About this property
Cozy Suite by the Lake + Breakfast!
*Work bookings welcome!* Nestled in the heart of the Cowichan Valley - Vancouver Island's best kept secret - nature abounds at this bright, peaceful + centrally-located sanctuary. 5 min drive to Duncan’s famously adorable downtown + Saturday market, and 3 min walk to the lake to sip your coffee while eagle-watching, or catch the Canadian Olympic Rowing Team practicing. Included is a simple granola breakfast (provided first week of your stay), to help power you up for your adventures!
This pet-free suite is approximately 800 sq ft, and features climate-controlled central heating and A/C to keep you cozy in winter, and cool in the summer. It is a separate suite with private back entrance and keypad, located on the lower level of a single family home on a spacious lot. Only your two quiet hosts live above - no kids or pets other than the occasion family visit.
The suite's large master bedroom features a dreamy pillow-top Queen bed, closet, dresser and private work station. The living room couch opens into a comfy, new IKEA futon with pillow-top Queen mattress which sleeps an additional 2: perfect for kids or groups traveling together. The kitchen is stocked with fridge, freezer, oven, toaster oven, microwave and dish washer, cooking supplies, coffee maker, kettle, small rice cooker, coffee, tea and basic seasonings. Plus granola breakfast, included for the first week of your stay!
Our interaction with guests is minimal, but we are only a message or call away if you need anything at all.
Please note:
- Parents be advised: While kids of all ages are most welcome, at this time baby equipment, toys and toddler-proofing of the suite or property is not offered. Thanks for understanding.
- Lake Quamichan is our beautiful lake next door overflowing with wildlife, however, swimming is not allowed due to algae overgrowth. Water sports like canoeing and kayaking are fine, however!
- As it’s an older home, quiet hours are 9pm-7am.
- Kindly wash up your dishes/run the dishwasher before you leave, we’ll take care of the rest.
Daily breakfast is provided for the first week of your stay (unless arranged for longer for an additional charge), and includes:
- local organic coffee
- selection of teas
- milk (local dairy or homemade oat milk)
- gluten-free granola
- organic homemade yogurt
- seasonal fruit
