Opening Spring/Summer 2026
Welcome to The Rock Getaway!
For most of my life, I was busy raising a family, building a career, and keeping up with the pace of the modern world. Yet no matter where life took me, I always felt drawn back to something simpler.
As a Haida woman, I grew up with an understanding that we are connected to the land, not separate from it. Over the years, that connection became something I missed deeply. I found myself longing for quiet mornings, open spaces, meaningful work, and a life that felt more grounded and intentional.
Eventually, I decided it was time to stop dreaming and start living differently.
The Rock Getaway was born from that decision. It is the result of choosing a slower pace, embracing off-grid living, and creating a life that feels more aligned with my values. Here, I spend my days gardening, caring for animals, cooking homemade meals, and appreciating the simple things that are often lost in the rush of everyday life.
This isn't a resort designed to entertain you every minute of the day. It's a place to breathe. A place to wake up to birdsong instead of alarms, watch the stars instead of screens, and experience the kind of peace that comes from being surrounded by nature.
Whether you're curious about off-grid living, considering a major life change, or simply looking for a place to rest and reconnect, my hope is that you'll find something meaningful here.
The Rock Getaway is more than a cabin in the wilderness. It's a reminder that another way of living is possible.
This is the life I chose, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share a small piece of it with others.

Adventure on Nina River
Hi, I'm Colleen.
I am a Haida woman, a mother, and someone who believes that life is meant to be lived a little closer to the land and a little slower than the world often encourages.
For many years, I lived a busy life focused on work, responsibilities, and raising a family. While I am grateful for those experiences, I always felt drawn back to a simpler way of living. The values I was raised with—respect for nature, resilience, community, and gratitude—continued to guide me, even when life took me in different directions.
Eventually, I chose to follow that calling and build a life that felt more connected to who I am. Today, I live off-grid in Germansen Landing British Columbia, where I spend my time gardening, caring for animals, cooking, learning new skills, and enjoying the peace that comes from living closer to nature.
One of my greatest joys is meeting people from different walks of life and hearing their stories. I believe everyone has something to teach us. Whether we're sharing a meal, sitting around a fire, or simply enjoying the quiet, some of the best conversations happen when we slow down enough to be present.
I don't claim to have life all figured out. I'm simply someone who chose a different path and continues to learn every day. My hope is that those who visit leave feeling rested, inspired, and reminded that there is beauty in simplicity.
I look forward to welcoming you and sharing a little piece of this life with you.
