Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Cowichan Lake

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

hôtes très accueillants dans une belle maison avec une magnifique vue ! je recommande !

Mary Lou is an amazing host who has thought of every little detail and has a beautiful house that looks exactly like the pictures. I can thoroughly recommend Sooke and Mary Lou’s house.

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Fantastic time here! Private getaway cabin with a unique outdoor sauna made this place extra special. Comfortable beds, and great space. We plan to come again :)

The Piper's Nest was perfect. Clean and well maintained and welcoming. The hosts were responsive and polite, and even though they live on the same property, it truly felt like the Nest was out own, tucked away in a private corner of the forest. Very well designed for relaxation and comfort. Thanks!

What a wonderful spot! Gorgeous views, quiet and serene, a perfect home base to explore the whole island. The kitchen was great for cooking, and we enjoyed several meals on the deck, listening to the birds and taking in the views. Lisa was a great host, and even though her house was nearby, it felt very separate. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to return on future visits to the island!

From initial booking to arrival Angie was very communicative and helpful. The property was better equipped and more luxurious than the vast majority of hotels we’ve stayed in and we were somewhat sorry that we were only there for one overnight stay. A deer and her fawn greeted us on the long driveway up to the property but sadly we didn’t see them again. Had we stayed longer I’m sure we could have made use of the bbq and/or firepit or well equipped kitchen. Angie also supplied a small carton of milk and some home made granola which was great and a nice touch. Can’t comment too much on the area as we weren’t there long enough. Great views from a lovely place and a great host!

Lydia's place was great for us! So clean, had everything we needed, perfect location. She's very easy to reach anytime and a lovely person. As noted by others there is construction nearby and ambulances bc of nearby hospital but it's only in the day and we got pretty used to it. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed so unless you need quiet all day and won't be going out I wouldn't hesitate to book this lovely place.

We had a nice weekend getaway and definitely caught some R&R at Jane’s place. It was a wonderful retreat and very cozy. We’d love to book again if we’re ever back in the area.

I had a great time staying at the garden suite! Everything was beautiful, private, cozy and clean. My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time, the location was great and close to Kitsilano beach and restaurants! Sarah is a great host!

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

Wer Ruhe sucht, gerne in der Natur ist und nur einmal die wunderbare Aussicht aufs Meer genießen will, ist hier genau richtig. Das Apartment ist großartig, mit allem ausgestattet und der Ausblick vom Balkon atemberaubend schön. Man kann Robben und Weißkopfseeadler beobachten. Und mit ein bisschen Glück vielleicht auch einen Wal 🐳 sehen. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

All the comforts home packaged up into a clever tiny space. We loved everything about this place. Within minutes and even a bike ride from everywhere we wanted to be. We rented bicycles from the nearby Trek store and toured around the coast and dt. Highly recommend! Meals were a mix of eating out at nearby places and cooking in the space. We had everything we needed. Chris was so kind and gave is the perfect amount of attention. We highly recommend this space.

Great host great place

Sophia was a wonderful host and communicated very well. The basement suite is nestled in the woods along a beautiful tree line and creek, tended to with spectacular flowers. The neighborhood is calm, quiet, and private though a bit removed from local amenities (supermarket ~20 min walk with hills, playground ~15 min walk with hills); we called uber/lyft for most things but having a car would have been ideal. The suite was clean, comfortable, and highly functional for our group. The living areas and bedrooms were spacious and there are 2 bathrooms which is a HUGE win. We loved sitting on the back patio on the lounge furniture, underneath their electric heater, listening to the birds and the creek passing by. If there is one con you need to be aware of here, it is the lack of proper kitchen: expect a small mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, water-boiler, keurig, utensils, and cups; we knew about this ahead of time and still felt like we got all our value from our stay.

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

A sharp modern glass tree house with a butterfly roof surrounded by trees - that makes for a comfortable stay & peaceful positive energy. We very much enjoyed the home and setting. Walls of glass floor to ceiling make it bright & a sense of light energy too. The landscaping is well done so that is nice on the eyes also. On our trip there happened to councide with very early morning & all day heavy machinery construction right next door, even on the Easter holiday. However that does not change my 5 star review. The place itself was excellent. The construction will be temporary + not always heavy machinery. And soon it will end. I just mention this so renters can get more certainty on what will be happening during the days they book. I highly recommend this rental it's a perfect place for 2 people and has a 2nd bed open to the main area that extra family could sleep in. We used that bed in the main room as a cozy place to read. Great master BR giant windows out to trees.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Great location, lots of space, three king sized beds, two separate living room spaces, and a very well-appointed home. There are lots of instructions to guide newcomers to the home, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet with lots of parking space right in front. Alice was always very attentive from the moment we booked to when we checked out. We would definitely return.

Beautiful place!! Amazing property, very clean and Billy was easy to coordinate with when needed

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.

We have stayed here 3 times now and each time it’s been wonderful. Hosts are super communicative and responsive. They keep a beautiful home that is perfect for families. Love staying here!
