I'd give Kent and his island 6 stars if they would let me! We stayed for 2 unforgettable days in the igloo/bubble cap site. I've never seen a site that had more accommodations, complete with firewood, fire pit, BBQ, utensils, and batteries, this place was the perfect harmony of nature but not at the point where it would be called "roughing it". Not to mention he and his wife were super friendly! We're already planning on returning in the spring to try one of his other sites on the island.

Can’t say enough good things about Kent, Heather, and this beautiful island!<br/>The hosts were so friendly and they (and their crew!) truly do make sure you have everything possible for a relaxing getaway. The island is absolutely gorgeous!! My husband and I are generally more “heavy duty” campers so having a camping experience with almost no effort made our little getaway feel like twice the vacation. We’re already daydreaming about our next island getaway!

So peaceful and relaxing. I suggest laying on the dock at night to view the stars it's absolutely beautiful. Kent is amazing host and would definitely recommend staying on his island.

Kent and his partner Heather are by far the warmest, most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve ever had. 1BSI is a very special and beautiful spot with lots of special little nooks and crannies. Highly recommend.

Kent was a great host! It’s clear he’s put a lot a love and passion into creating such a beautiful experience. My only regret is not booking longer.

This island getaway was perfect, and Kent was an amazing host! The whole crew has a good system down and they think of everything- perfect for people who don’t have much camping supplies but want to get out there in the wilderness! Each site on the island was unique and far apart so you feel very secluded. I loved how eco friendly they run their business
