Soule Creek Lodge

Lovely secluded spot with spectacular views. A truly authentic experience with owners that cultivate comfort and uniqueness. The internet was a little spotty during our stay - which was just fine but just be prepared! I’m sure it’ll be sorted out soon.

Words fail to describe how special this place is!We (1 adult and 2 kiddos) stayed in the Qaliyit yurt (Salish Sea), which is nicely secluded and offers incredible views.Spacious and cozy. Loved the dome top for star gazing. Even during a heat wave, it was nice and cool at night.With Covid restrictions in place, a delicious hot picnic breakfast was provided in lovely baskets. Food was delicious.Get ready for a bumpy drive up the hill - but it’s worth it!

It was such a unique experience staying in Yurt. It is very clean and spacious. Staff is super friendly. The view is phenomenal. Staff went for extramiles to make our stay comfortable. We can’t thank you enough for their effort. Highly recommended.

Wanted to love it, not as advertisedThere is no internet at the yurts. They are still on the Starlink wait list. It does work while in the lodge.Our yurt wasn’t heated! We assumed the fireplace was also a heater but it’s for looks only. Asked where the heat was the next day after freezing so bad we had to go fetch other blankets of our own to be able to sleep. Apparently there should have been a heater. They found us an oil heater for the next night. We were not offered any compensation for this.Carmanah hut is very poorly designed - If you are tall you will have to sit sideways on the toilet for your knees to fit. There is no way to open/close the clear plastic window covering over the screens from inside the yurt - there is also no way to hold the clear plastic part up and we had to jam it under the other covering. The shower temperature can only be adjusted from outside the shower. Doors are also push button locks and not very secure.All the water smells and tastes strongly of chlorine. They give 2 small bottles of water (total per stay) to make coffee/tea in room or brush teeth.They gave us robes for the hot tub which were comically small and fit neither of us (who normally wear small and medium size tops).Food was really good, though their timing on busy days was not and a lot of it was cold.Overall it was a nice area and the staff were nice, if disorganized.

Beautiful site and hosts. Yurts were clean and beds were comfy for our family of 4, including 2 teenage boys. Food is delicious! It was cold and rainy when we were there and they shared their collection of board games with us, complete with a bowl of Oreos & chips ahoy! Claude went out of his way to give us good info to make the most of our time there. 4 stars instead of 5 because a storm took out the power & water, but the Soule Creek team still kept us smiling!

This is seriously the BEST place to take a relaxing vacation! My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 days in one of their newly renovated yurts and it was simply the best trip we have been on.Everyone who works there were warm and welcoming, and had recommendations for where we should go hiking, swimming, etc to tell us every time we saw them!The chef is amazing, and we stayed for the three course dinner our last night. The food was delicious and they were very careful to make sure they made everything according to my dietary restrictions.I saw another comment about the dog they have on site- personally my boyfriend and I loved the dog! He did growl at us once but once he realized we were staying there he would put his head down and wag his tail! He was a true protector of the lodge! :)Overall 10/10 I would recommend Soule Creek Lodge if you want a comfortable, somewhat upscale backdrop to your outdoor adventure! Beautiful, welcoming and fun!I plan on bringing my whole family back here soon!

What an awesome place to bring people from out of town. We had spectacular views and warm home cooked meal to start each day! Claude made a yummy frittata with salsa and potatoes the first day and delicious waffles and bacon for day two. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

I was very excited to stay here, having wanted to for quite awhile. Prior to going I saw reviews and am glad I did so my expectations were not as high.Our yurt was clean, but with almost no view (not what was advertised). I do wish that scented washing soap or the like was not used on the sheets etc. because I found the aroma quite overpowering.In general our stay was fine, but I think the care for it has slipped a bit. Breakfasts were fine, but not always warm or what one would expect from the website (some scrambled eggs, a bit if fruit, and a carb).The water was a bit brown, similar to what I have experienced with wells that have had a large amount of input from rain runoff. We were glad we had brought water. The fridge is quite small and the tiny freezer portion was completely iced up.I think the service industry is just burnt out, so I don’t know a solution here. I think that Soule Creek could be great, but is not so at the moment.

Amazing! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!Location: 10/10Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, top of a small mountain.Views: 10/10Views to Port San Juan and the rest of the area was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for more.Price: 9/10I’m from the mainland, so prices seemed a bit steep but after this experience I’m totally down going back!If you’re a couple trying to have some quality time with each other, this is the perfect plqce!Away from technology and distractionsBotanical beach nearby
