We booked the house for a month in April. We were looking for a quiet place by the lake, where we could enjoy lots of outdoor activities and still find decent coffee close by. The coffee ended up being a stretch, but the rest was fabulous, perfect! The house has just about everything you need and the owners were great to deal with, they really made it so easy to enjoy their house. The property is an easy 25 minute drive into the centre of Duncan. If you are into hiking, biking, running, there are so many options in this area you will never be bored. If you just want to chill out at the house, this is very easy to do as well. I greatly enjoyed a morning tea on the dock. The neighbourhood is very friendly and is a very safe place for kids to run around. The house itself is set up really well for children. If you have problems climbing stairs, this is not your ideal property, unless of course you are just happy to sit back and enjoy the lovely view. There is a transport bus that can be picked up from Lake Cowichan that takes you into Duncan if you are without a car, but I would suggest a car is necessary for a stay at this property. I do hope that we are fortunate enough to spend another month at this great house.
