About this property

Riverside Suite | Kitchenette, Firepit & BBQ

Step into our cozy street-side suite at Cowichan Lake Cottages Riverside, where charm meets modern convenience.

The interior has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting space, perfect for couples, small families, or solo adventurers. The open-concept living and dining area is ideal for gathering, a comfortable sofa that doubles as a queen pull-out bed, and a smart TV for those quiet nights in.

The equipped kitchenette comes with essentials for preparing a hearty breakfast before a day of adventure or a romantic dinner in. You'll find an induction cooktop, air fryer, fridge, microwave, and a coffee maker for your morning cup of coffee to enjoy on the riverside dock.

The bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed and twin bunk-beds, outfitted with crisp linens and soft pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep. Just a few steps away is the bathroom with a shower and tub, and fresh towels, making sure you feel refreshed and ready for another day of exploration.

Outside, the riverside magic continues. The shared dock is the perfect spot to sip your coffee as the morning mist rises off the river or take a refreshing dip on a warm afternoon. The spacious yard offers plenty of room to spread out, with a communal covered firepit to gather around in the evening for s’mores and stories under the stars. The BBQ area is also shared, making it easy to cook up a delicious meal and enjoy it al fresco at the outdoor table.

The space combines peacefulness with the convenience of being in the heart of Lake Cowichan, where shops, cafes, and local attractions are just a short walk away. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, a tranquil retreat, or a bit of both, this property offers the perfect balance of comfort, relaxation, and exploration.

Suitable for a maximum occupancy of 4 adults and 2 kids (<12 years).
Cowichan Lake Riverside is a small, family run riverside motel located directly on the Cowichan River in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia. The property offers a peaceful setting with the convenience of being just steps from downtown shops, restaurants, cafes, beaches, and parks.

Guests enjoy comfortable, well maintained suites and studios, each with a kitchenette for light meals. Three units feature river views, and all guests have shared access to the outdoor amenities, including a riverside dock for swimming and relaxing, a BBQ area, and a covered fire pit. The setting is ideal for couples, solo travelers, and guests looking for a quiet, walkable base to explore the Cowichan Valley.

Popular activities nearby include river swimming, kayaking, fishing, walking trails, lake access, and local dining. Everything in town is easily accessible on foot, while the surrounding area offers endless opportunities to enjoy nature.

To maintain a safe and respectful environment for all guests, we have a few standard requirements. All guests must complete a brief identity verification on the day of check in, which may include uploading a government issued photo ID through our secure system prior to receiving self check in instructions. This is a common practice for professionally managed accommodations in Canada.

We also place a 500 CAD pre authorization security hold on the guest credit card 24 to 48 hours prior to check in. This is not a charge and no funds are withdrawn. The hold is automatically released within seven days after check out, provided there are no issues.

These measures help ensure a comfortable stay for everyone and allow us to maintain the quality of our riverside property.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Property

We were very happy with the quality and cleanliness of the property. Everything was very nicely presented and new. The beds and bedding were very nice and comfortable. The location is amazing with outdoor sitting and a private dock on the River. We look forward to coming back and staying again

Everything you need in a quaint little riverside apartment!

BOOK THIS NOW! This place is fantastic! It’s clean and modern and has everything you need including AC that works phenomenally. Our host was incredibly nice, professional and super attentive to anything we needed! The location is superb; you can’t get any better. From the moment we arrived until we checked out we had zero issues or complaints — we even stayed an extra day! We can’t wait to come back! We plan to book this exact same unit time and time again!
