My Retreat
My Retreat
My Retreat takes audiences inside the iconic and the unique cabins along some of the world's most scenic shorelines, riverbanks and mountainsides.
Going There
In this episode we visit three retreats that have found very different ways to minimize their environmental impact.
Extreme Cottaging
Cottages in the extreme… from a mountain top chalet near Whistler BC, to a Cottage that's half in, and half out of the water.
Sailing Away
In this episode we visit a place that, using boat technology, offers one of a kind round treehouses that hang in the forest in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island.
Getting There Is Half The Fun
In this episode we visit a round summer home on an island in BC that you can only reach by helicopter.
Retreats With History
For this episode we found three retreats that each have a century of history.
Family
Time at the cottage is all about Family… but what happens when your four kids grow up and need their own place?
Island Life
We'll also show you one of BC's famous “floating cottages.” It's part boat, part house and all fun.
Near The Beach
Beaches aren't just for the Caribbean. In this episode we visit three cottages that aren't just near a beach – they are inspired by it.
Forest and the Trees
We visit a pint-sized place where creative cottagers have turned their lightning struck stump into a 'bear-sized' totem pole!
Artists Inspiration
These three creative people have found that their cottages let them renew and rediscover their creative drive.
Having Fun
When you live in the country and don't want to commute to a cottage, what do you do? You build an adult treehouse in your own backyard!
It's Not The Price Tag
We visit a boathouse owner in Lake of the Woods, Ontario who instead of buying a new cottage, had his unique cottage hauled up on land!
Back In Time
For this episode we meet an American hippy in Northern Ontario that has been camping on a rock, no water, no power, no neighbours, for more than 40 years.
