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!!!!
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.
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 ❤️
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😉
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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'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!
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 th-cam.com/video/S1DQ8hjR71U/w-d-xo.html
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!
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
Great place to stay... but I dunno if I want to walk to the toilet at night from the treehouse 🤣.... there might be too many creepy crawlies around 🕸️🕷️🐍 🤪😉🤣
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 usually don't binge watch stuff on TH-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!
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 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.
WOW your friend has the most beautiful eyelashes, oh Nicole, nice to to meet you Nicole ,you have gorgeous eyelashes which serve to highlight your beautiful eyes. I am usually very retiscent to comment on peoples physical features on you tube because it can come across sort of .....well creepy ......I am a new subscriber to the channel and am really enjoying it, Like i said nice to meet you Nicole and I look forward to meeting you in future Videos of Mike's , I hope , Cheers from Down Under. Until next time cheerio ......
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.
So are you German food converts? South Australia has a long history of many popular German family owed and operated companys that are in the Australian Food Hall of fame. No it doesn't exist but it should.
I didn't know you had a girlfriend. Are you still together? I've only discovered your channel a week or two ago. This is the first video I saw with her.
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!
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
Just found your videos last week Jan 20.2022

From videos and other content on TH-cam Canada is an Oasis of beauty
Agreed!
That it is my friend
@@DownieLive suppppppppppp
Indeed, Canada is
So, Mike, are you saying, "Don't come a knocking, if our orb is a rockin''"?
Exactly.
@@DownieLive Nicole? Just wondering!
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 ❤️
Is that German purple cabbage salad probably one of my favorite salads in the entire world German scalloped potatoes close second.
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😉
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
If this orb's rockin don't come knockin
No secrets in this place!

I just posted this comment 😂
Fun to see you with your girlfriend❣️ that sphere looks like loads of fun💖💖💖💖
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.
They’re great!
That was awesome Mike. Thank you you both. Really enjoyed that.
Our pleasure!
I live on the island and it is just beautiful!
That was great Mike & Nicole! I have good friends who live in Qualicum. I definitely want to stay in the Melody Sphere one day.
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.
You should!

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.
You always find the most unique places to show us. BC is definitely an incredible destination! Wherever you go next, we'll be there with you!
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.
Lucky ducks! My sons would love this adventure with this blessed Mom!!
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
Yet another awesome place that I must stay in someday. Thanks for sharing and much love
Any time!
Canada is so gorgeous 😍
I agree. 😄
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!
I’d stay here!
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!

Amazing! Thank YOU!
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
Very very cool! Looks so peaceful.
It really is!
Great place to stay... but I dunno if I want to walk to the toilet at night from the treehouse 🤣.... there might be too many creepy crawlies around 🕸️🕷️🐍 🤪😉🤣
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.
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.
Oh great, Harry! Thanks!
I usually don't binge watch stuff on TH-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!
Glad you like them!
When the tide is out you can walk for miles on nothing but sand at Qualicum Beach.
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.
The spheres are so cool looking it would be cool to stay there !
Awesome video... really enjoyed it !
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!
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 would love to experience and evening inside an orb. Great vlog 👍🏼
You should! Thanks Lawrence!
Wow 🤩 ... no more international travel until I explore more of home! This place is absolutely amazing!
Great place! The orbs are really neat! How much do they actually move! Thanks for the trip, it is always fun!
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
Rock-a-bye Michael, in the tree-top ... When the wind blows, the orb will a-rock ...
That German food looks delicious. I'm loving going back and watching your older videos.
SUGGESTION - call up Mike Richards ( retired NHL hockey player) and ask him to take you on a tour of LAKE OF THE WOODS at Kenora ON.
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.
WOW your friend has the most beautiful eyelashes, oh Nicole, nice to to meet you Nicole ,you have gorgeous eyelashes which serve to highlight your beautiful eyes. I am usually very retiscent to comment on peoples physical features on you tube because it can come across sort of .....well creepy ......I am a new subscriber to the channel and am really enjoying it, Like i said nice to meet you Nicole and I look forward to meeting you in future Videos of Mike's , I hope , Cheers from Down Under.

Like ♥️♥️

So are you German food converts? South Australia has a long history of many popular German family owed and operated companys that are in the Australian Food Hall of fame. No it doesn't exist but it should.
That toilet needs a little one way window so tou can see the view while you........well you know......take care of business.......
A 2nd sitting spot, so you could have a 2nd breakfast? Or Elevensees?
It’s nice to see Nichole in your vlog. I hope you both enjoyed your stay. The German food looks so yummy!
During the pandemic in my country it was impossible to tour around for almost 1 year!! Too bad. Argentina
I didn't know you had a girlfriend. Are you still together? I've only discovered your channel a week or two ago. This is the first video I saw with her.
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Like a balloon hotel...cute...💖 a Fairy Balloon House...💖
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
Who knew there was so much in Canada? It's more than just trees and Gordon Lightfoot.
Okay kiddo grandma granny wants to see you shaking your head like that when you're 50 LOL
My corner of the world is in this video!! Haha. I live just outside Qualicum
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
You and Nicole be careful out there in those woods. The king of the forest lives on that island and may try to move that ball
German food is really good, I was shocked too. Very hearty, good meat!
Awesome. Wondering why the spheres have just feminine names ??
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!
This is fantastic!!! Sweet guys!
Amazing videos love from India, there is a channel in the name of one world one ride they are the Indian bike riders did the world trip on there bikes
Love your shows.
I'm from BC and WA.
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 😉
Wait so your standing making your dinner and some naked dude walks out the sauna?😅
Wow, I loved it! Must be an incredible experience!
THANKS FOR SHARING. MUCH APPREACIATED.
🤩 11:44
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!
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
There is an airbnb in sawyer Michigan that is on a working llama farm
Really interesting place, cute and cosy. I'd stay there.
It really is!
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.
Oh thanks so much, Tim. I hope you can go experience it as well. All the best!
Awesome video Mike. BC is definitely on my Bucket List. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
So Nicole is your girlfriend ah?... good to know! lol
wow that's beautiful.
those look so fun!
What an amazing place.
OMGosh! Looks fabulous! Ty for sharing our awesome beautiful BC!
My pleasure Corinne!
Don't come knocking if the sphere is a rocking.
Downy live discover new foods on his home island.
What lake was that Mike? Great video! Staying there is definitely on my bucket list!
It was Spider Lake Provincial Lake.
Great video hope you had a great visit ❤️❤️
Canada is amazing!
You kinda look like Chas from Dhar Mann.
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!
