We enjoyed our stay in Lake Cowichan. It was a lovely end of summer escape. We were happy to swim in the River and explore the town and surrounding area.

Perfect Location

Cute property with the perfect location. The only improvement I could suggest is get rid of the cement blocks at the door entry. My guest twisted her ankle because they wobble under the mat. Well stocked and cute little place. Thanks so much!
