Jan Stevens was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She studied art and Interior Design at the University of Washington. In 1982 she moved to Henderson, Nevada where she designed one-of-a-kind interiors for hundreds of clients. Over 13 years ago, when her son was an infant, she established Jan Stevens Design and began her successful design business while working out of her house and being “Mom” at the same time. Jan has designed stylish, comfortable and gorgeous interiors for over 30 years. Jan’s creativity and organizational skills has lead her to other entrepreneurial endeavors such as fundraising, graphic design, writing, and photography, as well as managing the Lazy Bowen Hideaway as a vacation rental. Over the last 10 years, following her passion for Bowen’s natural beauty, Jan began photographing the island sunsets, landscapes, and flora. Starting as a hobby the photographs were given as gifts to friends and neighbors as calendars and note cards. With the encouragement of a good friend, Jan has just recently signed, framed and displayed some of her best work at the Lazy Bowen Hideaway. All of Jan’s Bowen Island photography is available for sale. With all of Jan’s relatives being Canadian and living in the Vancouver area Jan’s frequent visits to her Bowen Island home makes staying in touch with family easy. The goal in the near future is to spend equal time between the sunny Southwest and the temperate rain forest of Bowen Island. This would be the best of both worlds.
UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 2013 ~ I am proud to say that I am now a dual citizen, US and Canadian, retroactive back to my date of birth in 1955.
Jan Stevens purchased this studio in 2004
Our Bowen Island cabin has been in the Stevens family since 1954. When our Aunt passed we became the 2nd generation to own and care for this beautiful waterfront property. We have over 50 years of irreplaceable childhood memories of family time at the cabin: playing cards, board games, and swimming all day and night. It only makes sense to share this special property with other families that will appreciate the many special qualities of Bowen Island: slow pace, safe environment, and spectacular waterfront setting among a few. We are thrilled to be creating new family memories for our son and hope the Lazy Bowen Hideaway can be a part of your family history too.
Waterfront…Spectacular View…1 minute to the Beach… Complete & Efficient Kitchen…Summertime Boat Dock…Comfortable Furnishings…Professionally Designed…Bright & Sunny…All this for a Very Reasonable Rate…What could be better than the Lazy B Petite Suite?
An Inviting WATERFRONT suite with a SPECTACULAR VIEW: nestled among fir, cedar, laburnum, and ancient arbutus trees. We are surrounded by nature from the deer grazing in the yard to porpoises playing in the water. It is truly another world.
Being only 1 MINUTE FROM THE BEACH makes us the envy of Eagle Cliff. No one is closer.
Our kitchen is a completely equipped FULL SIZE KITCHEN. Other properties of our size might have kitchenettes but we have full size appliances. It has all the conveniences of home for preparing your “home cooked meals.“
We are only 8 minutes from the many restaurants in Snug Cove. Dine at Mik.sa and receive 10% off when you mention the Lazy Bowen Hideaway.
Spa services are available on site. Schedule a Massage, Pedicure, Manicure, Facial or other relaxation /esthetic services without driving a mile. Our professional masseuse and esthetician will arrive at the Petite Suite and provide your requested spa services anywhere on the property.
Planning your trip to Bowen Island is easy with our “Welcome Packet” that is inclusive of all things Bowen. Like an email travel agent the packet will provide you with ferry schedules, grocery shopping suggestions, dining recommendations with reviews, and activities from kayaking to yoga. Our Welcome Packet is the best on Bowen.
As a PROFESSIONAL INTERIOR DESIGNER my priority was to create an Always Sunny and Comfortable Suite. The space was recently updated and furnished with ALL NEW FURNISHINGS, not Grandmas hand-me-downs. The color palette is fun, fresh, and bold, a
pleasant change of pace.
Stay with us so you can discover first hand why the Lazy B Petite Suite is SPECIAL!!! WE LOVE IT and we think you will too!
We rented both the main house (Lazy Bowen Hideaway) and the downstairs suite (Lazy B Petite Suite) for our family vacation. It worked out perfectly. Lots of time for the grandparents to sit on the deck, relaxing and reading. The rest of the family paddled our kayaks around the bay, went swimming and hiking. Delightful in every way.

Here we are months later, and we still long for the tranquility that we found so abundantly at the Lazy B Hideaway. To wake up with the sea at your feet, it was like time stood still. We had a wonderful time and will always remember our stay. As I'm sure it's been mentioned, the warnings about the driveway are legitimate and you should heed them. We had a mid size 4 wheel drive and at times had difficulty navigating the very steep and winding road to the Hideaway. Island/coast life has it's benefits and sometimes, drawbacks. But obviously it can be done, so as long as you're prepared you'll be fine. This is the only reason for the 4 star review. Everything else was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Thanks again for the treasured memories!
Awesome view and all you need and more in the suite for a comfortable stay!
Jan's place is exactly as pictured. It is very clean, comfortable, has everything you would need, and the view is amazing! It was quite a hike to get back to the main road or to the house, but it's worth it.
The Bowen Hideaway is excellent. Great breathtaking view, beach steps away, all the imenities for a relaxing stay.
Pack light for the hike down the hill to the suite or bring a 4wheel drive vehicle.
Good visit had by all three of us on our women's getaway.
Would come back for sure.
Ly
the Lazy bowen hideaway is the perfect place to relax, gorgeous view day or night with the full moon. Jan has set everything up so impeccably, its all set up to relax completely and be renewed. Thank you Jan. this is our 2nd stay and we hope to be back
We arrived tired and weary and left rested and refreshed! Beautiful suite, scenery and sounds of waves greeted us each day. Warnings about the road are accurate, extremely steep and difficult to navigate. As mentioned by the owner, a smaller 4 wheel drive is preferred. Our Highlander was a bit big but we conquered! Absolutely stunning!

ask for details.
You might like to know.................
We start our base rate at double occupancy because 60% of our guests are couples. We want couples to pay a fair nightly rate for their stay. We then add for additional guests to compensate for the additional amenity, water, power, and cleaning required.
You might like to know..............
Our additional guest rate includes adults and children. With the exception of infants that are not yet walking, we do charge for all guests including children. Unlike hotel rooms we have many nooks and crannies, glass, and objects that require deep cleaning like a real home. Our house keepers do an excellent job of cleaning after each turnover and this all takes additional time with additional guests. Plus all guests use bedding, water, towels, and other amenities.
* Approximate monthly rate. Â Actual rate will depend on the days of the month you stay.
