Lovely, well equipped, clean property & wonderful host. Amazing place to get away from it all, though lack of cell service can pose a bit of frustration when trying to map out destinations. Restaurant options at Lake Cowichan are very minimal and not great, so plan on driving at least 20-30min to find more. The nearby river is SO beautiful and excellent for swims, a river float & hikes.

Very clean and inviting cottage. Everything we needed was there and functioning properly. Very homey and comfortable. Great place to get away from it all. Hosts are super friendly and approachable. An Elk herd visited the pasture next to the cottage a few mornings. Property is fenced-in, so no fear of wildlife coming right to the house.
Herd of 14 Elk came to visit.

Delightful

Very nice and friendly hosts that own the property. They showed us around. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Brand new bathrooom. Super close to flyfishing on Cowachian River and great nearby hikes along the river. The morning and evening visits from elk herd were amazing!

The cottage is uniquely and beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. We had a spacious fenced terrace that opened to nature, and we even watched a bear while eating our dinner. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The best part is that this place is far from the noise and light pollution of the cities, surrounded by nature sounds, yet it is still a very short drive to Lake Cowichan village.

This is a gem of a property, if you're looking for something quiet, serene, and a little off the beaten path. The cottage is perfect - well-appointed, comfortable, and stocked with everything you need (and some things you didn't know you needed, like a bocce set!). Julie is the consummate host and made us feel so welcome and looked after. We cannot recommend this property highly enough - even though we should't, because we have big plans to come back as many times as we can and would be sad to miss it on our next trip out because YOU booked it! :)
