Where: Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island, BC Canada

Ideal for: Unique Weekend Getaway

A little sway from side to side. Branches and leaves in all directions. A deep breath fills you with those forest smells. It just might evoke childhood memories of climbing and tree houses. This is the grown up version, and you won’t be roughing it by any means. If you’re looking to change it up from the trails and campsites, Free Spirit Spheres can give you a dose of tranquility and even some unexpected luxury.

A flashback to the big screen’s Ewok Village is likely to occur, yet upon stepping into one of the three suspended orbs, expectations of the interiors are immediately surpassed. Each orb has its own unique personality, and every detail is designed and hand-crafted by Tom, co-owner and host. A cabin-like feel is achieved, and your spherical space’s bed, sitting areas, and other furniture can be easily converted thanks to the foresight of Tom’s clever engineering. After waking up calm and rested in your spherical space, if you’re lucky you might just be able to peak into Tom’s workshop and have a friendly chat as he creates a new orb to be enjoyed by many future travelers.

We were lucky enough to chat with Tom as he created new spheres inside his workshop.
