The Medicine Farm - Ucluelet, British Columbia

Ai I.

My favorite stay spot in Ucluelet/Tofino at all times since I stayed there for first time, 5 years ago. I always enjoy their beautiful place with beautiful people, animals, and nature. I will come back again and again!

Me and my 2 girlfriends booked a cabin here over the May long weekend. We didn’t end up staying here for a few reasons:

We were concerned when we arrived that the host did not introduce himself, until we asked him his name. The cabin did not have any capability of being locked either. For 3 women in the bush this was concerning to us. Our next concern was the fact that we were the only people booked for the weekend, which seemed strange as it was a long weekend and most lodging was fully booked. These things triggered our gut instincts so we did some research. Upon looking at reviews, and asking some local friends, we decided for our safety we were not going to stay there. Having no service and the lack of reliable signage from the logging road to find the location was also a concern. We did not personally experience any negative behaviours from the owner. However, we didn’t want to stick around and find out for ourselves. Based on our instincts, reviews and personal stories from friends (which were scary) we decided it was best not to stay. We thought it best to leave an up to date review of our experience for others to make the best decisions for themselves. 1 star review exclusively because of our gut instincts and confirmation from reliable friends.

Enjoyed a stay at the Seer for a few nights. Met some of the most friendly animals in my life, all raised by the owner. The dogs and the cats joined us for long hikes and hang out with us in the evenings. Their is a beautiful trail carved out to the beach not for beginners but is definitely worth the effort. Medicine Farm is a unique remote place in the middle of the woods. The host Ziga was very kind and welcoming, let us borrow mugs and wood even offered some of the eggs from the chickens there. We felt very welcomed and safe. Our cabin overlooked the tops of the trees and was equipped with a gas stove. There was a shower and a toilet near by. The roads to get there are rough so don’t go with a car that’s not prepared for forest roads. It’s only a 10 minute drive for Ucluelet. Overall, I would be very happy to return and it’s a great place for calm nature loving individuals.

I have spent countless times at the medicine farm over the last 5 years where I have had the opportunity to bond with Zigaziga as well as eden and partake in a plant medicine cermony which changed my life. As a woman in her 20's i have never felt unsafe in this place for even a second, I've spent many nights talking until the sun came up with the hosts, exchanging tales and spiritual beliefs and I never felt judged for who i am but embraced, never was i attempted to be initiated into a cult. Let me start by saying this is obviously not your typical lodging situation. This is an alternative dynamic, off grid, nature based experience with a host who has been unplugged from the matrix and has chosen to take a path parrell to society for 20+ years.. expect different, expect some "far out" thinking, expect them to speak their minds and not be restricted by usual societal norms. hell i find it entertaining and refreshing. It is not for the faint of heart, judgemental, hoity toity people out there. It is not mundane, do not expect to compare it to commercial lodging in town. Take it for what it is. If your strong enough to embrace it for what it is.. there is so much beauty and magic waiting to be experienced on this off grid land. Im not discounting what others have claimed to have experienced, but I have spent time there more than i can count and I have never had a negative experience. Then again, im not looking to be judgemental and i dont scare easily. This place will always be like a second home to me no matter how far i travel.

Although it was hard to find the first time because of no signage we quickly got it figured out. Yes the road is rough but it was a logging road after all. We heard someone had trouble with the dogs that are there to keep the wildlife at bay but we found them to be calm and no problem. The compost bucket was way better than the usual outhouses people have and was clean and no smell for us. We camped and had a great spot. We also had dinner with Eden and it was awesome as was the company. ZigaZig was a bit flakey but part of the experience. We would go again as it is only a half hour from stuff and we want to try the cabins lol.... The shower we didn't try but will next time...it's outdoor living people and way off grid so a choice thing.

We had a fantastic experience hands down!!
We were at the forest dreamer cabin and it had everything we needed. The hosts are amazing bunch as well, they were pretty accommodating. Be aware the cabin isn't like regular bnbs in terms of amenities. Bring your own fresh water, there was no running water at the cabin but that only added to the experience. There was much more to experience like their vegetable farm that we didn't have time to explore in the little 2 days we were there. The highlight was the clan of great pyrenees dogs/puppies they have at their farm. Makes you feel secure and their cuteness is too much to handle 🥰🥰
Overall it was a great rustic experience in wilderness, would love to do this again!!

Absolutely loved my stay in The Artist at The Medicine Farm!!! Really love what Ziga and Eden have done with this place. They were there to great us and others when we arrived and were very friendly. Just awesome vibes all together. 💕. I do recommend checking out the website and reading up about this place so you know what to expect and what their place is all about. If you are looking for hotel/hostel like amenities, then I would suggest going somewhere else.

Had to leave earlier than expected due to work related emergency. However, in our short stay, both Zigaziga and Eden have been wonderful and welcoming and their beautiful 3 dogs, cats and ducks! It is off the grid, really cool to hear what they were able to do with the place from scratch in 20 years. Really amazing. They were straightforward and honest and I feel as long as you understand that, you will have a wonderful time. Thanks again, I hope to see y'all down the line!
