Soule Creek Adventure Lodge is an expression of Pacheedaht First Nation culture – fully owned and operated by the nation.

We invite you to join us for an all-inclusive adventure and cultural retreat of two or more nights.

During your time with us you will retreat from our busy world to a serene location perched on the San Juan Ridge, within our ancestral lands on the farthest southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Each day, you will feed your soul with adventures, wellness classes, and cultural experiences led by members of the Pacheedaht First Nation, returning to the lodge for a communal three-course dinner rich in local ingredients and traditional foods.

In the evening, you will retire to a comfortable yurt or cabin, or in one of our guest rooms in the lodge. In the mornings, you can sip great coffee or smoothies on your private deck, or in the lodge’s great room – all overlooking stunning vistas of ocean and forest.

Every retreat is unique. Some are adventure-forward. Others, a focus on mindfulness and wellness. You might take a yoga class on the beach in the early morning, experience a class from a traditional wellness practitioner, or enjoy a salmon bake in the evening. You might take a walking tour of old growth forests and culturally-modified trees, and learn about our traditional uses for cedar and medicinal plants. You might paddle down the Jordan River in a kayak or a large canoe made from a single cedar log in our traditional ways, designed for long-distance travel and whale hunting. You might spend an evening listening to a knowledge-keeper or storyteller from our community.

You can join us an individual, couple, or small group for one of our pre-established retreats, or get in touch if you have a larger group and would like us to work with you to build something special. We welcome corporate, government, post-secondary, family, and community groups.

Whatever retreat you attend, we promise great coffee and adventures you will remember.


Our Lodge

The lodge is perched up the San Juan Ridge on 160 private acres within our ancestral homeland. You can enjoy morning coffee or the sunset from its great room or wrap-around deck, eat breakfast and dinner at a long communal table, and enjoy the surrounding forest. This is also where you check in!
 

Lodge at night, exterior 2

Perched 200 m above sea level on the San Juan Ridge with 160 private acres bordering Provincial Park lands, our view shows very few signs of civilization, making it a great place to feel "away from it all". Catch incredible sunsets, gaze at the Milky Way on clear nights, glimpses of local wildlife while only a 10 minute drive to “downtown” Port Renfrew.



The Accommodations

Soule Creek Adventure Lodge offers four accommodation types, every one of them both unique and comfortable – 7 yurts and the Tanglewood cabin positioned around the lodge, 2 lodge guest rooms, and 2 lodge suites. It total, we can accommodate groups of up to 30 or more guests.



Dining

Each day begins with breakfast in our great room, with outstanding coffee and hand-crafted smoothies. Lunch will often be on adventure - a shared, rather gourmet, picnic with your guides and new friends. In the evening, we will gather in the great room for three course dinners on top of the world. On special occasion we will hold traditional salmon bakes and pit cooks right on the beach. All our meals are rich in local Vancouver Island and traditional ingredients such as wild salmon, halibut, and game caught by our own fishers & hunters.

Our menus are fixed, and we will work with incoming visitors to accommodate their preferences and allergies.



360º panoramic views

Perched high on the San Juan Ridge, our lodge, yurts, and cabins offer stunning 360-degree views of the Olympic Peninsula, Juan de Fuca Straight, West Coast Trail, San Juan Inlet, and Coastal Mountains. Each yurt, cabin, and lodge room has its own private deck with a stunning view.

Adventure Awaits!

Every retreat is unique, so select one that works for you. Guided by a member of the Pacheedaht First Nation you might hike local trails through old growth forests to culturally-modified trees, explore local lakes, paddle a traditional canoe, or visit Botanical Beach and its tidal pools. If quiet contemplation, cultural experiences, and wellness is what you are seeking, we offer retreats focused on those ‘adventures’ as well.

The lodge is quiet, a place to escape from the frantic pace of 21st century life. We only wish we could have planned for another day and night there.
