Smoky Mountain Retreat-Peaceful & Private Stay
Smoky Mountain Retreat is a rural escape hidden away in a quiet corner of Metchosin. Pour your morning coffee, make your way onto the expansive patio and be greeted by the panoramic views of sprawling green forests, the Pacific Ocean and the snow capped Olympic Mountains as you relax & rejuvenate in the new outdoor hydrotherapeutic hot tub.
This exquisite new home was built by the owner with the mindset of being as environmentally conscious and complimentary to the natural surroundings as possible. Spend your days hiking, biking, swimming and exploring, knowing all the comforts of home, including the king-sized bed & fireplace and newly installed outdoor hot tub, will be waiting for you after your adventures.
It is important to know before booking that we co-exist with nature and animals in our space. We have two friendly family dogs that live on the property. To add, we run a small bee farm here, Smoky Mountain Apiary (with bees currently off site for the summer) but fresh honey to taste upon your arrival!
The best way to reach us is to txt although usually someone will be home to chat if you have any questions or concerns. **Please do not knock on the interior door or patio glass doors.
Metchosin is a quaint little town that is very much rural country living. Within minutes of your stay there are great hiking trails, ocean and lake beaches, the Galloping Goose trail, and boat/kayak rentals. This sweet little town has a few food establishments, many side-of-the-road farmers stands that sell veggies, eggs, flowers and baked goods. We pride ourselves on being honest, hard-working, community-minded people always willing to help a neighbour.
A personal vehicle is needed to get around Metchosin.
The hot tub on the patio is shared with the owners. We are very respectful and quiet and offer guests their own privacy to relax & enjoy the space without disturbance. Quiet Hours 11pm-7am
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Smoky Mountain retreat. The suite was clean, comfortable, and cozy. Nicky and Rob are great hosts and very prompt. We loved the views at sunrise and sunset, and enjoyed spending time at the patio.
