Holiday rentals with a patio in Cowichan Lake

Amazing cute suite! the place was curated with such thought and detail. Good linens and amazing large shower. Very relaxing stay.

Great place to stay! Clean, accessible, and Lucy was super helpful when our arrival plans got delayed.

Overall the stay was great! I’m sure coming back in the summer would be super beautiful

What a special space! From the moment we walked in we felt right at home and could not believe how beautiful the views were! We loved sitting on the patio to start and end our days admiring the peaceful harbour. The town also had a few nice restaurant options, a delicious bakery, and cute shops to enjoy as well! We were even lucky enough to briefly meet Astrid and Stephen who were both such gems, their love of the harbour and their home is very evident! I feel lucky we were able to stay at their space during our trip to Vancouver island and wound highly recommend this home!

Lydia's place was great for us! So clean, had everything we needed, perfect location. She's very easy to reach anytime and a lovely person. As noted by others there is construction nearby and ambulances bc of nearby hospital but it's only in the day and we got pretty used to it. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed so unless you need quiet all day and won't be going out I wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely place.

Wonderful Stay with an Exceptional Host I had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb! From start to finish, the host was incredibly communicative and responsive, providing clear and detailed instructions that made check-in and check-out a breeze. The space itself was immaculate—spotlessly clean, uncluttered, and beautifully maintained. The bathroom was spick and span, which made the stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The location couldn’t be better, situated centrally with easy access to all the major shopping centres and amenities. It was perfect for exploring the area and grabbing anything we needed without hassle. Overall, a truly wonderful stay with a thoughtful host who clearly cares about their guests’ experience. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and welcoming place to stay!

Really liked my stay, host always responded and checked in, nice apartment very clean. Wish location was closer to shops and food ect, too many homeless people close to the location so weary of that but besides that I enjoyed my stay nice stay for 1-3 days. Clear instructions when checking in and out. I would give it 4.5/5 very enjoyable

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

The place far exceeded our expectations. It was equipped with EVERYTHING we would have needed to not go anywhere the whole time. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking necessities, the kind beds in every room with vaulted ceilings made us feel like the boujee girls we want to be. The views were breathtaking and being able to have all of our meals outdoors with heat and covering made it so memorable. The house came with cars and outdoor games too to use on the nice open yard. It really felt like the place was ours. The icing on the cake was the chairs, wood and starters to make our own little beach fire right below the house and roast marshmallows while watching the sunset. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough! Definitely coming back!

The location of this place couldn't be better for exploring the Island and especially for mountain biking (hosts were very accommodating with letting us store/charge our ebikes in their garage during our visit). Very easy access to everything North and South of Nanaimo as well as the city itself. The apartment is very peaceful with your own private garden/sitting area. While Nash and Louise are delightful hosts the real star of this property is Ollie, the most well behaved dog you will ever meet. Ollie greeted us upon our arrival and checked in most mornings to make sure we were well taken care of. Be sure to get Nash and Louise's restaurant recommendations.

Awesome place! The house was very well appointed. Host always responded to our messages. Walkable to all stores and food options. Would definitely recommend this place if staying in and around lake Cowichan.

Beautiful place with an amazing view! We really loved staying at Dan and Sam’s place. It was so peaceful to look out at the view of the ocean and walk down to the private beach. We even saw a family of otters the first day. The kitchen has everything you need, and the shower had perfect water pressure. We loved the motorized blinds in the bedroom. The location was convenient to do a day trip in Victoria (about 45 min to an hour). There was also an awesome restaurant nearby called Wild Mountain, and tons of hiking nearby. Highly recommend for a stay in southern Vancouver Island!

We were lucky enough to get to meet Emma as the guest suite is located in the bottom floor of her family home (also with your own private parking and patio/garden space). Emma is so warm and friendly. We loved having the chance to chat and appreciated the helpful local recommendations on walking/biking in the area (Bald Mountain is just down the road, we also hired bikes from Cycle Therapy in Duncan for the Cowichan Valley Trail and ferry to Salt Spring Island from Crofton was also within 45 minutes drive). We saw beautiful elk and even a bear(!) hiking in the local area. The space is very large and well put together with all amenities you need and a wood fired sauna (and cold plunge!) that we very much enjoyed after all the exercise.

Josie was a fantastic host. Flexible, responsive, and helpful in providing local recommendations for an area we were new to. The house and property are beautiful, peaceful, and unique. Can't recommend highly enough!

Hosts super responsive on our last minute booking. Place was beautiful and quiet with a lovely view of the water. Kitchen was wonderfully set up with dishes, cutlery, appliances etc. Would recommend to friends.

Our international artists appreciate having clean, comfortable surroundings when they travel, and a place where they can relax off-site from our music festival. They were effusive in their prisse of such nice accommodation. Life can be hard for a touring artists. Their stay here gave them a postive expeirence, which helps our brand as event producers.. - Cowichan Valley Bluegrass Festival

Our stay in this condo was very good. The photos matched the actual surroundings and the hosts were wonderful to work with. The unit is located very close to the Chinatown Train Station (which makes access to & from the airport easy) and a stop on the "Hop On-Hop Off" bus tour very convenient. We were forewarned about areas of the city that were experiencing a lot of homeless people so that we could make sure that any walks were headed in the right direction. Very pleased overall.

Had a fantastic stay at Barry’s. Will return for sure

Perfect place to stay for our group with 4 adults and two kids. We loved the views!

Great base for exploring downtown Vancouver. Kitchen has everything you need and convenient to have laundry available when travelling. Elise is a kind and approachable host.

Great spot! Daman addresed any messages quickly from check in to check out. Looked just like the photos, lots of closet space if you're booking for a longer stay, convenient location, safe parking, secure building entry.

Great location. Suite had all we needed. Thoughtful touches. Parking for second vehicle a bit confusing. Beautiful view, lovely grounds, very clean space. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location for all the nightlife Vancouver has to offer. Walkable to everything and a great host. Close to all key shopping locations.

This was the perfect space to end our four week trip in Canada. The apartment had everything we needed and was beautifully equipped for us to enjoy some ‘home’ time. Lots of great stores nearby and stocking up at Granville Island was great for a night in. Would highly recommend both Trevor as a host and this lovely space with killer views 💖
