Another wonderful vacation at Doug & Staci's

From check in to check out and everything in-between it was another wonderful experience. Coffee on the sun deck overlooking the lake in the mornings and evenings was a great start and end to our day! The cabin is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable too! A great getaway!

Lovely Lake Views

The highlight of our vacation was the view of the lake, it was spectacular! We spent most of our time on the covered deck or the dock. We fished, swam and floated, it was a extremely relaxing vacation.

Perfect place for our family vacation. The house and dock are spacious and relaxing.

Our family spent an incredible week up at the cottage. We loved the spacious property which is private but central to everything. We'll be back! Thank you 😊

Great Lake, nice property

This has been a very nice location and family stay for some days directly at Lake Covichan. Staci and Doug were easy and reliable to communicate with. Unfortunately, there was no boat rental to discover the lake. more intensively

Family Relaxation

Booked last October, stayed in August 2024. Property is beautiful with all the amenities of a house that feels like a cabin. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered deck with its many seating areas. When it was chilly we were able to sit indoors to play games in the evening. The wharf was lovely for swimming and had enough room to dock our boat. It would be helpful to include in the listing that the third bedroom is its own cabin separated from the main house. My sister stayed out there and did have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom in the main house. This might pose a problem for some groups depending on their configuration. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return again. Thank you to Staci & Doug for sharing their home. Nicole & family

Beautiful serene home on Lake Cowichan

This place was spotlessly clean, warm and inviting and everything you need to have a great stay. The dock was super to moor our boat. The lake was warm and so beautiful. Did I mention the view? I highly recommend staying here. Memories will last a lifetime.
