Just found your videos last week Jan 20.2022 I love them !! I am 74 years old great grandmother from East Tennessee in Smokey mountains. You have a beautiful fiancé!!! And your mom, dad and sister are so fortunate to have someone like you !! I'm living vicariously through you ! I LOVE to travel and have been to 7 countries in Europe when I was MUCH YOUNGER... So I am really enjoying your videos!!!!
stayed here on a solo trip a few years ago. the family that runs it is super friendly and made my stay so comfortable. had the best sleep of the year there.
This is great. Good to see the two of you again. I love that place. I live here on the island and many of us deeply respect this man and his family. Solid people that give back to the community as well. Thanks for the video, brother ❤️
Hi Mike , just have to say the fact Nicole truly loves you shines thro on this. Thx as always for the upload and was lovely to see a ray of sunshine. Love Da Bard
Lucky ducks! My sons would love this adventure with this blessed Mom!!

I usually don't binge watch stuff on UA-cam, but in last 2 days I've watched like 15 of your videos. They are great and i really enjoy them! Nature, the way you present and talk. Perfect!
Nichole your not flat and boring, you have curves in all the right places and you've chosen a bright and lively guy. Great Chanel dudes. Love BC especially Vancouver island.
I lived and worked in Parksville/Qualicum for 6 months for my first ever film job. It was so beautiful and I couldn’t believe how lucky I was so be driving up and down the gorgeous island highways all summer. Best experience and I’ve taken my husband a few times to visit for mini vacations.
I happen to live down the road from these spheres! They are actually located in Qualicum Bay near the Big Qualicum River that flows into the Salish Sea. This area is RICH in culture and history and it would have been great to hear about some of that😉
Oh I love this place! Thanks to you, I now have a "B.C. I Can" list for when I can go up to Canada again. So many great places you have shown, but I cannot wait to see more.
Mike you always find the most amazing places, even those hidden in your own backyard, thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures! Its always ALWAYS a pleasure my friend!
There is a land on this great earth. So impressive by its girth. From the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The Pacific Ocean it does reach. From Newfoundland to Vancouver B.C. Reaching north to the Arctic Sea. The Yukon Territory with the promise of gold. The wide open Plains a sight to behold. Bison replaced by sheep and cattle. Railways Cross with a gentle rattle. Ribbons of steel skirt rivers and streams. Freshwater lakes fill a travellers dreams. Snow capped peaks that pierce the sky. The wind in the trees that reach so high. From a restful sleep to slowly awaken. The aroma of maple and Canadian bacon. For many of us this is a magical dream. Through you Mike, much we have seen. When you are weary or need lite relief. Simply gaze at your flag with its red Maple Leaf.
I believe I had seen this place on “Treehouse Masters” but not to the detail that you provided. You are showing that there are interesting places to see and places to stay. Keep it up.
Backing up and watching many of your older videos...spot on Mike; I can only smile watching and listening to you. Also nice to see Nicole in your videos, you guys are a cute couple. Keep up the great work.
I love Qualicum Beach. Didn't know these were there. As a fellow Vancouverite I really Love this channel. People get to see what an Incredible place that we are soo blessed to live. Keep it going bro.
I Love The Parallell of The Black Bird Schnitzel Haus…& The Orb …the two of You stayed in… Yellow…decorated with Black Birds… Canada 🍁 is so beautiful. The Orbs would make a great recording studio! So want to visit BC! Dankeschön
Original idea ! Very cosi place. And the music at the end is really coool ! Funny thing is every time I see a sphere like this, it reminds me the movie Contact (1997) with Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaugheya and Tom Skerritt.
Great vid! I've always thought these spheres were amazing. Thank you for showing us these. Glad you both got to enjoy such a relaxing place. Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work!
We stayed in the exact same sphere for our anniversary! It was so coooool! We hit up the Horne Lake Caves nearby too which I highly recommend. The welcoming gift basket they give you here was so tasty and big too. Plus a sauna! I mean come on.
Also I don't want to ruin anything but if you go here, go for a walk around the property when it gets dark out (safely). There's a pretty surprise in the trees near the bathrooms. Here's a video of our trip here! Check it out :D ua-cam.com/video/S1DQ8hjR71U/v-deo.html
Mike, thanks for showing this place. I lived on the Island, close to Qualicum Beach for a couple of years and never heard of this place. Love your video's.
