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.

Great value, awesome location and cute environment.

We loved the new clean minimalist vibe of the unit we stayed in. Gorgeous yard with shared seating, fire pit, hammocks, and dock. Right in the heart of Cowichan Lake. Highly recommend.

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!
