Cottage vacation rentals in Cowichan Valley

This cabin is the perfect lakeside retreat, where every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure comfort and relaxation. We had an unforgettable family experience, enjoying the serene beauty of the lake right from the private dock. The hot tub provided a soothing escape, and evenings by the fire pit, complete with provided firewood, created cherished memories.​ As a delightful courtesy, we were able to prepare delicious waffles for breakfast, adding a special touch to our mornings. Thank you for the coffee, softdrinks and snacks also. I highly recommend this place; the host is always attentive and ready to assist with anything you might need. It's an exceptional spot for a peaceful and memorable getaway.​

Stay was nice and relaxing. Lots of beaches to visit in surrounding area and good trails to walk.

We have stayed at this place a few times now and always enjoy our visit. It’s perfect for a big group, has a well stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace and a wonderful hot tub with views of the beautiful yard. Will be back next year!

Wonderful stay for our family of six—great value, lovely home and property, and the hosts were quick to respond to anything we needed!

It was such a chill and cozy spot. The only hiccup we had was with the neighbors. There were five of us just hanging out in the hot tub, chatting and laughing, with the music on at a VERY reasonable volume on a SATURDAY night. Apparently, that was too loud for them, and they even threatened to call the cops! But honestly, the staff handled it great, and it didn’t put a damper on our weekend at all. Besides that, everything went smoothly, and I really enjoyed my time there.

Cozy, clean, well-maintained and well equippedcabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.

This was one of the best and most enjoyable Airbnb stays we’ve ever had. The house offered everything we could ask for in terms of amenities and entertainment. The blankets, towels, and bed linens were impeccably clean and well-organized. The kitchen was beyond fully equipped—we found everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated with antique and vintage items, making it feel like a living museum that we thoroughly enjoyed exploring. One of the most fascinating parts was a little playroom, once belonging to a baby girl years ago, filled with toys from that era. Although we didn’t have a little girl in our group, all the adults couldn’t resist visiting this charming space. Even though our group only used one of the two bathrooms, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely love to stay with this wonderful and thoughtful host again.

We enjoyed our stay at Handsome Dan’s place. Our time in Port Renfrew and the surrounding area was delightful. Highly recommended if you are looking for an adventure on Victoria Island.

Karen's place was awesome! A private little cabin walkable to the ocean, beautiful views within the complex (this is a neighbourhood of other similar cabins), within walking distance to the restaurants and cafes in the area. It was a great launching point for us to go to sombrio, botanical beach and other points of interest in the area. It was comfy, clean and spacious. Easy lock box check in. We'd certainly recommend and stay again.

Lovely property with beautiful surroundings and private dock to enjoy the lake.

Cozy stay :) Jason gave us a heads up that the power in the town was out several hours before our arrival and provided us with updates every hour. He gave us the opportunity to change our plans if needed. We are happy we ended up deciding to still come because the power came back very shortly after arriving. The house heated back up quickly and we had a wonderful time going to some of the places Jason recommended.

We loved this place! Definitely worth it and relaxing. Sean was very attentive and friendly. We are already thinking when to come back!

Julie was a great host, would definitely stay again! We actually did a same day booking because our original Airbnb had to cancel and we were so grateful Julie was able to make it work on such short notice. The place is super cozy and has beautiful views right on the lake. Would love to come back in the summer for another girls trip! Highly recommend.

The place is really nice. Private driveway hides the house. Everything in the house is clean and comes handy. We especially enjoyed the large back yard where my dog played three days of fetch. Would definitely come back in the summer to explore some water activities on the lake.

We couldn’t recommend Kevin’s place enough. Perfect location for a relaxing getaway on the beautiful Salt Spring Island. We felt right at home and the space was perfect for travelling with our dogs. The cottage is clean, spacious, comfortable. Will definitely stay again!

I had a wonderful stay. The aim of my trip was escaping the city and just grounding into nature. The cottage is perfect for that. This is probably the most thoughtful Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at, as in, Lindsay and Curtis have thought of EVERYTHING, even leaving bowls and towels and poop bags for my dog! Having a hot bath in the light rain outdoors at dusk was a unique and beautiful experience. This property is in the absolute BEST location for anyone wanting to use the numerous trails that are super close by. We did a different stunning hike every day and all were 2-15 mins drive from the property. Also didn’t see anyone else on the hiking trails, which I love. The perfect city escape! Lindsay and Curtis are as responsive and attentive as a host could possibly said! But at the same time, despite being on their property, it was very private. I felt safe knowing they were close by and would respond if needed but I still had that feeling of being alone in the woods. The perfect balance!

We found ourselves in town for a family service and Fiona was the utmost kind and supportive host we could have found. The space was absolutely perfect, spotless, serene, and comfortable. It was exactly as described and made a difficult trip much more easy, especially being by the beautiful ocean. We saw a ton of wildlife so the speed limits are absolutely necessary. Thank you Fiona, we will surely be back in the future.

Walk into the postcard perfect nautical setting, with an active marina, seals and herons at home at the end of the private ramp into the water, and the classy well appointed home. We relaxed immediately on comfortable furniture, with West Coast scenery greeting us out of most windows. Spacious rooms in a compact cottage context. Great kitchen.

Lovely, comfortable place right on the water. The views were incredible, and we saw eagles, seals, and orca, deer and so many birds. Incredibly relaxing stay. We were there 2 nights and it was so refreshing that it felt like a week.

We were visiting the island to spend time with our son over the family day long weekend and had a wonderful stay. Such a cozy little cottage surrounded by natural beauty. Very well stocked kitchen and we immediately felt right at home. Lindsay

Enjoy the peace and tranquility this place has to offer. It was so relaxing to stare out at the wonderful bay and see otters play outside on the docks. I will always remember this place and will 100% come back to it. The host is wonderful and responsive and checked in on me various times to make sure we were enjoying our visit. I wish more hosts were like this! Cannot recommend this place any higher!

An amazing, well equipped cabin overlooking a pristine lake. The cabin is central to the island making it ideal to stay at while exploring Salt Spring! We were able to cook a full meal thanks to the thoughtful stocked kitchen and amenities! Ashley was a delight to communicate and even before we left we agreed we'd return someday.

Flavia and jim have an amazing piece of land, and make you feel right at home. We were free to explore the property. Hardest decision was which part we to hang out at next as there are so many options! They were very kind and even invited us to watch the last flight of a WW2 bomber with them and their friends. The nest was a great little spot with beautiful views and was very clean. I would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful place to stay - beautiful view and home, great little town with fantastic food and walks. 10/10
