About Us

We're the Tremblays, and we're happy to bring you along our journey.

​

After years of searching for the right place, we purchased a

1-acre parcel on Mayne Island, where we'll build a cabin...

 

It' going to be our "family legacy project."

​

It's also going to be a Bed and Breakfast, scheduled to open in 2023.

​

Located about halfway between Vancouver and Victoria, Mayne Island is

small island with approximately 1,000 full-time residents, plus “weekenders” that

live on and off the island throughout the year. It's accessible by boat, via BC Ferries or by float plane.

​

We call it The Grove.

 

The Grove is a sunny, forested, gently sloping 1-acre property. It currently has two older bunkies (insulated sheds with beds and other furniture) that are used as sleeping quarters, while an old camping trailer provides a sitting and cooking area. There’s a deck overlooking the property, where we sip coffee and afternoon cocktails, while hypnotized by the ocean’s shimmering lights visible through the trees.

​

Right now, it’s rustic!

​

We use a “compost toilet”, there is no indoor plumbing, although we do have a well and fresh water, and an open-air shower with hot water on-demand.

​

There’s lots to do and explore on the island, from great hiking trails,

to beaches, a museum, the lighthouse, Japanese Gardens, a disk golf course,

a café and bakery, bookstore, farm stands, artist studios,

a couple of grocery stores and a few restaurants.

​

We'll happily share it with friends and family, so let us know

if you're interested in exploring The Grove and Mayne Island!
