🌲 Deep in the Roberts Creek forest, with the ocean a short drive away.
At Linwood House, mornings belong to the trees — old-growth trails, the yoga loft, the fire pit under a sky full of stars.

Afternoons belong to the coast — the pier at low tide, kayaking, the Gumboot Café, the sandbar that appears like it was made for you.

This is what a retreat that actually restores you looks like.

It is a pleasure to welcome back familiar faces to Linwood House!

My esteemed guests presenting me with a traditional Hong Kong Rooster bowl. 🥣
This is their second time at Linwood House and I very much hope they continue to come and share their warmth and music!

“I hosted a retreat with 13 people here and it was nothing short of amazing!

The property is even more beautiful in person — every detail was perfection, from the rose wallpaper to the rose tea mugs. The entire space was spotless, the beds were so comfortable, and all of my guests felt right at home and cozy.

Mark was exceptional throughout the entire process. We had a lot of questions during the planning stages, and he was always patient, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He also truly respected the nature of the work we were doing, which meant so much.

The property itself is magical, we even saw an owl during our stay! 🌿✨

I will absolutely be hosting more retreats here in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, supportive, and peaceful space.”

Close your eyes and imagine the forest settling into a deep, velvety hush. At Linwood House, the magic truly begins when the stars come out. 🌌

Picture yourself wrapped in a warm blanket, looking up at the Milky Way stretching across the sky.
Maybe you’re by the crackling fire pit, sharing a conversation that flows with the nighttime breeze, or simply sitting in the stillness, finally hearing your own thoughts. 🌲✨

These are the moments where you finally get to exhale.

Step into the stillness and come back to yourself. Read our latest blog on how you can experience this moment in real life. 📖

“This House is an absolute fairytale dream!! We had our wedding there and everything turned out even better than we expected.

The trees. Oh! The trees... they gently whisper to you with the wind.

The house is so well taken care of. Every room was carefully prepped for our guests and the property, overall, holds very beautiful energy.

Mark is incredibly attentive and helped with everything we needed.
This venue feels like a well-kept secret, but it deserves to be shared with the world.

Thank you, Linwood House, for giving us a place where we created memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

What makes Roberts Creek so special? It is the perfect mix of "low-key" and "high-vibe." 🎨🌲
Locals call themselves "Creekers," and they’ve built a community centered on creativity, nature, and connection.

You won’t find flashy tourist traps here. Instead, you’ll find:
🛶 Calm waters perfect for a morning stroll on the beach or paddle.
🥗 Wholesome, local food at the legendary Gumboot.
🖼️ Galleries filled with handmade pottery and local art.
🌅 Some of the best sunset views on the coast.
🌲 600 year old trees, waterfalls, and hundreds of rain forest trails to explore.

Hosting a retreat is rewarding, but participating in one is transformative. Spent a magical few days earlier this month with the Darling Axe crew at Linwood House—workshoping, writing, and even reading some of my own work aloud to seasoned authors. ✍️ Grateful for the community, the craft, and for reconnecting with a passion long dormant. Check out the full roundup in the link!

Nine writers joined us at Linwood House for a week of writing, workshops, and (of course) Code Names.

This was undoubtedly the best experience of hosting a retreat we could have had! Alina and I were fortunate enough to find Linwood house and to know that the history of this home was built to support women, we felt even better about hosting our women’s embodiment retreat here!

Mark was incredible, he was very hands on when we needed him, and then very hands off so we could drop in with no staff on sight which was very important to the work we were doing. Our guests said time and time again that they have never felt so safe and held and while Alina and I hold safety to the highest standard, it goes without saying that a huge portion of safety is the environment we are in!

This home is like an old Victorian mansion and the photos do not do it justice. It felt like we travelled through time and every detail of the home is so well thought out. It’s also very well maintained, exceptionally clean, and just breathtaking beyond words. Imagine being in a mini Victorian mansion in the centre of old cedar trees!

While there is an incredible yoga Shala, we could not stay inside because the location is so breathtaking. We did our morning yoga outside and our dinners and workshops in the great room. If you’re looking for a space to hold intimate retreats surrounded by nature and truly the best support team— Linwood House is the easy choice.

This will be where we hold all of our future Canadian retreats without question! We are forever grateful, Mark. And to the whole team that supports you that we did not get to meet— please thank them as well! We can’t wait to come back!

Fall? Winter? Spring? Or Summer? Which season is actually the best to visit Linwood House?✨

The truth is, the forest never tells the same story twice. While our returning guests all have their personal favourite time of year, each season offers a unique rhythm to match your retreat goals:
🌸 Spring is for emergence: think wildflowers, birdsong, and fresh intentions.
☀️ Summer is for abundance: vibrant colours, kayaking, and long evenings by the fire.
🍂 Fall is for reflection: crisp air and golden forest trails. It is our most popular retreat season for a reason!
❄️ Winter is for stillness: deep rest, cozy fireplaces, and the "cathedral of quiet."

No matter the month, our centre is designed to hold you in comfort, from our heated studio floors to our private forest trails.

We want to hear from you! Cast your vote in the comments: Which season is your ultimate getaway weather? 👇
