About this property

2 bedroom waterfront with private dock in downtown Lake Cowichan!

We are located in the heart of downtown, so everything you need is just steps away from this suite! Island Pastry Haus is at your front door. Jakes on the Lake, Country Grocer, and Liquor stores are just a few things within walking distance. Lake Cowichan Marina is only 1km away, and entry to the Lake Cowichan river (famously known for river tubing in the summer) is accessible from the private dock on our property.

The suite:
Air-conditioning: The entire unit is heated and air-conditioned by a centrally located heat-pump. The windowed garage door can be opened if you want to join your indoor and outdoor living spaces!

Bedroom 1:
Contains a king sized bed. The front wall of this room is retractable, so that views of the outdoors can be enjoyed from bed. The bedside lamps contain both plugs and USB ports for charging electronic devices. The closet in this room offers additional pillows and blankets.

Bedroom 2:
Has a double bed, and a bunkbed containing 2 single mattresses. The top bunk is only accessible by ladder. This room has a window and a fan, if extra cooling is desired.

Bathroom:
Contains both a shower and bathtub. Extra towels, and toilet paper are provided. Basic soap, shampoo, body wash and hairdryer are included. There are 2 steps to access the washroom, please be aware, if you have mobility issues.

Kitchen:
Includes a fridge, stove, dishwasher microwave, and coffee maker. Basic cooking and cleaning implements are provided.

Dining area:
Includes bench style seating for 6! The glass garage-door can be opened to enjoy the outdoor air, while dining indoors! The patio also has a table and chairs if outdoor dining is desired.

Workstation:
A laptop can be set up at the desk located under the television (as seen in photos) in the main living area. There is a plug and free wi-fi access throughout the property, including on the dock.

Living room:
There is a couch, loveseat and coffee table facing the smart-tv.

Parking:
The building is situated in an area that has 2 hour parking from 9am to 6pm, on the street in front of the property. There is additional unlimited free parking within walking distance, in the surrounding area. A parking map will be provided in the days before your arrival.

The Yard:
The privately accessed, enclosed yard provides privacy from the street! The yard includes a patio with BBQ, an outdoor table with umbrella, and sun loungers. The fire table and outdoor seating area is located at the end of the yard, just above the dock, and is perfect for relaxing during the day or evening!

Dock:
You will have access to your own private dock! Dock safety is required, and life-jackets are recommended for children, due to the depth of water off the dock. In the heat of summer, tubing down the river becomes a popular activity! You can rent tubes from the tube-shack a few doors down, or bring your own!

Boats:
This property sits at the mouth of Cowichan River, a stone's throw from the weir! Boats can be launched from either the Marina, or boat ramp next to the weir tower. The boat must then be brought through the weir, then secured at our dock.

Suite Accessibility:
Please note that accessing the suite may be challenging for those with mobility issues. To get to the suite, there is a narrow stairway to the back of the building. While inside the suite, access to the bathroom, and second bedroom is up two stairs. As such, those with mobility problems might not have the easiest time navigating the space.

Great getaway

This was a great place to stay, easy walking to local stores, restaurants & pub. Also, it was just so nice to seat on the dock & look at the lake, do a little swim. So peaceful.

Great place

In town next to restaurant and bar. Place had everything. If you stayed a week… a washing machine would be good. Breakfast by the dock and dinner by the BBQ. Would definitely recommend it..

Lovely small town getaway

Stayed here with my two brothers for a weekend getaway. The place was so lovely and clean with a wonderful layout. Whenever we needed to contact the host, they were quick to reply and timely to follow up on requests. The private dock was the highlight of our weekend. Definitely going to recommend this suite to family and friends!

Sweet little spot!

Everything was exactly how we pictured it! Host was amazing with many little “extras” that we noticed. We will return, as a matter of fact we are talking about regularly returing every year! Thank you!

Very clean, GREAT location!

Lovely, very clean apt that has its own dock, outdoor area to enjoy and lake access. Super comfortable bed (!) and great view of the lake. Right next door to a great little bakery, just down the street from the local coffee shop. Great grocery store just across the bridge. All within walking distance. Hosts were very helpful, we had a lovely stay!

Little tips

Impressed with the cleanliness and overall appearance and amenities, However there is no mention in the description that you have to navigate stairs to get down to the entrance or that there are stairs to the bathroom and 2nd bedroom. Very difficult if you are a senior with some mobility problems. we found it very difficult going up and down stairs to get in and out of the unit and to the bathroom. Nice as it is we would not stay again.

Beautiful private retreat

This property was absolutely lovey for the moment we walked in. The well thought out design on this older property makes it feel modern and quaint. It is comfortable and convenient at every move. Although it's not huge, it never felt that way for my husband ,and 2 grandsons (10 and 15) and me. The kitchen is well stocked, the kids loved their bedroom with a cute little tucked away bunk in a cubby , and a full size bed for the 15 yr old. and the main bedroom has a fold away wall that you can open to give a morning view of the lake. They provided plenty of linens and offered if we needed more they would provide them. We had full use of the yard, dock and firepit and never felt watched. Very private feeling. The lake was perfect for us all and the boys swam nonstop. We Kayaked swam and even did a little crayfish catching ,providing hours of entertainment. We brought our own tubes and floated just down river 20 min. walking back by the road. If you don't have your own tubes, you can rent tube next door and take a gentle float down river on a 2 hr. tour and the rental company will pick you up and bring you back. The A&W is in walking distance for breakfast when I wanted a morning off and Jakes at the Lake is a wonderful restaurant for a dinner. The grocery store is only 3 minutes down the road though and you can BBQ and cook all your meals if you want to . I would definitely rent again. Loved our stay Thank you .
