Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cowichan Lake

We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

We loved Jacquie's place, from start to finish we had a great experience. The host was very proactive in providing check in details and was very flexible in terms of our arrival time and departure time, which made our last day much more enjoyable to not have to rush off. The property itself is great, incredibly clean, with a well-stocked kitchen and all the amenities you would need for a great weekend away. The outside space is a real high point here, the wrap around deck is great for socializing and has some great views. We ate every meal outside. The hot tub was brand new, really clean and in a great spot to enjoy outside. Overall a superb property, that we would happily stay at again.

Really lovely place in Cowichan Valley. Jane was a lovely and kind host. The place was exactly as shown/described, with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable bed. Would stay here again when we're back in Duncan!

We had a wonderful stay at Sarah's cabin in the woods. The lighting and atmosphere of the place was just what we hoped for from the description. We were pleased with the private space and took full advantage of the hot tub and proximity to Mystic beach. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a quiet and relaxing spot that is near the surf or hiking trails of the Juan de Fuca trail.

This was our first time in Sooke and we shared Fredrick’s place with a friend we hadn’t seen in years. The warm home like environment, the separate bedroom ,bathroom spaces worked perfectly. The views were wonderful and we dined and explored the area easily. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Excellent place for a getaway. The bay window is lovely to sit and watch the deer and birds and the bathtub was perfect! Super easy check in and convenient location to explore the surrounding area.

Nice,quite location and it had everything we needed.

Sarah's place was just as described! It was very quiet, clean, and the view of the bay was lovely. There are good restaurants nearby and Sarah provided excellent recommendations. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy private space in a safe and nice neighbourhood, close to a trail to walk the dog. Stay can be a bit on the noisier side with the highway on the other side of the bushes but did not bother us too much.

We had such a lovely stay at Raquel’s place! Raquel was super responsive and easy to communicate with—she gave us lots of helpful info about the area, and when we ran out of pancake mix, she even brought us a new bag (so thoughtful!). The place itself is really cute and peaceful, with cows nearby and a sweet big black cat we got to meet. It’s in a great location too—right off the main road and just a minute away from a cider place we really enjoyed. The room was spotless and well equipped. We appreciated the selection of teas, the automatic coffee machine, and even dog biscuits—it’s clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome. There were a few harmless ants here and there, but honestly nothing to complain about. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Sharon's place is an absolute gem on Bowen Island! The views are magnificent and the home itself is comfortable, clean, spacious and well-appointed. The location is a short walk to all of Bowen Island's restaurants, shops and art galleries. Sharon is an excellent and communicative host who goes above and beyond to ensure her guests are well taken care of. I highly recommend this home for anybody looking for a relaxing stay on Bowen Island!

Beautiful Getaway! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 5-year-old, 1-year-old, small dog) spent American Thanksgiving week at Carley's place on Pender Island and had an amazing and relaxing week of family time. The house is even more unique (in the best possible way) than the pictures show, the views are amazing, and the kids spent days just exploring the space. We hiked each day, explored the island, and enjoyed the sunsets and fireplace. The hosts are communicative, and the place has all the amenities you could need. 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again!

The location of this rental was even more beautiful in person, than in the photos. On a 25 acre farm, it had water and mountain views and was peaceful and relaxing, while at the same time only a short drive from amenities (restaurant, coffee shop, grocery). The rental was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Trish and her husband were very friendly and responsive to our needs. Our dog also thoroughly enjoyed her visit, and especially the two resident Goldens! It's a great place to relax and disconnect, we used the wood fireplace which was real nice touch. Highly recommend we would definitely return.

We were fortunate to be able to book with very little notice. The hosts were very accommodating and offered us an early check-in option. The location was very private and peaceful with farm animals nearby. Having a full kitchen was great. The enclosed outdoor yard was perfect for our dog. We would look into booking again in the future!

We had an absolutely great stay! Eva was super helpful and kind. She gave us a ton of local recommendations for the pups and us. The space was cozy and met all our needs! Would definitely stay again!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Tabitha’s place! The garden and patio were absolutely beautiful - such a peaceful and welcoming space to spend time in. Tabitha herself was incredibly responsive, kind, and human; from our casual conversations to the thoughtful way everything was set up, it felt like we were staying in someone’s real home rather than just a rental. The kitchen was stocked with care, the listing included tons of helpful tips, and I really appreciated the attention to sustainability throughout the space. We made so many good memories during our week here. If we come back to Vancouver, we’d absolutely stay again. Thank you, Tabitha! 💛

This place was perfect for our family of four. we easily felt comfortable and at home. Clean and well maintained. Easy to get to. check-in and check out were easy. Felt very secure. The location is wonderful, incredibly walkable. Close to everything. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Billie’s place was the perfect spot for a trip to Salt Spring Island. Really appreciated the welcome, orientation of the suite and local recommendations. I’d love to stay again and will definitely recommend!

What a gem! Monica's place was outstanding. Short walk to the beach and the common pool and hot tub were exactly as described and perfect for our family. The kitchen was stocked above and beyond with anything you might need for cooking, which we loved. This is often not the case in many AirBnB's so we were very happy about this. This place was quiet and cozy and we loved the community feeling of the resort. Monica was great with communicating quickly. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely time staying in Tammy’s home. It was really clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. She is very responsive and we were able to check in a bit early on our arrival. The bed is very comfortable and there is a lovely view of the water from the patio. We would definitely stay here again! The resort has a tennis court, lots of grills, one campfire pit, dock for crabbing or boats, beach for clamming. The property is very well kept. Thanks again Tammy for such a lovely stay!

Beautiful property. walking the beach, swimming at the pool, we enjoyed our stay. The accommodation were wonderful. (as described, spacious.) Hope to go again. Thank you Pat for the games and Beautiful kitchen, bedrooms ect.

My family of four stayed at Nyna's to attend a wedding over the Labour Day long weekend and enjoy some relaxation time at Rathtrevor Beach. The cabin had an absolutely perfect location for our purposes. It is an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, but we also drove to Rathtrevor whenever the kids insisted on bringing an excessive number of toys to play in the sand. The cabin itself was exactly as described and pictured. We were not entirely sure of our check-in time due to needing to pick up supplies on our way to the cabin, but Nyna still stuck around to welcome us in person upon our arrival and give us a personal tour of the place. She was an extremely responsive and helpful host. We would highly recommend her place to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Thank you, Nyna!

Agata’s place was so beautiful, in a great location and very comfortable to stay in! There was lots to do around the area and it felt very safe. It was very easy to check in, even when going with a vehicle and the instructions were super easy to follow. Agata also responded quickly to messages and made communication stress-free. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

If you are fortunate enough to book Donald’s property, you will not be disappointed. My sister and I booked this unit and were so happy that we did. The property houses many more people, but it was also great for just the two of us. We both had our own bedroom and bathroom. So nice. The location is awesome. We walked on the beach and just relaxed. The pool and hot tub were great. This is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back hopefully. Thanks to Donald and his cleaning lady. Cheers Sandra
