Free Spirit Spheres inc.

Stayed with my sister for a weekend in November celebrating our post secondary graduations. Tom and Rosey welcomed us upon arrival to escort us to the Luna Sphere and we were delighted to find a celebratory “Congratulations!” banner had been placed along with a very thoughtful and generous welcome basket filled with goodies (even accommodating gluten free items for an allergy!). The Luna sphere was cozy and comfortable, we had all we needed for a relaxing weekend. The grounds were woodsy and well kept, the private bathroom suite, sauna and kitchen were very clean, organized and stocked with all you would need for your stay. The location is easy to find and central to many great local spots and very commute-able for popular sites such as Cathedral Grove and Qualicum Beach beach. Overall we had an absolutely lovely, peaceful stay and Tom and Rosey were lovely, kind hosts. Would recommend staying here if you would like a comfortable yet unique place to relax and enjoy the offerings of the west coast. Thanks again Tom and Rosey for your generosity and kindness!

This place is magical and enchanting. We loved our stay! My daughter has been looking forward to this trip since she read about the “hanging hotel” in Nat Geo Kids magazine 7 years ago! She was finally able to go as you have to be 16 years old and it was a dream come true for her. The spheres are incredible. So unique and actually quite luxurious and comfortable. We were surprised to find our sphere decorated for my daughters birthday and a piece of birthday cake with a candle waiting inside. So thoughtful and made the experience even more special. Every sphere is provided with a really nice basket of treats- cheese, crackers, pastries,etc. The bathrooms are separate from the spheres but it’s nice that you actually have your own private bathroom assigned to your tree house. The bathrooms are really nice and have hot water and heaters. The composting toilet beneath each sphere was convenient and colored pencils are provided so guests can leave a note on the walls. The property is gorgeous and peaceful. It feels very enchanted. There are little surprises everywhere you look such as tiny fairy gardens, painted inspirational rocks tucked away, sparkling twinkle lights. We saw a lot of wildlife, including a bear! But it ran away as soon as it saw us and heard a barking dog. The owner and builder is a very nice man! Loved it there!

A truly remarkable stay. The spheres are beautifully designed and we were extremely comfortable as a couple in our Melody Sphere as we watched rabbits and deer scurry by. The bathrooms are close by and well appointed. The hosts are gracious and thoughtful. Not only would I stay here again, I would say that a night in these spheres is worth a trip in and of itself.

I stayed one night in Melody, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is such a unique place surrounded by nature — a peaceful retreat that feels magical. The sphere had everything I needed, and I honestly didn’t want to leave. The facilities were excellent, with a sauna and private bathroom available for guests. Out of all the places I’ve ever stayed, this was by far the most special. There’s also a river within walking distance, and if the weather is warm enough, you can even go for a swim. I’ll definitely be coming back here again someday!

5 stars? It should be a million stars 🤩. My husband told me he booked a "tree house" experience and I'm absolutely intrigued. Who doesn't want to relive childhood and stay in a treehouse? It is technically not a treehouse, but a suspended sphere which is amazing. We rented Luna, it is very cozy and well-equipped. Everything is hand built by Tom, when he talked about the sphere his eyes lit, I could tell he's very proud of his creations, and how could he not? They're a piece of art. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is just amazing. Words cannot describe, you'll have to experience yourself. Each sphere has a outhouse just steps away, it's very clean and not smelly at all. And it has a bag of color pencils for you to draw on the walls. It's fun to see what people write and draw while... 💩🤣 Rosie was very friendly and courteous. We had a nice conversation, learning about their spheres and their lives. Overall it's been a great experience, a great way for us to get away from the city life and connected with nature.

What a fantastic and unique getaway to the free spirit sphere. We went at the beginning of our honeymoon island tour and it was such a great start to the trip. When that gloomy morning rain hits the windows I feel like I could lay in that cozy bunk all day. The spheres are an engineering marvel and the amenities were sparklingly clean. The Incredible hosts really made us feel special, they go above and beyond here. Cell service (and sometimes even wifi) is lacking so get comfortable with disconnecting and enjoy this space.

Tom built the most amazing and luxurious human-sized squirrel hideouts, nested in the trees around a small lake. Each detail of the spheres and their interior are beautifully crafted and make for a great and unique experience. We loved that Tom showed us his workshop and the impressive effort that goes into completing each sphere. We rented Luna for my partner's birthday and she got surprised by a great basket of snacks and sparkling wine. Now, there is one thing... What do I suddenly have an urge to collect and hide nuts for next winter?

I first discovered this place in 2010. There's nothing like sleeping in the trees, especially in those beautifully hand-crafted spheres Tom makes. The folks who own the place are amazing and very welcoming. The whole area and vibe is very beautiful. I'll be back one day; It's worth driving all the way to the island for.

Unique experience similar to glamping. Most gracious and generous hosts by I have ever met.

