About this house rental





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’re on the edge of the suburbs, on top of a mountain, overlooking a small lake, with Washington State visible and the ocean 3kms away.

We have a suite available on our 1 acre property with:
- a private living room,
- bedroom with Queen size bed
- Your own private balcony overlooking the lake and hills
- your own private entrance
- a kitchenette and private bathroom with shower.

One additional guest can be accommodated on the memory foam full size sofa bed in the living room.

Note: Our Giant Dogs

We are dog-friendly! And we have two giant friendly Bernese Mountain dogs that love guests. If anyone in your party is uneasy around large loud dogs, please see the information further in the listing before booking.

Bringing your Dog
Just include that you’re travelling with a dog in your request. There’s no additional fee for your first dog and $20 if you wish to bring two. Please check the conditions for breed, size, etc further in the listing.
There is a private wild 15x15’ fenced area down at the suite for your pet to use.

The Suite

The kitchenette includes our own freshly roasted coffee, assorted midnight snacks, teas, milk and bottled water in the fridge/freezer. A countertop convection oven/toaster and microwave are also included.

The location is conveniently close to amenities, dozens of restaurants, Lookout Lake Park, Olympic View Golf course, hiking, Galloping Goose Trail, and about 8 minutes from the ocean with many off-leash beaches.

Our Dogs are very friendly!
We share our home with two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Sophie and Teesha. They are very friendly, people-loving dogs and will be very excited to greet new guests. Give them a couple of minutes to quieten down when we come out to meet you on arrival.

The suite was clean, spacious bedroom and living room, nicely decorated, very comfortable. Perfect bedding! Enjoyed sitting on the deck among the trees taking in the fabulous view. Enjoyed coffee made with freshly roasted beans - by host! The host was lovely and personable. I will for sure stay here again.
