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.

Rob and Sandy are great hosts and took time to show us around the property. They were patient to answer any questions we had, both before and during about the stay. We enjoyed siting by the river amongst the nature and serenity. I definitely recommend people to stay here and won’t miss a chance to rebook with them.

Thanks so much for an amazing stay! We were there 1 night and arrived late, Rob left the lights on and stayed up to ensure we got settled in okay. The airstream is kept in exact condition from the 60s! Highly recommend!

The property was beautiful and peaceful and everything I needed was there… The river was just a quick stroll away and it was safe for swimming and floating and enjoying the weather. The hosts were amazing and checked in to make sure I had everything I needed …it was the perfect place to relax and unwind as there is limited cell service.

Wonderful property and beautiful swimming spot. Kids loved catching crayfish and frogs :)No amenities near by so make sure you bring everything you need (ice for example). Place was pet friendly: owner has a kind dog but worth mentioning if your dog prefers to be left alone.

Rob and Sandy’s place is absolutely amazing! Rob gave us a tour of the property and made us feel so welcome.The airstream was clean and cozy and the property was ideally located on the river - so tranquil and beautiful. We enjoyed picking apples and plums that they shared with us and cooking meals in the outdoor kitchen. We can’t wait to go again.

This accommodation is not only utterly wonderful and unique, but it offers so much nature and space to enjoy on the property. We definitely would want to return to enjoy swimming in the river and chilling on the deck! The BBQ and gas firepit are great addition to the glamping experience!

Gorgeous Lakeside Spot, But Security Was a Concern

The lakeside location was absolutely beautiful peaceful, scenic, and perfect for unwinding. The Airstream had charm, the space was too compact for someone tall (6' 1"). It was uncomfortable for moving around or sleeping. My main concern was the inability to lock the door when we were away. The host didn’t provide a key, so we couldn’t secure our belongings when leaving the property, which was unsettling. It’s a great spot for a nature getaway, but having a way to lock up your things would make a big difference in peace of mind.

Rob and Sandy were great hosts. The Airstream was well equipped. Bed was queen size and comfy. The outside kitchen with BBQ was great. The rental was very private and quiet, located on the shores of the river. Our only challenge was poor cell phone service. We would come again. A lovely holiday. Thank you Rob and Sandy.

Beautiful property, Rob showed us around and told us about the history while we walked by the river and through the yards, the camper itself was cozy yet quite functional and we were only there for the night but would definitely return!
