Opening Spring/Summer 2026
Welcome to The Rock Getaway!
Since I was a kid, I’ve always felt a pull to live close to the land. The idea of waking up to fresh mountain air, growing my own food, and sitting around a fire under a sky full of stars has been with me for as long as I can remember. Now, in retirement, I finally have the chance to live that dream—and I want to share it with others.
The Rock Getaway isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience. It’s about stepping away from the rush of modern life and remembering what really matters—fresh air, good food, meaningful conversations, and a deep connection to the land. Here, you can see what off-grid living feels like before making the leap yourself, or just take a break and recharge in nature.
We live simply here. We raise chickens for eggs, grow a garden full of fresh vegetables, and embrace the rhythms of the seasons. The land provides, and in return, we respect and care for it. There’s something grounding about gathering your own food, cooking over a fire, and watching the sun set without the hum of traffic or city lights in the distance.
Whether you’re looking for adventure, reflection, or just a quiet place to breathe, The Rock Getaway is waiting for you. Spend your days exploring the wild beauty of Germansen Lake, visiting the historic Manson Creek Museum, or simply sitting by the fire, letting the crackling wood and fresh air remind you of life’s simple joys.
This is my dream, and I hope it inspires you to chase yours.
Adventure on Nina River
Hey there! We’re Colleen and Denis, the heart behind The Rock Getaway. This retreat is more than just a business for us—it’s a way of life. We built this place to live simply, close to nature, and to share that experience with others who crave the same kind of peace and connection.
Denis is the hands-on builder, outdoorsman, and all-around problem solver. He can fix just about anything and loves working on projects that make off-grid living more self-sufficient. I (Colleen) keep things running, cook up farm-fresh meals, and make sure every guest feels welcome, like they’re part of our extended family. Together, we love sharing stories by the fire, fresh food from the land, and the kind of simple joys that make life feel full.
We built The Rock Getaway to give others a place to breathe, reset, and experience what off-grid living really feels like. Whether you’re here for a weekend or thinking about making the leap yourself, we’re happy to share what we’ve learned along the way.
✔️ A True Off-Grid Experience – Live off-grid with comfort—woodstove heat, solar power, and farm-fresh food.
✔️ Try Before You Buy – Thinking of going off-grid? Stay here and see if it’s the right fit for you.
✔️ Breathtaking Location – Nestled in Germansen Landing, B.C. with Northern B.C wilderness all around.
✔️ Authentic, Down-to-Earth Hospitality – No fancy resort vibes—just real, meaningful experiences and genuine connection.
Mornings start with the sounds of nature—no alarm clocks needed, unless the Roosters wake you.
Pick fresh veggies from the garden, collect eggs, and enjoy a slow, home-cooked meal.
Spend the day exploring—visit Germansen Lake, tour Manson Creek Museum, or try gold panning in the creeks.
Evenings by the fire—swap stories, roast marshmallows, or just stare up at the endless star.
This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe, reset, and experience a different pace of life. Whether you're looking for adventure, peace, or just a weekend away from it all, we’d love to welcome you to The Rock Getaway.
