The Rayleigh River Retreat is truly an experience as well as a wonderful place to stay. Enjoy a white sandy beach from May to August for suntanning and swimming or a short drive Skiing at Sun Peaks in the winter. Our apartment is situated on our 1 acre property and is totally your space. Enjoy this PRIVATE apartment nestled in a beautiful backyard riverfront oasis. Enjoy the koi pond while relaxing on the patio or stroll down to the river for a beach walk or swim. There are also countless flower and vegetable gardens to enjoy. After your meal enjoy an aperitif beside the pond or fire barrel. The apartment has just been re modelled to ensure your stay is comfortable and memorable.
Sparkling cleaning procedures and sanitation of all surface areas is a must for our suite. We follow Covid cleaning guidelines very strictly to give you peace of mind when staying at our retreat. Fresh linens, duvets, coverlets, towels, blankets always! We also offer cleaning products for our guests to do their own disinfecting if that is what You prefer when you arrive or during your stay.
Guests have access to the entire apartment and immaculate river front property. The apartment itself is the entire bottom floor of our 6000 square foot house which overlooks our 1 acre property. There is a beautiful koi fish pond covered by a stunning gazebo with an outdoor patio area right outside your front door that is surrounded by greenery making it hidden from view and very private. The beautiful private patio area right beside the pond has a gas fire table, private eating table and Webber BBQ for guest use and 2nd sitting area facing the pond. Imagine relaxing beside the pond listening to two waterfalls as you relax beside the fire table and watch the koi fish swim around. The riverfront and vast beach are just steps away down the yard. (From August to May as river is low, in between enjoy the floating dock deck chairs when the water is high) There are many vegetable and flower beds to stroll through and enjoy.
Our skiers love to stay with us as the full kitchen allows for easy cooking after a great day of skiing, our many areas allow for private relaxation or full gatherings to celebrate the great skiing day.
There is a floating dock when the river is high from May to August and a beautiful beach available from August to May, perfect for sunbathing and suntanning.
The recently re modelled kitchen and living room are both tastefully decorated to allow a relaxing time in either room. The living room has an L shaped couch to allow you to relax and watch your favorite show on our 72 inch smart tv with sound bar beside the fireplace or you can look out our our bay window and admire the pond, river and mountain views. The couch is a queen sofa bed with a gel mattress as well for your added comfort.
The newly re modelled kitchen is super cute and has ample space and amenities to allow you to comfortably make your favorite meal with a beautiful view of the pond. My kitchen has all the amenities of home from spices to pots, pans, and dishes so rest assured you can cook to your hearts content.
We are told our COFFEE/TEA BAR is fantastic, Nespresso machine, milk Frother for lattes, French press, fresh coffee beans, tea infuser with a wonderful selection of teas, hot chocolate, chocolates and cookies, beautiful coffee and tea mugs, what more could you ask for and all complimentary.
The main bed room is very spacious with a beautiful queen log bed, fire place and ample space to relax in. It is tastefully decorated to ensure a great nights sleep is had on your Eqyptian Cotten sheets, comfy duvets and pillows. There is a second spacious bedroom with a beautiful sleigh double bed with wonderful bedding as well to ensure your sleep is in the dream zone. All bedding is steam sanitized to ensure your sleep is fresh and restful. The bathroom is beautifully decorated and equipped with big comfy bath towels, hair dryer and beautifully scented shampoo/conditioner and soaps.
My apartment is always being updated to ensure your stay is comfortable and welcoming. It is a space that I would like to stay in or members of my family The most common comment I hear is "We wish we could have stayed longer!", on that note I do hope your stay with us, we would love to have you as our guest !
