About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A quiet, private suite overlooking a quaint lake

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 one large dog, a playful 6 year old Bernese mountain dog that loves everyone but gets momentarily very excited to meet new guests.

We always bring her out to greet you upon first arrival so that she gets to meet and know you.

Please let us know before arrival if you’re skittish around dogs and we’ll keep her away. 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.

In Appreciation of the Personal Touch
We appreciated that Doug personally taking us on a tour of their property and VRBO suite, even showing us how to use a few things and letting us know that we can reach out if we needed anything. Their roasted coffee was also a great touch and welcome on our early mornings. Their dogs were lovely with our dog, and it's always great to be in the company of others who appreciate our canine friends. Thanks for a great stay!
