Discover the Story Behind Smoky Mountain Retreat

Smoky Mountain Retreat began with a simple vision to create a peaceful haven where guests can reconnect with nature and themselves. Inspired by Vancouver Island's breathtaking landscapes, our retreat embodies a commitment to sustainability, comfort, and authentic experiences.

Sustainability

Community Connection

Wellness focus

Built by Hand, Inspired by Nature

We wanted to create a space that complimented the nature we have all around us, where just sitting outside breathing the fresh air, viewing the Pacific Ocean and Olympic Mountains from the patio is an escape all on its own. Our hope is that you have an experience here that allows you to relax, unwind, and explore our local attractions knowing the comforts of home are waiting for you after your adventures.

Hive to Heart Honey Smoky Mountain Apiary

Wildflower Honey – A Taste of British ColumbiaSourced straight from our Smoky Mountain Apiary, Wildflower Honey is a natural, unpasteurized delight produced in British Columbia. Crafted with care by our hardworking bees, this golden nectar captures the essence of the local wildflowers, offering a rich and pure flavour. Enjoy a jar of nature’s finest, harvested with love from our very own backyard!

Beekeeping began as a passion project for Nicky and has bloomed to become a small local business here in Metchosin. With every stay we gift a jar of sweet local wildflower honey made by our hardworking backyard bees for you to enjoy.

Our Pups

Eddie is the old man of the house. He has difficulty with his eye sight but his hearing works perfectly when there are goodies offered. Most days he can often be found basking in the sunshine and sticking close to his comfy bed.

Tommy is our social butterfly and will be the first to welcome you each morning. This guy loves ear rubs, long walks through the forest, squeaky toys and giving kisses. He would love to join you for a cup of tea on the patio.
