Scenic Off-Grid Camp + Sauna/Plunge
It's a real off-grid homestead
This is a real off-grid homestead, with people working and living on the property.
First, the good stuff:
The guy who showed us around was really nice. He took us around and showed us the property and areas we may like to hike.
He lit the wood burning sauna for us and the sauna was great! We were the only guests so it was nice to have the evening with the sauna and cold plunges.
There are many spots to choose to camp and you can't see anyone else around, which we loved.
There were two kittens living on the property and they were so cute and cuddly.
There is a baby loving on the property so that was cute.
The not as good:
What I wasn't as big a fan of was the sound of generators running for much of the day and all through the night, as well as the large dogs barking throughout the day and night. Also, while the dogs didn't do anything negative towards me, they growled and barked at me at times, so if you're even a little timid around dogs, I wouldn't recommend this place. Also, two men began loudly working before 7 am and it woke me up.
Another strange thing was how public the spa/sauna area was to the main living area of the property. The shower is in full view of the communal area and you can see those using that space and they can see you. It would be nice if there was an enclosure of any kind around the shower.
If you're someone considering what communal off grid living is like, I recommend this place. If you're hoping for a quiet retreat, I'd say look elsewhere.

AMAZING Off-grid Retreat!
What an unforgettable experience! The journey to the property was smooth, with clear directions that made our arrival easy. We were warmly greeted by one of the hosts, Carson, who went above and beyond to give us a detailed tour of the entire property and explain how to use all the amenities. He even guided us to choose the perfect spot to set up camp. We arrived just before sunset, and Carson took my partner, our friends, and me to a breathtaking viewpoint to watch the sunset—a truly stunning moment that set the tone for our stay.
The facilities were nothing short of exceptional. The saunas and cold plunge were a perfect touch for an off-grid retreat, with two beautiful locations to choose from and a charming outdoor shower. The communal kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to cook a large dinner for our group with ease. We were also grateful for the fast, free Wi-Fi, which kept us connected when needed.
The friendly dog and cat on the property added to the charm, making us feel even more at home. Carson, Luke, and their family, who care for the land, were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had an amazing experience. We can't wait to return and see the future plans for this incredible property come to life. A huge thank you to everyone for making our stay so memorable—this place is truly one of a kind!

My wife and I had an amazing time at Azhen Sanctuary! I can't say enough about how accommodating they were. When we arrived, Carson gave us a tour of the property and did a great job explaining how everything works. When we picked a spot to camp, we realized our tent was broken and had no way to fix it. Carson was kind enough to lend us a tent, saving us a trip all the way to Osoyoos as it was getting dark. We really appreciated that!
We loved the spa and the entire property. Jaymie and his whole crew are down-to-earth and great people to be around. The place has great vibes and a real community feel. I had a chance to chat with Jaymie, and he shared his vision for the sanctuary and all the hard work they've put into it, along with some cool projects they're working on to make it even more of a Zen haven.
We will be back next year and are already looking forward to it!

Loved camping at Shelby's. Carson was an excellent host with very clear instructions, and also provided a tour of property and amenities.
We arrived on a day with absolutely clear skies, so we got to experience a really beautiful night sky with views of galaxy, constellations and stars.
The shared kitchen is a lovely place to relax and meet new people.
Overall we had a great time. Looking forward to come again. :)
