Our Story
In 1980, long before it became the celebrated West Coast escape it is today, Bodega Ridge was a wild and rustic Galiano Island horse ranch owned by Steve Ocsko.
Jesse Keefer first saw its wide-open skies and untamed beauty as a child. The landscape made a lasting impression during his many family trips here from Vancouver, filled with horseback rides and fresh island air.
Only years later, by a stroke of luck and a bit of serendipitous timing, Jesse had the opportunity to purchase the property, not just with the idea of restoring it but also reimagining it.
From Bodega Ridge to Bodega Cove, from Lola to The Pink Geranium, what began as a few island cabins has grown, under Jesse’s careful hand, into a beloved destination for rest, reconnection, and celebration.
“I want people to have an exceptional experience,” Jesse says. “We’ve built a team who really care, who believe in what we’re doing. My wife and I are raising our daughter, Edie, here. We want her to grow up knowing what community means, how food is grown, how it all fits together.”
