Ocean Wilderness Inn

where eagles nest and old-growth forest meets the sea

Ocean Wilderness Inn is a serene and comfortable retreat located on the shore of the Juan de Fuca strait looking across to the Olympic Mountains.

The Inn is a beguiling mix of rustic and elegant. The dining room is located in a vintage log cabin and coffee is served on silver trays.  Old-growth forest embraces our English cottage garden.  There is no TV, but there is high speed wireless internet.  Our location, between Sooke and Jordan River, on the Muir Creek beach, encourages as much activity (hiking, birding, fishing, biking, kayaking, golfing etc.) or stillness (nap, soak in the hot tub, read, sip tea, count waves etc.) as you wish.  When booking your get-away choose from rooms overlooking ocean or forest.

Unwind

A popular respite for weary travelers, the hot tub is tucked in a Japanese-style gazebo. Soak away cares while watching moonlight on the ocean, or even a winter storm.

 

Celebrate

Gather your clan for a relaxing and enjoyable anniversary, family reunion, retirement, small wedding, or other celebration.  Either, or both, the professionally landscaped and maintained garden or the dining room make terrific gathering spots.

Feast

A silver service of coffee or tea will arrive at your door as a gentle wake-up call. Savor a full country/ gourmet breakfast with fellow guests in our historic log dining room.  Breakfast features as many seasonal, local, and organic ingredients as available. We embrace the slow food philosophy.

Making the most of one’s assets is one way to get ahead. If your best assets relate to natural scenery and wildlife it can be a good idea to let others know about them, it’s worked well on Hornby Island and a local host can see it happening along West Coast Road near Muir Creek.
