Vacation Rental Benefits

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Squamish Retreat provides what a hotel, motel or a hostel can’t which are creature comforts like:

  • A scenic deck, so you can sip your coffee or tea while reading a book from our library in peace. The only noise you will really hear is the sound of nature. Don’t know what that sounds like? Well you have to hear it to experience it.
  • Our full kitchen provides all the tools to make a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner. This actually saves money in the end instead of going out spending the money on transport to and from a restaurant, paying for drinks, the meal as well as a tip. Why not make a nice home cooked meal and enjoy the company?
  • Privacy is never an issue, you’ll rest well knowing that you’re in a quiet home instead of a single room with noisy neighbors.
  • Can beat the location, as you are just minutes away from sightseeing spots, golf courses, restaurants, and shopping.
  • We provide access to a number of personal services like massage, cleaning and in-home chefs.

Here are the true benefits of a retreat:

  • Space for you or family to have fun, indoors and out
  • Creating memories of a truly comforting, one-of-a-kind holiday experience
  • Time for yourself and family to kick back and relax

New Year Means End of Renovations

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

During mid fall of last year the renovations started on the kitchen and floor. We worked so hard on laying down new old growth fir floors throughout the whole house. Originally we planned to lay them only in the bedrooms. The reason for this change of heart was the discovery that each board had such unique grain character. We fell in love with them and decided to showcase them.

We also redid the kitchen layout. Originally we had a very small nook of a kitchen and a lot of room for a dinning area that we never used. We switched the two layouts around and created a cozy eating nook were the old kitchen was. It makes everything fit so well.

And last but not least we have radiant heating getting installed so that the floors will be toasty and warm on the feet.

This year, we hope to have more people visiting Squamish and exploring the community. Especially diving into the recreational activities that Squamish has to offer.
