23 minutes from Victoria, 23 minutes from Sooke, Blue Sky Retreat is a quiet respite and rest for anyone wanting to get the best out of their stay at the southern end of Vancouver Island.
We have a suite available with a private living room, bedroom and private balcony with swing, gravity chairs, BBQ and your own private entrance, a kitchenette and private bathroom with shower. An additional guest can be accommodated on the L-shaped couch in the living room. We provide additional bedding (pillows, duvets, blankets) required.
The kitchenette includes our own freshly roasted and ground coffee, assorted midnight snacks, and bottled water. A countertop convection oven/toaster and microwave are also included.
The front yard has a secluded glade surrounded by Arbutus and pine trees and beautifully lit in the evenings. Guests are welcome to use the BBQ facilities and relax around the fire pit.
The location is conveniently close to amenities, Lookout Lake Park, Olympic View Golf course, hiking, Galloping Goose Trail, and minutes from the ocean with off-leash beaches. Ask us about dog parks, beaches, hiking trails, and local sights to see.
We have two large dogs, our Great Pyrenees, a 'gentle giant' that settles in quickly with new guests, and a playful 3 year old Bernese mountain dog that loves everyone but gets very excited to meet new guests.
We always bring our dogs out to greet you upon first arrival so that they get to meet and know you. Tiko, our polar bear, is a Great Pyrenees, a breed dedicated to watching over his flock - which includes our guests - protecting us from unwanted eagles and Turkey vultures flying overhead in the afternoon, squirrels, and leaves moving or falling without his permission.
Please let us know before arrival if you’re skittish around dogs and we’ll keep them away. They both do not venture downstairs to your area. The suite downstairs has its own door closing it off from the rest of the house so no cats or dogs can stray in. We'd prefer that any guest dogs also not stray outside the suite or outside area.
No one under 24 please.
