OUR SMILANICH FAMILY
Smilanich Estates is a private collection of places that mean something deeply personal to our family. Each has its own landscape, character, and story—and sharing them is a responsibility we take to heart.
Kaley Smilanich deserves special acknowledgment for helping bring this collection and the retreat experience together. She manages and cares for our family properties, leads the rental arrangements, and puts her heart into the details that make every guest feel welcome.
Her work reflects what matters to us: welcoming people thoughtfully, sharing what makes each property special, and caring for these places so more memories can be made. This is so much more than offering a rental. It is sharing a part of our family's story.
Kaley Smilanich, Robert Smilanich, Jacob Smilanich, and Noah Smilanich are part of that story. We welcome guests who appreciate these exceptional places and will care for them as thoughtfully as we do.
Our hope is simple: that your time here becomes part of your own family’s story.