I have flown a few trips to Canada 🇨🇦mostly, to Calgary. BUT, OK Canada!!! I am seeing all your cool spots to see and do. The phrase, “Don’t come a knocking if, it’s rocking would not apply in this case.” This place is cool! Another, Great job on this video! 👏🏼👍👏🏼
I've been watching the videos for about 2 days... started with your dad's birthday train ride.... omg with your content I so want to visit!!! Thank you for your videos... these hanging spheres are amazing... also love the stay-cations and how much you highlight local stuff.... was watching on my tv and grabbed the phone to comment so side note on the 100$ stay... ya glad you looked first cause 99% of the time you DIVE into bed... but great videos!!
That is awesome! And, yes. It was great I checked the bed first, because as you said, I normally just dive right in! I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Lots more coming, every Saturday!
I'm a bit late this week and I see why you didn't post until late. Looking forward to that one by the way. First reactions; Wow! What a novel idea for a glamp! Great to see Nicole again! Bong on the gong reminds me of Lurch in the Addams Family (You rang!) ! 'Nuff said about rockin' the orb! Glad you enjoyed the German Restaurant - always good to try new menus ! I can think of several places close to Melbourne where this sort of glamping experience would really take off - and there are many others in our wide brown land (and the little bit downunder populated by devils - Tassy if you haven't guessed). Thanks again for a wonderful video and keep 'em coming. Cheers from Michael.
I would have never guessed your next Canada stay was going to be in an 'Orb!' Never in a million years! You certainly find unique places in Canada to show us. I loved it. So, nice to see your lovely girlfriend. Keep up the great work, Mike.
We almost stayed there about a month ago... but we ended up in the Yukon instead. Hahaha. But I totally think that’s the place to stay. How fun! Orb’s in the sky. Good stuff
Awesome content as usual Mike. You find the greatest places. Love your channel. 👍👍. The pond one has posts so it can’t roll into the water maybe😀😜🤣. Be safe pal!
Michael, when you went to sleep did you sleep well or did you get seasick swinging back-and-forth. You did it again you found something fun This is totally brilliant. Thank you
BC rocks! Mike, these places are unreal. The detail on the Orbs was incredible! I think every bathroom should have a pencil sharpener..hehe. This was EXACTLY what I needed to see today. Thanks as always for having me along. PS: I loved the Young & The Restless hair toss by the way!! LOL
Mike, thanks for another great video! It's been a very interesting couple of months...tree houses, boats, buses, caboose hotel rooms, sky trains, owls, and now a hanging orb? Too cool. I like how you close by saying the trip is over and it's back to Vancouver and "normal life." LOL...that's not you Mike. I cannot wait for next week's adventure! Stay safe, Kimba.
Oh WOW! I envisioned something like that when I was looky-loo-ing @ houses/retirement spots, and came across a great spot on the coast. Sadly a forced work reassessment period stopped those plans. Sweet looking setup even with the mushroom shaped outhouse. Thanks for inviting me along!
Great video Mike!! You really find those hidden gems to show us. My wife really liked the looks of that place and hopes we can go there (maybe next summer) too. She also commented on just how excellent your vlogs always are. She's right.
In Canada, all those amazing places you stay at they alwayz have real nice gift baskets and snacks, its alwayz well done and so quaint. This was the most unusual and strange sphere place but definitely would try it out, can't knock it, til you try it. What is the circumference of the sphere? Maybe on day he will double up and make a two story and a couple side spheres, then you would be living like a gerbil. This was very impressive, I'm in awe right now, amazing!!!
Yeah, German food.... But our Bratkartoffel are more thinner than in your dinner but also great. And Schnitzel is every time the right time😊 Did you see some animals there? Or which were mentioned in the liability you have signed? Looking forward to your next video. When you can travel again, you need to visit an island in Germany called Helgoland. It is great there. Just Google it and you can see a lot of nature (but only if the day tourists are gone) and you can have a walk at the coast and see thousand of sea birds. It has one of the largest colonies of sea birds in Germany. Stay safe, staff healthy and take care
Just found your videos last week Jan 20.2022

Agreed!
That it is my friend

Very very cool! Looks so peaceful.
It really is!
That was great Mike & Nicole! I have good friends who live in Qualicum. I definitely want to stay in the Melody Sphere one day.
That was awesome Mike. Thank you you both. Really enjoyed that.
Our pleasure!

