Extremely comfortable suite. All the comforts of home. The hosts made sure I had everything I needed, and then some. Exceptional overall. I would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you very much.
This is a beautiful and incredibly well stocked unit. We stayed for 4 days and loved it. Our host was very responsive and provided great ideas for restaurants and things to see. We will be back the next time we visit Lake Cowichan!!!

Spacious, comfortable, immaculate, private, modern furnishings, well stocked kitchen, close to what we wanted to do. I recommend this property.
A sparkling diamond set in the lush forests & lakes of the Cowichan Valley. The cottage is the ultimate destination spot you want to keep to yourself. From the ultimate comfort of the down filled duvet & crisp linens of the bedroom to the high end appliances of the kitchen & bathroom, not one detail has been overlooked. The incomparable design of the black on black kitchen cabinetry & tile, complimented by the copper fittings make this space one of a kind. The lovely host Shyla ensures you will lack for nothing in this beautiful oasis. I will be rebooking soon & early!!
Amazing host and beautiful suite. Host went above and beyond with bubbly water, chips, and fresh cherries when we arrived. Soaps were from Salt Spring Island, which is one of my favourites. I will definitely be coming back here!
The unit was very clean, beautifully decorated and provided all the comforts of home. The bed was very comfortable, the coffee maker was put to good use and the bathroom toiletries were great quality. Short walk to main street. Hosts paid attention to detail and were wonderful to deal with. Looking forward to our next stay!

This space was absolutely perfect! A beautiful studio-esque space that feels gigantic!! Stunning decor, everything is new and gorgeous! Shylo is the kindest host, and welcomes you in with open arms!

Private Cottage - Very Cute - Perfect for a Getaway
We really enjoyed our getaway to Cowichan and our stay at the Cottage. The space is beautifully appointed with lots of thoughtful touches that the host has carefully curated. Very comfortable space for us to relax in with everything you might need and more. Close to places to eat and outdoor places to explore. Very nice vibe with great antique pieces that make it unique.
We really like this appartement, it is actually one of the best place we slept for years. Nothing is missing, absolutely all attention to details and spotless clean. All items in this appartement were luxury items. Very quiet and confortable, feels like home. The owner built something high class, really a must. A real must. Thanks to Shylo for this superb lodging.
