Cozy Cabin Stay

This cabin in the woods is PERFECTION. This is not like other rentals. Marcie didn’t go to i-kea and buy a bunch of rental fluff. The decor in this place makes it feel SO homey, I was absolutely in love. There are board games and two great outdoor spaces. We got farm fresh eggs in the morning and the animals on property are the sweetest! You can definitely hide away here for a few days. There are lots of sights nearby though! We checked out Robertson River Falls, Gordon Bay Beach, and Skutz Falls. Incredible views within a pretty short drive. Would definitely stay again!!

Secluded escape

This gem offers a beautiful, relaxing environment. We were pleasantly surprised by the cozy, cottage feel of the home with all the amenities. We were welcomed by friendly pups and loved exploring the property and visiting the chickens. Waking up in nature and listening to the song birds was a treat! The property is close to town yet tucked away and the owner is very friendly and accommodating. We had a fantastic weekend!

Amazing experience. Beautiful little cottage. I really enjoyed the way the place is decorated with tons of island history and culture. It was a bit too close to a couple of the neighbors for a true cabin in the woods feel. Very friendly respectful people though. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

About the host

Your host

Born and raised on the island, I truly enjoy homesteading, being out in nature, foraging, hiking and spending the hot summer days next to the lake. I love sharing our beautiful slice of Paradise with people, and hope they enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

We live in a special little off the map community. Just 2 minutes from down town Lake Cowichan but feels like your smack dab in the middle of no where, surrounded by 100's of acres of forested land. Walking distance to Lakes, hiking and biking trails. You can experience free ranging animals while here, wild and domestic, furry and feathered of all kinds.