I live on the island and it is just beautiful!
So awesome again Mike. I really want to vacation up that way now. Hopefully soon! Keep up the great work, we love ya and you and the family be safe.
Thanks Robert! You too
I believe I had seen this place on “Treehouse Masters” but not to the detail that you provided. You are showing that there are interesting places to see and places to stay. Keep it up.
Yes, BC is a beautiful province, but sometimes you just have to know where to look.
DownieLive and thanks for the introduction. Now if they will just let us from the South come and visit.
Backing up and watching many of your older videos...spot on Mike; I can only smile watching and listening to you. Also nice to see Nicole in your videos, you guys are a cute couple. Keep up the great work.

One of your coolest videos, Mike. Great job on this one. My wife and I watch all of them and we love following your adventures.
Awesome! Thank you!
So, Mike, are you saying, "Don't come a knocking, if our orb is a rockin''"?
Exactly.
@@DownieLive Nicole? Just wondering!
Yet another awesome place that I must stay in someday. Thanks for sharing and much love
Any time!
OMGosh! Looks fabulous! Ty for sharing our awesome beautiful BC!
My pleasure Corinne!

I've been looking for your vlog since yesterday. Beautiful scenery, especially by the pond.
Thanks 👍. Yes, sorry for the delay. I was on a train trip last week for an upcoming video, and I didn't have time to edit.
Wow 🤩 ... no more international travel until I explore more of home! This place is absolutely amazing!
THANKS FOR SHARING. MUCH APPREACIATED.
Awesome video Mike. BC is definitely on my Bucket List. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
This is fantastic!!! Sweet guys!

Was so eager to watch this so I cycled bike home real quick from church 😉 awesome video Mike !
Wow, Thanks! I'm working on a small members only video from this experience. Hopefully I can have it finished for you for tomorrow.
The spheres are so cool looking it would be cool to stay there !
Impressive! Who knew that Qualicum Beach had such interesting places.
I'm a bit late this week and I see why you didn't post until late. Looking forward to that one by the way. First reactions; Wow! What a novel idea for a glamp! Great to see Nicole again! Bong on the gong reminds me of Lurch in the Addams Family (You rang!) ! 'Nuff said about rockin' the orb! Glad you enjoyed the German Restaurant - always good to try new menus ! I can think of several places close to Melbourne where this sort of glamping experience would really take off - and there are many others in our wide brown land (and the little bit downunder populated by devils - Tassy if you haven't guessed).

You got it, Michael!
I would have never guessed your next Canada stay was going to be in an 'Orb!' Never in a million years! You certainly find unique places in Canada to show us. I loved it. So, nice to see your lovely girlfriend. Keep up the great work, Mike.
Thanks so much!
Like I always say, I don’t know where I’m going next, but I know I want you there with me!
It’s nice to see Nichole in your vlog. I hope you both enjoyed your stay. The German food looks so yummy!
Having the time of your life! 🤗
Wow, I loved it! Must be an incredible experience!
Awesome video... really enjoyed it !
We almost stayed there about a month ago... but we ended up in the Yukon instead. Hahaha.
But I totally think that’s the place to stay. How fun! Orb’s in the sky.
Good stuff
I really want to go to the Yukon! Sounds like we’re on the same wave length.
DownieLive go. You’ll love it
Awesome content as usual Mike. You find the greatest places. Love your channel. 👍👍. The pond one has posts so it can’t roll into the water maybe😀😜🤣. Be safe pal!
Hahaha
Another super visit to an interesting location. And how great it was to see Nicole. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, Zeyev!
Like a balloon hotel...cute...💖 a Fairy Balloon House...💖
Co quit lum is how you say it! It's beautiful 💙 💜 💙 and I love it there up. In the trees!
No, it's in Qualicum, not Coquitlam.
Mike I started watching you r vids because you are handsione. Now I watch cuZ of our content. you have a wonderful channel and thank you!
Thanks and welcome
Michael, when you went to sleep did you sleep well or did you get seasick swinging back-and-forth.
You did it again you found something fun This is totally brilliant. Thank you
I slept very well!
BC rocks! Mike, these places are unreal. The detail on the Orbs was incredible! I think every bathroom should have a pencil sharpener..hehe. This was EXACTLY what I needed to see today. Thanks as always for having me along. PS: I loved the Young & The Restless hair toss by the way!! LOL
Mike, thanks for another great video! It's been a very interesting couple of months...tree houses, boats, buses, caboose hotel rooms, sky trains, owls, and now a hanging orb? Too cool. I like how you close by saying the trip is over and it's back to Vancouver and "normal life." LOL...that's not you Mike. I cannot wait for next week's adventure! Stay safe, Kimba.
Hahaha. Maybe I should do a video on "my normal life" to show you what it really looks like. hahaha
I’m posted in Victoria, originally from Manitoba. I do love BC and will stay here long after I retire. Great videos man!
Very unique and interesting! I think we'd consider giving the Orb a shot. -My husband and I love German food. -Keep up the good work!
After watching this video I have never wanted to visit Canada more and I have always wanted to visit Canada 🇨🇦
When this is all over, you should come!
Great place! The orbs are really neat! How much do they actually move! Thanks for the trip, it is always fun!
Great video hope you had a great visit ❤️❤️
Lived in BC all my 60 yrs and never heard of the Orbs. So very cool Mike. Favourite comment: Real Tree. Thanks!
Great spot! Will have to try that sometime after things settle down and the border opens again.
Oh WOW! I envisioned something like that when I was looky-loo-ing @ houses/retirement spots, and came across a great spot on the coast. Sadly a forced work reassessment period stopped those plans.
Sweet looking setup even with the mushroom shaped outhouse. Thanks for inviting me along!

