Incredible
views .... luxurious accommodations .... mountaintop
hospitality... a romantic getaway just for you!
If you are in search of a natural paradise with breathtaking
scenery and the very finest Vancouver Island has to offer,
look no farther than the Prancing Horse Retreat. This
beautiful bed and breakfast inn, just 20 minutes north of
Victoria, the capital of scenic British Columbia, Canada,
promises premium lodging accommodations with spectacular views
of the Olympic Mountains.
Perched at the Malahat's summit and majestically sequestered
behind its white picket fence, this red-roofed Victorian villa
welcomes you with a view that only soaring eagles usually
enjoy. Gnarled arbutus and rock-hugging firs provide a
backdrop to the colorful garden, where terraced rockery leads
to a multi-tiered deck. Here you will find a hot tub and
gazebo to add even more pleasure to your stay. Experience deer
meandering through the property and jack rabbits scurrying to
their burrows. Colorful hummingbirds, stellar jays, doves,
quail, and even eagles will entertain you as you relax on the
patio from your lofty perch.
Enchantment flows through the villa. You will reach your
private suite to find many pampering amenities such as you
would expect in a fine hotel that bestow a truly romantic
stay. Fresh flowers, Aveda bath products, and Bernard
Callebaut chocolate are a few of the treats awaiting you. All
accommodations have been decorated with the finest attention
to detail. Battenburg lace linens softly drape the suites,
each with its own private four-piece bath, television, VCR,
coffeemaker, and refrigerator. The large luxury suites boast
double soaker tubs, and many have stunning views, fireplaces,
and private decks for a truly unforgettable experience. Fax,
laundry facilities, and fitness equipment are available.
A full gourmet breakfast topped off with Champagne and
freshly squeezed orange juice is served daily on the spacious
patio or in the dining room. A full continental breakfast is
offered on Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day.
Whether you enjoy luxurious accommodations, amazing scenery,
abundant wildlife, or outdoor recreation, there is something
for everyone to enjoy while visiting Vancouver Island and
Prancing Horse Retreat. |
While you might want to spend all of your time enjoying
paradise at the Prancing Horse, the scenery and activity of
Vancouver Island may beckon. Right across the road is the
world-famous Aerie Resort, which features dinners made by
international chefs, an in-house spa, and many other
amenities. Two golf courses are within 20 minutes of the Inn
for year-round enjoyment, with fishing, sailing, rail tours,
horseback riding, and hiking also nearby.
The local waters teem with wildlife such as orcas, grey
whales, seals and sea lions, all of which can be seen from the
Inner Harbor of Victoria. Victoria is also home to the
world-renowned Buchart Gardens. Ancient old-growth forests as
well as countless beaches and fjords are found on Vancouver
Island and the nearby Gulf Islands, offering endless
opportunities for spectacular exploration and relaxation. |
