Zoka was very welcoming, the attention to detail in her preparation of the space was next level. There was a bottle of her homemade wine and chocolates in the bed. We were a little upset that we only booked a single night and look forward to returning for a romantic weekend.
Such a pleasure to host and welcome guests from far away! Lovely, easy going, great communicators and left the apartment in clean state. Thank you for choosing DCR for your trip.
Great little place to stay on your trip. Very nice and clean, host was amazing. She left us some beer and put the golf on the tv for us before we arrived (we were on a golf trip). Everything we needed was there for us! Wonderful stay!
Beautiful, comfortable, large private suite with an amazing, caring, and considerate host. I stayed for a month and it felt like home. It's in a nice neighbourhood, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and transit. I can't recommend this property enough. I will definitely stay here again!
I loved the place and the owner what a character.. fun gracious and very friendly.. place was attached to the home but was very private too.. clean cosy and comfortable. everything you needed was there .. including wine.and.chocolate, and im sure if it wasnt Zoka would get it for you.. would definately book again if in the area.
This property has a lot of personality and has a lot of great amenities like kitchen appliances, pool table and shower with jets. The owner Zoka was amazing very helpful during check in and made sure to check in with us during our stay to ensure we didnât need anything. My uncle and I stayed for 3 nights and were very comfortable and all amenities are a short Uber ride away.
Great flat - lovely ambiance and everything was extremely convenient. Zoka was a terrific host. The shower is awesome and there was a back massager chair that I had to fight my kid to use!
Such a cute and cozy getaway. The host is wonderful and so welcoming. Many special touches throughout. Perfectly clean. Everything you could need is available. I'll be back for sure!
Itâs clear Zoka cares about her guests and their comfort. A wonderful property and all the amenities you would need to make for a great stay. Weâll certainly be back!
Zoka was the most amazing host ive had, she was so welcoming and accommodated our every need. My partner and i have a cozy beautiful romantic getaway for the weekend, the place was decorated so beautifully. She made us feel so welcomed. I highly recommend staying here. Will be coming back
From the moment you walk into the Dream Catcher Retreat the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The beautiful large private suite provides everything you could wish for in a home away from home. We visited Thermëa Spa and after a lovely relaxing day we returned to the peaceful ambience of Dream Catcher Retreat. Zoka is a kind amazing host making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely return.
I traveled from Chicago to visit Thermea alone for a long weekend. Turned out it was Thanksgiving in Canada and Zoka made me feel like a part of the family. The space has everything you could possibly need.
The space is so beautiful and wonderfully decorated. The calming and relaxing ambience is outstanding! The pool table is great and very fun! Everything you need is provided here so there is no hassle.The host is so gracious, kind and welcoming and ensured we checked in and out happy and satisfied with our stay! Highly recommended! 10/10
This lovely little space is like walking into your own retreat. Zoka has beautiful touches everywhere that encourage you to relax and renew. The energy is warm and relaxing.
The kitchen has all the gadgets you'd want and the spa-shower is an extra special treat. Definitely encourage you to book here. Meeting Zoka is more than worth it!
I stayed at Zolaâs place for a few nights while in Whitby. While to location was a bit of a walking distance to the downtown area (20 minutes or so), by vehicle it was only about 5min. The area was very quiet.
The apartment is in the basement and had all the features on would need for a great stay. Zola lived upstairs with her family and were barely noticeable.
Overall, I would stay at Zolas place again and would recommend it to others who are looking for a quiet place to stay.
Donovan, you are a charming gentleman. Thank you for your kind review. You are polite and very respectful of our place and left Dream Catcher Retreat in immaculate shape.. Thank you! If the road leads you towards Whitby, I would be happy to host you again.
Highly recommended to other hosts.

The Dream Catcher property is in a great location, it is secure, private, full of warmth, charm, and has an amazing welcoming atmosphere. Clients walk into a lovely common area greeted with an amazing charcuterie board, wine, a fridge well equipped for a day or two for the number of guests. It has a comfortable living area, a fireplace, television, a small pool table, games, books and enough unique art pieces to keep you chatting about for days. The washroom is to die for with an amazing shower and cabinets thoughtfully stocked with a generous assortment of hygiene supplies and necessities that we occasionally forget to pack. It has a lovely main bedroom with robes and slippers for those who plan to spend more than one day. Most importantly, this cozy little oasis is blessed with a beautiful and strong spiritual presence.
Hello and welcome! My name is Zoka, and I am thrilled to be part of the VRBO community! My husband and I believe that the best way to enrich the lives of travelers seeking a home away from home is by providing them with a truly exceptional one.
Weâve been married for 33 wonderful years and are blessed with three amazing childrenâand our adventurous cat, Milo, who keeps us endlessly entertained. As avid travelers, we cherish exploring the world, experiencing diverse cultures, and meeting incredible people. Our journeys inspired us to become VRBO/Expedia hosts, and we recently launched the Dream Catcher Retreat, a space that we are so proud and grateful to share with you. From thoughtful details to ensure your comfort to creating an atmosphere that feels private, elegant, and stress-free, weâve designed every corner of this retreat with your relaxation in mind.
We believe in being a little different as hosts, offering a space that fosters tranquility and leaves you feeling refreshed and inspired. Itâs our mission to make your stay as effortless and enjoyable as possible.
Welcome to the Dream Catcher Retreatâwe canât wait to host you!
I have a deep and true love for our home. When my husband and I first saw it, it was just a rental and in terrible shape. But the moment I stepped inside, time seemed to slow down. It felt like a movie playing in my mindâI saw our future unfold right there. I pictured our kids, little at the time, chasing each other and laughing. Then, in the next scene, they were grown, coming home from college, filling us with pride. And finally, I saw my husband and me as grandparents, joyfully running after grandkids from one room to another. It all happened in an instant, but I felt it so deeply in my heart. When I looked into my husbandâs eyes, he knew exactly what I felt. This was the one. This was our homeâour familyâs future.
It took us years to renovate and make this house everything we dreamed of. Every stone, sink, light fixture, and detail was chosen and placed with love. Now, itâs our dream homeâa place full of laughter, good food, music, and memories.
Hosting has always been part of who I am. It brings me joy to make others feel happy and at home. So, when we decided to join the VRBO community, it felt like a natural extension of what we love to do.
Today, weâre excited to open our home to you. This is just a glimpse of our storyâa dream come true. If youâd like to know more about us, weâd be honored to welcome you to our space.
The name Dream Catcher Retreat was inspired by a very special moment in our lives. In September 2018, my husband and I renewed our vows on our 25th wedding anniversary. The celebration was held in our backyard, and the theme was âDream Catchers.â Dream catchers, a symbol of unity and protection in Native American culture, were at the heart of the celebration. Dozens of handmade dream catchers adorned our backyard, swaying gently in the summer breeze and catching the sunlight. Their presence filled the space with warmth and meaning.
We believed then, as we do now, that dream catchers have the power to transform. Negative energy can pass through them, be filtered, and emerge as light, hope, and love. At the end of our celebration, each guest left with a dream catcher as a giftâa token of our gratitude, love, and protection.
This sentiment is what we carry into the Dream Catcher Retreat. Our hope is that every guest who arrives feeling worried, stressed, or overwhelmed will leave feeling renewed, recharged, and full of hope and love.
The suite is designed to provide a private, spa-like experience, equipped with everything you need for a peaceful and worry-free stay. At Dream Catcher Retreat, your comfort and relaxation are our top priorities.
