Magical Moments Await You

Since 2001, Linwood House has hosted hundreds of retreats and special celebrations that have resulted in many happy clients. No matter the purpose of the retreat or celebration, people come with expectation, often weighted with the cares of life, and leave inspired, and connected and with renewed possibilities. We can comfortably accommodate groups between 6 and 12 persons for retreats.  For larger group special occasions please contact us with your details.

How It
Works

 

  • Up to 10 bedrooms/6 washrooms that can accommodate up to 13 single people comfortably (note a full group would involve 9 sleeping in the retreat centre and 4 sleeping in our timberframe Carriage House located beside our main parking area).

  • Exclusive use of our Great Room and outdoor patio, plus of course access to our yard and gardens.

  • ExclusiveExclusive use of our 1200 square foot studio room, perfect for yoga, meditation, music, crafts, light exercise classes, and any other open room activities.

  • A professional kitchen for catering, which includes 2 ovens, 3 dishwashers, a 6 burner gas stove and a 6 burner professional Weber BBQ capable of handling small groups.

  • A high-end coffee station that automatically grinds full beans to make individual espressos, lattes, cappuccinos at the touch of a button.

  • Our garden suite will serve as your dining area, meaning preparing and cleaning up after meals will never interfere with your social or spinning activities.

  • Our rate for a weekend (Friday afternoon through Sunday evening) is $300/person ($150 per person/night), plus a flat-rate cleaning fee of $225 for the retreat centre and $125 for the Carriage House (if required for your group size). Note that meals would be on top of this rate, and we do have a caterer we would be happy to connect you with to discuss your requirements, or you would be absolutely free to make your own.

It takes a special place to find stillness and joy. This is Linwood House – the most exquisite space for our latest spring retreat. Incredible facilities, excellent meals, a beautiful garden that allows for meandering, and a ‘great’ room for gathering.

Robyn McVicker, Director of Marketing at YVR Airport

I've brought corporate groups to Linwood House for Strategic Planning retreats. Two days away from the busy of the organization to a place of peace and inspiration is priceless.

Georgia Cyr, Owner/Operator, Blissful Yoga Sechelt

As soon as you reach the end of the driveway at Linwood House, you know you've arrived somewhere special. I've hosted two yoga retreats here and each time, everyone has left feeling so deeply nourished by the peaceful environment and the thoughtful care and attention of the Linwood staff. Would highly recommend!

Gloria Macarenko, Canadian Radio and TV Journalist (CBC)

It's such a perfect setting to encourage people to share and connect, truly away from it all.

Jennifer Hewlett, Founder-Fresh Air Life 2017 Tim Jones Community Achievement Award Recipient

Love is everywhere on this sacred property. From the minute you arrive you feel at home. You feel settled. You feel relaxed, you feel at peace. There is love and laughter around every corner and in every conversation when you visit Linwood House. This home is filled with incredible energy, people and life stories. So many of us who have visited have been on our life journey and have left a part of our heart there. It is important for me to know that I can go back again and again and be part of the Linwood House – to love, laugh, listen, sing, dance, and be a part of something special.

Sally Maulucci, Retired Sales Executive

Entering Linwood House is a bit like walking into a full sized Victorian doll’s house. Each room is beautifully decorated with gorgeous furnishings and artwork. The two days I spent there with my sewing group were so delightful, peaceful and luxurious. Gwen and Ron provided us with every conceivable comfort. Lovely food, a roaring fire, lattes on demand, comfy beds and such charming company. The setting in the woods of BC’s beautiful Sunshine Coast is easily accessible from Vancouver but it is such a complete getaway – we returned feeling renewed and restored in body and soul.

Marlene Lowden, Artist and Educator

It has been nothing but a delight to work with the Linwood team. They are easy to communicate with, attentive to details and so incredibly welcoming. I hope to continue to create retreats at Linwood, it is the perfect getaway, especially for a group of women.

Linwood House is magical, a true Queen Ann Victorian home in a forest setting that instantly beckons relaxation. Having all of us together in one beautiful home allowed us to focus on our friendships and enjoy our time together without any worries. I highly recommend choosing to stay at Linwood House if you’re considering a special celebration, a get away with your book club, or needing an inspirational setting for a corporate retreat. I will definitely return to Linwood House soon.

John Paul and Bo Lamb, Happy Newlyweds

The location is incredible! For our visitors coming from all over the globe, the West Coast ambience had them in awe. All the facilities we needed, including accommodations for many of our overseas visitors, were on site. Celebrating our marriage at Linwood House took on a deeper meaning as the care and attention provided an atmosphere and vibe that I don't think we could've found anywhere else. We look back on that day knowing that we found a true Sunshine Coast gem in Linwood House. Any couples looking for a unique and beautiful venue… there is no need to look further. This is the one!

Randene Hardy, Women’s Advocate, Activist

Linwood House is unique. It is a frazzled mother's or a harried businesswoman’s answer to recharging her batteries. It's a little bit of heaven on the Sunshine Coast that will forever change anyone who enters this space.

Heather Plett, Retreat Leader

"Linwood House is a magical place. I’ve worked all over the world and have found few places and few hosts that can so beautifully hold space for the kind of deep work that we do at our retreats. This unique quality is because it’s in such a beautiful location and the grounds are so beautifully kept--a quiet sanctuary set apart from the busy world. People leave my retreats transformed, not just because of what goes on during the retreat, but because of how safe and loved they felt at Linwood House."
