About this property
Private creekside retreat with sauna, fire pit & rain shower.
Unplug and unwind in a private creekside forest retreat where comfort meets nature. Tucked among the trees, this self-contained suite features a barrel sauna overlooking the creek, a cozy fire pit and a copper rain shower mounted to a tree perfect for refreshing sauna rinses. All just minutes from Sooke’s beaches, trails and local dining.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Riley-Sue
Hi! We’re Riley-Sue and Nick, and we feel so lucky to call Sooke home. We’re both passionate about the outdoors and spend as much time as we can exploring the beaches, forest trails, and wild coastline this area is known for.
Hosting truly means a lot to us. We’ve created Rocky Creek Retreat to be the kind of place we’d want to stay ourselves — cozy, peaceful, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you’re here for adventure or total relaxation, our goal is for you to feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease during your stay.

Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it perfectly captures the magic of Sooke — quiet, forested, and close to everything. You’re surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from beaches, hiking trails, local cafés, and restaurants.
We love that you can start your morning with coffee by the creek, spend the afternoon exploring the coastline or rainforest, and end the evening under the stars. It offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and easy access to adventure.
