Literary community: I need to disappear for two weeks and make a real dent in this next memoir draft. Where are the good BC writer's retreats and/or isolated Gulf Island cabins

I once rented a tiny cabin on Protection Island (off Nanaimo) for a self guided writing retreat. You had to take a water taxi to get there and the only thing to do was a pub (that served very good fish and chips). 100% would recommend
My shabby trailer with a great view in Lillooet!
(I kid but also, seriously, if your comfort level is quite low but your budget is literally $0, gimme a shout.)
I’ve done the cabin isolation a few times! Usually selected by where the best deals are. In winter, the tourist cabins around Ladysmith are often great deals, but Saltspring, Galiano, and areas around the coast including Gibson’s, Sechelt and Powell River often have options. I like Roberts Creek.
