**Welcome to Salt & Spruce Retreat – Your Cozy Forest Hideaway with Ocean Views**

Looking for a getaway that feels like a world away but still lets you grab a latte in civilization when needed? Welcome to **Salt & Spruce Retreat**, where the forest meets the sea, and relaxation meets adventure. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck while watching the waves or setting off on the Galloping Goose Trail for a hike, you’ll quickly realize why this place is a little slice of paradise.
Want to go Sports fishing? we can help with that too! you wont even have to jump into a car - you will jump directly into a boat!

This isn’t just a cabin in the woods—it’s your **home away from home with better views**. Inside, you’ll find **three comfy bedrooms**, with two queen beds and a bunk bed that’s perfect for kids or those who like a little nostalgia (dibs on top bunk!). There’s also a loft with a desk, in case you need to pretend you’re working before getting back to vacation mode. **Two full bathrooms** mean no fighting over mirror time, and a **washer and dryer** lets you pack light.

The fully equipped **kitchen is ready for whatever culinary masterpiece (or takeout spread) you have in mind**. The open-concept living space is flooded with natural light, making it the perfect spot to kick back with a book, a board game, or a well-earned afternoon nap.

Step outside, and the adventure begins! The **famous Galloping Goose Trail** is literally at your doorstep, leading you to incredible hikes, scenic bike rides, and secret local gems. **Beaches, cafes, pubs, brewries and quirky little shops** are just a short drive away. And if you’re craving a bit of city action, **Victoria is only 30 minutes away**—close enough for a day trip, far enough that you won’t hear any traffic (unless you count birds and the occasional curious deer).

We are a **family that lives on the property**, several hundred yards away. While you’ll have complete privacy, we’re nearby if you need anything—or just want to say hello!

**Salt & Spruce Retreat is a place where ocean air meets towering trees, and stress just doesn’t exist.** Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family adventure, or just some much-needed time to do absolutely nothing, we’ve got you covered.

Lovely rustic cabin with ocean views

A beautiful location. The driveway is tricky to find the 1st time but the host provided good instructions. The bed in the master bedroom is f8rm. The other beds are softer.

Perfect in Every Way

The property is in the perfect location for those who want to explore beautiful Sooke wilderness. My granddaughter, daughter & I biked to Sooke from Vancouver. The house is right on the Galloping Goose Trail. We enjoyed the fact that we had 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and that there was a wood burning stove and a well equipped kitchen. We will recommend your place to our friends and hope to return for another visit. The hosts are super nice as well.

Family Visit

I stayed here with my parents (70’s) and niece (22). My niece lives in Vancouver so this was a family visit to Vancouver Island to see her. We wanted to stay somewhere a little more quiet and secluded, not in Victoria. The location was perfect for us. Just outside the town of Sooke with easy access for shops and restaurants. And close to a lot of parks for hiking. It was also just a 45 minute drive to Victoria and Butchart Gardens, both of which we wanted to visit. The cottage was perfect for us. We each had our own bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, we made breakfast each day and grilled local fish one night. The deck was great, we had happy hour out there and enjoyed the view! And the best bonus was there’s a path for walking literally out the back door.If you want something a little more nature focused and out of the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a perfect place to stay!!

Great cabin for two couples!

Our group (two couples) really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Check-in and communication with Cindy was a breeze. The cabin was comfortable for four adults, with two bathrooms and enough space to comfortably hang out in the living room together. The kitchen had basic equipment for cooking and a few essential pantry items like salt and oil. The view through the woods out to the water was beautiful. The hosts live on the property but we never bumped into each other. Location is great for exploring Sooke or any of the nearby parks, and the property is right on the Galloping Goose Trail. One downside to mention is the beds. The upstairs queen was extremely firm; as a back sleeper I didn't mind, but my partner is a side-sleeper and struggled to sleep the first night. He ended up sleeping in the bunk bed room for the rest of our stay, which he said was much more comfortable. Our friends stayed downstairs on the softer mattress, which they described as so soft it was almost concave and pushed them both into the middle of the bed. Some people might like that, but our friends weren't big fans! Just something to be aware of. We would all still happily stay here again and recommend it to others!
