Money well spent

Our family had an incredible 1 week stay at this property. The owners have very clearly planned out every small detail with amenities, and activities for kids. The layout of the house was well designed for families with a clean, modern feel. The lake views from the house (with small Island in the background) were quite possibly some of the nicest on the entire lake. We would definitely love to come back again!

Perfect Lake Vacation

You won’t find a better lake vacation rental! This property has everything you need and more! Justin was super easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed to have a lovely vacation. The kids had endless fun playing with all the toys, swimming, fishing, making s’mores on the fire, and movie nights. There are spots all over the property to relax while supervising the kids. The gazebo was a great hub set up with a fridge and bbq so you don’t need to leave the lake all day. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Vacation Rental

My family along with another family stayed at this vacation rental for 7 nights. We were extremely pleased with all aspects of the house. Upon arrival, it was very clean and well organized. It had an easy to follow manual of the house and what the property had to offer. There were paddle boards, kayaks, a kids playground, kids toys, art supplies, lifejackets, beach toys - everything you need for a family vacation. I would definitely stay at this location again. The owner was very pleasant to deal with and was available if any problem was to arise. The massive Elk that visited every morning and night was a nice touch too. Highly recommend this place.

Another fantastic stay at Island Family Lakehouse

The Island Family Lakehouse is a fantastic home away from home on beautiful Lake Cowichan. This is our second year back. A great vacation like last year - wonderful quiet location right on the lake with all the amenities one needs.

Blissful holiday

Justin's property is just pristine and perfect. Great location on the lake, nicely protected by a small island and gets morning and afternoon sun. Lots of room for 8 people to spread out and enjoy. This was our second summer and we plan to come back!

Fantastic family friendly waterfront property.

We spent two fabulous weeks at the Island Family Lakehouse. The location is fantastic. Right on the water. Back from the road that circles the lake. Family friendly (we have three children ages 10-17). Lots of space indoors & outdoors (both in sun & shade). Well maintained. Justin, the owner was easily accessible if needed & very helpful in ensuring that we had a great stay. Finally - the lake is stunning - great for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and playing. We feel blessed to have had such a great family vacation.

Blissful holiday

We had a great time in this beautiful lakefront property. Wonderful swimming, paddling and boating in the lake. Biking and hiking a short drive away. The house and grounds are so lovely - Justin and Rachel seem to have thought of everything. We loved it and will definitely come back.

Amazing Property

This place was perfect for our fall long weekend getaway! The set up was great and there was even a crib for the baby! They have everything you need for toys for the kids (both inside and out) and the adults to relax! The sloping grass field down to the beach is an idyllic view and perfect for kids and dogs! Owners were readily available and inquiring if we needed anything. They were also very understanding after we lost our dog and requested a late check out to search for him. We ended up finding him right before we had to leave thank goodness! Will definitely be coming back again (but maybe without the dog next time!)

Amazing family holiday stay

Thank you for an amazing stay! Check in and out were super simple with the detailed instructions that we received prior to arrival - and what a beautiful spot! The home itself was cozy, yet spacious enough that each member of our family could find a little quiet time when they needed it (which can be tough with a 2 year old!). Waking up to that gorgeous lake view every morning was a real treat as was enjoying a nice camp fire at night - marshmallow sticks provided ( just one of the many thoughtful touches found at this stay). I hope we have the chance to come back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Island Family Lakehouse

Loving husband, father of four children and business owner.

Why they chose this property

Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and our Lakehouse in Youbou is located on one of the best places on the Island. South facing exposure, the wind coverage from Billy Goat island located in front of the property, the gradual lawn that turns into a pea gravel beach, the gazebo, the fire pit, the dock, the water toys and the fun. This is why we call it the Ultimate Lakehouse Property.

What makes this property unique

Perfectly set up for your family to have a memorable vacation.
