Adventure & Wildlife await in Stunning 2BR cottage on Cowichan River

The fully equipped Cottage is privately located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley and short walk to the Cowichan River and Provincial Park, where nature abounds. From inside the fully fenced yard, you can watch Elk herds in the field, Black bears harvesting native berries, or simply enjoy birdwatching or listening to the frogs. The river boasts amazing hiking trails, swimming, fishing & tubing or you can watch salmon running the Skutz Falls fish ladders. The cottage is the perfect hub to see all things Vancouver Island!
Please note, for stays longer than 3 nights, the cleaning fee increases to $140 per stay and our nightly price is based on double occupancy, with a $20/night charge for each additional guest.
The space
The cottage has a private and peaceful patio for enjoying the sun, sunsets, BBQ’s and wildlife watching. Inside is an open concept living area, dining table and kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas range, microwave and full size fridge perfect for memorable family dinners. The bedrooms boast brand new beds; comfy queen-size bed in master and double bed in second bedroom, and a newly renovated bathroom with heated shower floor and luxurious rain head shower.

Indoors there is a yoga mat, books, games (such as Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Cranium and more), playing cards and puzzles to name a few.
Other things to note

My sister and I loved this cottage and felt so welcomed by Julie, the owner. The layout of the kitchen suited us to a T. We adored our stay and wished we had booked more nights.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cottage is uniquely and beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. We had a spacious fenced terrace that opened to nature, and we even watched a bear while eating our dinner. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The best part is that this place is far from the noise and light pollution of the cities, surrounded by nature sounds, yet it is still a very short drive to Lake Cowichan village.
