We’re Raylene and Colin, and after many years of working and living internationally, we’ve chosen to slow down and create a peaceful retreat in the mountains where guests can step away from busy lives and enjoy genuine rest. Our careers took us across different countries, cultures and environments, and that experience shaped how we host today — with openness, care, attention to detail and a deep respect for people’s need for space and privacy. Mountain Sanctuary Retreat reflects this next chapter for us: a move toward semi-retirement, simplicity and meaningful hospitality. Raylene enjoys creating a warm, welcoming experience for guests, from thoughtful touches throughout the rooms to preparing generous continental breakfasts using fresh, quality ingredients. She values comfort, safety and ease, ensuring guests feel relaxed and well looked after from the moment they arrive. Colin enjoys the quieter rhythm of life on the mountain and takes pride in caring for the gardens and shared spaces, making sure everything feels calm, orderly and beautifully maintained. His focus is on keeping the retreat running smoothly so guests can enjoy their stay without interruption. Together, we believe true hospitality is unintrusive, respectful and personal without being overwhelming. We’re always happy to offer local recommendations if asked, but equally mindful that many guests come here to disconnect, unwind and enjoy the retreat at their own pace. Our aim is simple: to offer a refined, peaceful place where guests feel comfortable, welcome and free to slow down.