Oh thanks so much, Tim. I hope you can go experience it as well. All the best!
Looks awesome! Such a unique and adventurous.
You're providing way too many bucket list vacation destinations, that's my only issue lol
Hahaha. Fair enough Craig 😉
Canada is amazing!
Love your shows.
I'm from BC and WA.
😍 Thank you!!! 👍
How interesting and unique! Looks fun for one or two nights. Although not sure how fun it would be in a thunderstorm. Thanks for sharing.
Love your joy, subbed to stay tuned in!!!
That German food looks delicious. I'm loving going back and watching your older videos.
I love Vancouver Island,so priddy, didn't know you could ride a bike over to there now.😉😊
Loved this one brother...such a Lovely vid.. really made our weekend in these tough times. Cheers and stay blessed ❤️
Thanks Grayston. We're all getting through these tough times. Hang in there.
You’re such a down to earth person brother..... Wishing you the best, always... love the video edits...AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great video Michael! I am amazed at the unique places that you have been finding.
Thanks Rob! There are plenty of unique and amazing places out there, you just have to look and sometimes be willing to step out of your comfort zone.
What an amazing place.
In Canada, all those amazing places you stay at they alwayz have real nice gift baskets and snacks, its alwayz well done and so quaint. This was the most unusual and strange sphere place but definitely would try it out, can't knock it, til you try it. What is the circumference of the sphere? Maybe on day he will double up and make a two story and a couple side spheres, then you would be living like a gerbil. This was very impressive, I'm in awe right now, amazing!!!
That would be so cool! Great idea!
Hello from Richmond! I stayed in one of these spheres for my birthday and it was amazing!
Really interesting place, cute and cosy. I'd stay there.
It really is!
Just a cute friendly couple having a good time. :) like it
You are so kind
Oooo fun!! Watching my first video of you guys, I've seen this orb before but have never seen a video for it - subscribed :)
Alright! Welcome, Jackie!
Canada is so gorgeous 😍
I agree. 😄
I’d stay here!
As always amazing video Mike!
Is that German purple cabbage salad probably one of my favorite salads in the entire world German scalloped potatoes close second.
WOW! I want to go there...
Hello Nicole & Mike!! Wonderful video.
Thank you Kate!
Rock-a-bye Michael, in the tree-top ... When the wind blows, the orb will a-rock ...
Yeah, German food.... But our Bratkartoffel are more thinner than in your dinner but also great. And Schnitzel is every time the right time😊 Did you see some animals there? Or which were mentioned in the liability you have signed? Looking forward to your next video. When you can travel again, you need to visit an island in Germany called Helgoland. It is great there.

If this orb's rockin don't come knockin
No secrets in this place!
such a baller !
I just posted this comment 😂
Beautiful hotel I’ll have to check it out!
Awesome dude. I've always wanted to stay there. Qualicum is a cool town.
Kylie and I stayed in the same Orb a few years ago for our 1st anniversary! Was the giant bee hive still hanging above the pond!!!
When we were there they were planning on moving to a new location and producing something like a dozen more, i guess that never went through?
Huh, I guess not?
They are trying to make more Spheres and sell them. 🤷🏼♂️
Great video Mike!
I love the crows on the side of the orb.
You make me 😂 laugh! Thanks for sharing your beautiful travel 🧳
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been to Germany three times ... highly underrated ... love their good food & beer 🍻 !