Such an amazing and unique experience. I stayed in the Eryn sphere for one night with my boyfriend while we were making our way from Victoria to Tofino. The sphere was so cozy and comfortable, and the engineering and design behind the sphere is just incredibly intelligent and such a marvel. The owners/hosts also do such a great job of making your stay 100% comfortable. They prepared a big snack basket for us inside our sphere filled with baked goods, granola bars, and fruit, and another small plate of fruit and cheesecake and a small bottle of champagne. They also prepared the most delicious yogurt parfait for us to eat for breakfast the next morning. Lying in the sphere in the forest is just the most amazing and tranquil experience. Our sphere had a wireless bluetooth speaker which we used to play relaxing music in the evening and in the morning. The acoustics in the sphere are fantastic. I loved waking up in the sphere and just staring outside the window in the morning, looking at the tree branches surrounding us with some soft jazz music playing in the background. For anyone who is worried, the bathroom facilities are also super clean and modern and comfortable. They are just a short walk away and there are headlamps provided in case you need to walk there at night. I honestly can't recommend this experience enough! It was definitely pricey ($330 for one night, and our sphere was the cheapest available), but I am really glad we did it and am looking forward to returning again in the future!

Cannot express how much we loved these spheres. We traveled with another couple, so we got to experience both the Eve and Melody spheres. First, Tom and Rosie are amazing. Their intelligence, passion, and creativity is evidenced by the craftsmanship of the spheres, the well appointed grounds and facilities, and the few life stories they shared with us. Getting to chat with such interesting people during our stay was a pleasant unexpected bonus. Second, the sphere experience is very unique. Hovering amongst the trees and birds while looking out rounded windows towards a little lake was peaceful and beautiful. While the Eve was a little tight, it was still sufficient space for two. Every nook and cranny was well planned and all of our things were tucked away just perfectly maximizing space. Apparently Tom spent 5 years building Eve, and the quality is very impressive. Our friends stayed in Melody, which is larger than Eve. At night the four of us comfortably were able to sit around the table inside and play games and enjoy the sphere. Overall our stay was very memorable and I would definitely go back. I could imagine taking my hypothetical kids up there in the future to explore the spheres and local community.

Thanks to Rosie and Tom for doing a GREAT job! Their hospitality is fabulous, and the effort put into the spheres is truly a special effort. It's an amazing environment, and you'll discover some of the magical elements of the spheres while there! Be aware, that a stay here is more about connecting to nature than some goofy high-end hotel. Service is personal, but you'll be walking through grassy or damp areas, and climbing rope ladders to your room. There's a huge pond and small converted trailer which houses a sauna and showers on the grounds (really awesome conversion, btw!). The are also deer and horses in the areas nearby, so you may see some around from your window/porthole. That doesn't mean it isn't worth it though - it is, just expect to be mobile. The biggest challenge is getting there from Vancouver - I live in Los Angeles and flew, drove, helicoptered over, and drove some more!

Seriously awesome. My girlfriend and I visited the last weekend and it was a once in a lifetime experience. The spheres are perfectly round and masterfully crafted from either wood or fiberglass. They are magnificently suspended between 3 trees using heavy duty roping and a sphere harness system. The insides of the spheres were not only comfortable but a true work of carpentry. As an engineers, we take our hats off to the level of detail and work put into making these spheres a living possibility. Architecture, craftsmanship, and engineering aside, the experience of living in the beautiful trees of the Pacific Northwest was outstanding. The tranquility of the woods and the dazzling array of stars in the night sky made this trip worth it. Waking up in a sphere amongst the trees was a really cool experience too. Take a trip up to Qualicum Beach - you can thank me later!

By far the coolest place I have ever stayed. My boyfriend and I stayed here on our tour of the PNW. It was a wonderful experience. We stayed in the Eve sphere, which comfortably fits two people. Jamie and Rosey were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It is an amazing place to enjoy some peace and quiet while enjoying a truly unique and memorable accommodation. The welcome snacks were a delight! We received pastries, yogurt, small bottle of champagne, fruit, and cookies. It was very nice to have snacks to munch on the next morning rather than rushing off to breakfast. Free Spirit Spheres is a memorable experience and I will definitely be back.

Free Spirit Spheres is A MUST STAY! We just got back from our trip there and are already talking about when do we get to go back. The spheres are unbelievably cool and entirely made by the owner! The owners were all so friendly and the designer of the spheres took time out to show us his newest sphere creation. We were wowed by the design and skill of this craftsman. You will not be disappointed- go! The area is also absolutely beautiful if you decide to leave the sphere ;)

Awesome experience, Friendly owners, comfortable place to stay. They gave extra effort to make our visit special.

My husband and I came here as a part of our 10th Anniversary Trip. From the moment we called to make our reservation, to driving away from the property, it was a wonderful experience. When we called to reserve Melody, they asked if we were celebrating anything and said they would hang a sign for us and have champagne waiting for us in our sphere. The property is beautiful, with huge trees in every direction and a peaceful pond in the center. Melody was very comfortable and I loved feeling like I was living amongst these mammoth trees. It sprinkled rain on us all night which was actually quite relaxing and peaceful. We both loved the whole experience. The little outhouse right next to the sphere is adorable and even includes map pencils to encourage creative messages & pictures. The bathhouse is just a few steps more away and is extremely clean and modern. It includes a mini-kitchen and a cozy sauna. When we arrived, we got a little mini-tour of the property, including a glance at the newest spheres that are in the building phase in the workshop where we met Tom, the brains behind the operation. Everyone was super friendly from beginning to end. It was our favorite part of our trip and we hope to go back before we hit another 10 years. :D
