Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo reset or a small group escape Rocky Creek Retreat offers a truly immersive West Coast experience🌿
Welcome to Rocky Creek Retreat, a peaceful 1,000 sq ft private, self-contained lower-level suite set within a forested property with soothing creek views and sounds.
The suite is accessed by a private staircase and has its own dedicated entrance. While we live upstairs, the space is fully separate, and we respect your privacy completely—always happy to help if needed, and otherwise leaving you to enjoy your stay uninterrupted.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, open layout enhanced by 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the surrounding forest right inside. The suite features a luxury king-size bed, a full bathroom stocked with Seaflora shower products (a locally made, ocean-crafted skincare line from Vancouver Island), and a fully equipped kitchen ideal for longer stays or relaxed evenings in.
The living area also includes a pull-out sofa with an added memory foam topper, ensuring comfortable sleeping for up to four guests. 🌿
Outdoor Experience 🌲
Step outside onto your private deck, furnished with a BBQ, cozy patio seating, and a propane fire pit, and let the sounds of the forest and creek slow everything down.
After a day of surfing or hiking the West Coast, slip into the outdoor barrel sauna tucked into the woods—an 8-person sauna that gives up to four guests plenty of space to stretch out, breathe deep, and fully unwind. Between sauna sessions, refresh beneath the copper rain shower mounted against a tree, offering a natural cold plunge experience surrounded by forest. End the evening gathered fireside under the stars.
