About this property
Vintage Airstream retreat on the Cowichan River
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in our beautifully restored 1965 vintage Airstream, nestled on 2.5 acres of landscaped paradise along the pristine Cowichan River. Surrounded by towering trees and tranquil nature, this unique getaway is perfect for those seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both.
Enjoy world-class fishing, scenic hiking and biking, and daily visits from local wildlife, all just steps from your door. Spend your days tubing down the river, exploring nearby Lake Cowichan, or discovering the region’s renowned wineries and the scenic Trans Canada Trail.
The Airstream blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort, and the experience continues outdoors with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, perfect for grilling, gathering, and dining under the open sky. Refresh after a day of adventure in the private outdoor shower, surrounded by nature and birdsong.
Whether you’re sipping wine by the firepit or unwinding on the riverside deck with stunning views and the sound of the flowing water, this is where memories are made.
Your riverside escape awaits.
