The property is beautifully situated on the water in the North Arm of Lake Cowichan which is notorious for it's clean beautiful water. The home is perfect with a large kitchen, deck space and comfortable beds. I spent 5 weeks here and it had everything I needed and is also very close to the town of Lake Cowichan.

Beautiful Lake Cowichan

The house is exactly as is shown in the pictures, 3 bedrooms on the lower level and the master on the top level. Directly on the lake. I spent as much time as I could sitting on a chair on the private dock reading or taking phone calls. There isn't a lot to do directly around the house but I would recommend the drive to Port Renfrew. The drive alone is stunning, and the area over there is equally as beautiful. We would regularly drive over there for the day and didn't find it too far for day trips. John and Lisa are great hosts and were very quick to reply to questions I had or make suggestions of things to do. While we were there the oven quit and John worked tirelessly to get it fixed right away - so bonus to the next guests, there is a new stove ;-). They are very conscientious about COVID-19 and helped to ensure that everything was properly cleaned and don't allow partying, etc. So if that is what you are looking for this isn't the place. If you want a peaceful place on the lake. this is it! We would stay here again in an instant. This is a great place to call home for a while.

Uniquely off the grid

The lakeside home is a superb seasonal getaway. With the focus on outdoor activities, winter has it's challenges. Still, the landscape is hauntingly beautiful and a town with all the amenities is a relatively short drive away.

wonderful holiday at lake cowichan lake house!!

We were so happy with our experience at this beautiful property. For us, the best part was the location, right on the water. We were able to bring our 20 ft Malibu wakeboard boat and keep it at the dock belonging to this property. The lake is so clear, clean and deep- but not too cold for swimming. We definitely fell in love with Lake Cowichan. We also brought our own canoe and paddle boards and were able to keep these down in the dock area as well. The property has very easy access from the highway to Duncan and to the town of Lake Cowichan itself. The lake house itself was perfect for us. Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. It was a pleasure to stay in. All the amenities you would expect were available. The neighbourhood and neighbours were great. I would not want to change anything about this property and hope to have the chance to do a repeat holiday next year!

A Truly Wonderful Place!

We had a fabulous time during our four week stay in July - Aug 2014. The home is located in a great part of the lake, and we enjoyed walks and scooter rides on the quiet street, and excellent swimming and tubing...we even watched the Perseid meteor shower from the upper balcony! The home is clean, comfortable, modern and has a very well equipped kitchen. The owners were fantastic to deal with: friendly, efficient and answered any and all our questions in a timely manner. We were sad to leave and would definitely stay here again!

Such a great place to get away

We booked the house for a month in April. We were looking for a quiet place by the lake, where we could enjoy lots of outdoor activities and still find decent coffee close by. The coffee ended up being a stretch, but the rest was fabulous, perfect! The house has just about everything you need and the owners were great to deal with, they really made it so easy to enjoy their house. The property is an easy 25 minute drive into the centre of Duncan. If you are into hiking, biking, running, there are so many options in this area you will never be bored. If you just want to chill out at the house, this is very easy to do as well. I greatly enjoyed a morning tea on the dock. The neighbourhood is very friendly and is a very safe place for kids to run around. The house itself is set up really well for children. If you have problems climbing stairs, this is not your ideal property, unless of course you are just happy to sit back and enjoy the lovely view. There is a transport bus that can be picked up from Lake Cowichan that takes you into Duncan if you are without a car, but I would suggest a car is necessary for a stay at this property. I do hope that we are fortunate enough to spend another month at this great house.
