Go“Glamping” at Nature Space Eco Resort
Autumn is a time of transition, and lots of change is happening on the eastern end of PEI. Down a quiet road near Morell, something magical is beginning to take shape.
116 of that right now! These have been challenging times. Now, more than ever, we’re learning how important it is to take care of ourselves and each other.” Jarrod’s partner Heather, a registered yoga teacher and certified mindfulness instructor, adds, “Personal wellness will be a major focus, and we all need more www.pei-living.ca WINTER 2020 N ature Space Eco Resort and Retreat Centre was a dream of Heather and Jarrod Gunn McQuillan’s for more than a decade. Their vision matured over time; however, their initial objective to create a tourism business based on experiences in nature has never changed. That vision’s about to turn into a reality. “Mongolian yurts will arrive at Nature Space late this fall and completely transform this property,” Jarrod Gunn McQuillan says. “We’re so excited to offer year-round glamping rooted in nature and culinary experiences.”

In addition to Nature Space’s four Mongolian glamping yurts, the resort will feature a 30-foot event yurt—the perfect venue for unique yoga classes, wellness retreats, and events like small weddings. “We hope to offer this venue for the community to come together, once that’s safe again. We’d love to host music events featuring local talent,” Heather says. “Music has been a huge part of my life. I’m a trained opera singer, and I play piano and guitar. Going to live music really heals the soul; when we lost our local venue this past summer, we felt its absence.
We’re hoping that, in some small way, this helps bring music back to the community.” “The yurts are pretty amazing,” says Jarrod. “They’re like staying in a work of art. Hand-painted in vibrant colours with intricate patterns, and furnished with reclaimed-wood furniture from old barns and buildings from PEI, they have a rustic-but-luxurious feeling. Add a woodburning fireplace, personal hot tub, and deck overlooking your own private natural space, and you’re in paradise! We know most people can’t travel this coming year and will be looking for long-weekend getaways.
