Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Cowichan

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!

We absolutely loved our stay!!! Willow cottage is such a sweet home away from home! It was clean, private peaceful! We will definitely be recommending our friends! Would 100% rebook for future trips! We loved it!!!!!! 😁

We had a great stay. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing, with great views. The bed was super comfortable and the place was equipped with everything we needed. Jacquie's a great host, very friendly and kind, and had great suggestions for what to do on the island. Would definitely go again.

This spot is great if you just want to relax,which is all we wanted.But if you want much more youbou isnt for you. House was quite clean,they have a coffee maker,blender,some spices other guests have probably left behind.They have towels but theyre not bath towels.Small like hair towels & you cant bring them to the water.I would bring your own as this was our biggest pain.For me not as much-im 5'2 but my husbands 5'11 & his towel was soaked just from drying his legs after the hot tub because theyre small&thin.The bed in the front room is VERY creaky & you do hear it all night even just rolling over.They have an awesome projector screen,sound is a bit tricky but its a cool experience.Not fully fenced but still quite private.Its about a 10 minute walk to the water,Bring water toys! People are generally nice & say morning but a confederate flag in the area which made us feel a bit ick.Theres 1 general store,1 pub,1 gas station &2 parks& thats it so supply before arrival!Wonderful Stay!!

Hugh and Deb's place worked out great for us. We were visiting family nearby. The place was spotless, extremely clean and tidy. The hot tub was a nice bonus that we enjoyed. They were responsive hosts to any questions.

We found this cute Airbnb just up the road from where our son was getting married. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was perfect.

This Kinsol cottage is well worth the price, and is entirely private, unlike most Airbnb rentals in Vancouver Island, which are suites in someone’s house. It was clean and well designed. As an avid Airbnb booker I really appreciated that Liz had all the condiments and spices you would need for a trip away from home. The backyard is peaceful and we had no neighbours while we were there. We enjoyed the hot tub and the sound of the birds, we even had an owl land in the yard. The bedroom loft has steep stairs, which is noted in Liz’s description, you should go down them sideways (we were fine, but probably not suitable for elderly). The bed was firm yet very comfortable and the reclining loveseat had us falling asleep every night. One hour to Victoria, one hour to Nanaimo, 1 3/4 hour to Port Renfrew (if you take the Pacific Marine route be prepared for a very very windy road). Kinsol trestle was a 10 minute walk away and an amazing hike. Would I recommend Liz’s cottage, absolutely!!

The little house on Pender was perfect for our stay. Rode our bikes on to the ferry and rode all around the island. Played disc golf and had some amazing food too. Thanks Bettyanne. The hot tub was a nice treat after riding all the hills on pender.

We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place. The hosts are wonderful. The layout of the home really lends to gathering with loved ones and this is exactly how the host designed it. My mother-in-law suggested we all have dinner at the cottage and we did. My husband and I love to cook. This is one of the few places I’ve stayed that has aprons in really good handmaids as well as sharp knives. If you’d like to cook in or grill and like being surrounded by beautiful trees and have access to a deep bathtub, then stay here! My husband and I visited family that we don’t get to see too often. This was a lovely place to do that and we plan on telling our other family members about it!

We had a wonderful stay at Louise’s Cottage! very clean, comfortable bed, wood burning stove and thoughtful little welcome note. Home surrounded by greenery and only a short driving distance to town.

Not only is this home luxurious and immaculate, it is a nourishing step back in time where everything is hand-made, lovingly curated, and generously shared. I can’t recommend this little cottage enough. And if you’re blessed enough to walk the gardens, well…delightful doesn’t even come close. I really recommend this stay for a family or anyone looking to slow down and savour a beautiful time.

We really loved this place and will be back again soon. It was everything as described and while we couldn’t find the frogs, the serene garden and pond area was peaceful and relaxing. The hummingbirds were also a delight to watch when sitting out on the deck with the surrounding forest. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need to cook including the extras like spices. Really liked all of the candles in various places, it was so easy to unwind. The location was great too. Nestled in the forest, there was lots of privacy, but only a short jaunt to the grocery store or the beach and the Surf Lodge, which I would recommend. Good food, very good outdoor live music, and unobstructed views of the ocean and sunset while you eat. Gorgeous part of the world.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

Mark and his property were both amazing. The cottage itself was nestled away but still close to everything you would need. Mark was responsive and easy to communicate with during the entire stay. Will most definitely be back!

Gorgeous location, comfortable accommodation, welcoming host--Seal Beach cottage exceeded our expectations and we had a fabulous weekend. Thank you for the warm welcome, Lois!

We had a wonderful 5-night stay at Poirier Cove. The location is magnificent, right on the seafront. We saw eagles, seals, lots of small birds - even a hummingbird. There are lots of lovely provincial parks nearby with great walks. We particularly enjoyed walking on the Galloping Goose trail to the Todd Creek trestle bridge. Corinne was very helpful and friendly. The cottage was comfortable with huge windows looking over the sea to snow-capped mountains in the USA.

This is a stunning, restful, get away! Would have liked to stay many days. As a horse person I absolutely loved being around them. Bonus to have a piano to play! Comfortable beds, fully functional kitchen and nice to have additional half bathroom. We sat out on the deck in the evening to enjoy the night sky. Attentive hosts. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful home is overlooking Bennett Bay. Enjoy the peaceful bird sanctuary like feel with incredible ocean views for the daily sunrise. Amber is kind and very responsive. Don’t miss out on this amazing place ! We’ll be back soon.

This was one of my favourite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed! The photos do not do it justice. The cabin is beautiful and cozy. Our favourite part of this stay was the two border collies that followed us around we absolutely adored them. The skylight above the bed at night with the stars was unreal.

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.

The Hygge is a peaceful gem! The neighbourhood of cottages is so quaint and picturesque! As soon as you walk in the doors the smell is lovely and the design is beautiful! Comfy beds, soft linens and towels. We loved the long kitchen table, the yoga mats to use, the sound of the river coming from the backyard! I could go on! We had a lovely stay!

Megan and Adam were fantastic hosts during the course of my stay. Their cabin resides a top of a rocky hill, surrounded by mature trees and views to the Olympics on the far horizon. The furnishings were comfortable and inviting, creating a relaxing atmosphere inside. The cabin is conveniently located close to the beautiful East Sooke park and the cute little village of Metchosin. If you're looking for a relaxing, tranquil, environment, away from the hustle and bustle, then this place is for you.

Lovely stay at Maple Ridge Cottages, cute little cozy space to hangout by the lake. This would be the perfect place in the summer while you can jump into the lake and use the provided water equipment (canoe, paddle-boards) enjoyed the wood burning fireplace at night and cooked our own meals on the BBQ. Only a short driving distance to town.

This has to be my favourite Airbnb we have stayed in. The cottage itself was stunning, with nice decor, comfortable furniture and everything we needed for our weekend getaway. The large windows provided lots of natural light and an amazing view to the ocean. What I loved most is that we were surrounded by nature listening to the birds and watching the deer grazing right outside the windows. This has been such a peaceful and serene experience! Susanne is such a lovely and helpful host! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!
