Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Cowichan Lake

We had a wonderful stay! We loved that there are trails accessible by foot from the cabin. (Just walk up the gravel road about 3 minutes.) We discovered that a great morning routine for us was to have coffee, walk through the forest, enjoy the morning light on the ocean, and head back to the cabin for breakfast. Peaceful and relaxing :) Henny is a great host. She shared a ton of wonderful information about places to go and yummy restaurants on the island. The cabin itself is cozy, charming, and quiet. The bed is comfortable, a high priority for me! We also appreciated that we could bring our dog and that she could be off-leash in the grassy area around the cabin.

Absolutely stunning location - saw loads of wildlife from the terrace, and an amazing view over the water. Property was also very well supplied with a super modern kitchen and ample bed and bath space. Will be back!

We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

Sky House exceeded our expectations in every way! Stunning, private location with incredible views of the water and forest. The house provided a lot of sleeping options and we enjoyed the pool table and board games. Close to hikes and trails and just a 45-minute drive from Victoria. A truly ideal, secluded vacation getaway in a gorgeous area of Vancouver Island.

We had a great stay! It’s the perfect spot for exploring the area and coming home to after a day of outdoor adventures. The hot tub, the big and well-stocked kitchen and lots of space to lounge.

My only comment is that is was very hard to find the place especially in the dark. Google maps took me to a neighbouring house and it was very confusing. That being said I didn’t fully ready the hosts instructions so she may have mentioned that! Wonderful place though, we would definitely stay here again.

Very easy to find and to check in. Really appreciated the tidiness and the welcoming with the music. We enjoyed our stay 10/10 and would definitely return. We are really thankful to be there

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!

This was our second year staying at Jonahs place. We had the best time and can't wait to come back next year!

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.

Very nice hosts! Gone above and beyond to help us with everything. Will definitely recommend and go to this place again! Very friendly and polite

Beautiful home just as described! Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Space was rented for a few employees who were working on the area, it served its purpose!

This house is very grand and a great stay for multiple families. Our family had a lovely stay and would recommend Mejbien’s place.

Very nice place on top of the hill with an amazing view. The place could easily accommodate 12+ people with room to spare. The place is a bit run down but everything was functioning for us.

Jack’s place was great, very clean, peaceful, and quiet. The hottub was awesome, and the kitchen and tv’s / speakers and all equipment was very easy to use. All instructions were super clear. We made lots of use of the pool table! We will be coming back for sure

Very intimate and personal retreat like setting for alone time or couple time. Very much a time away from home to a place dating back in time to humble beginnings. Want to go deep into meditation, then this place is tranquility. Interesting people, who embrace heart consciousness. Thank you Ekta and husband Shafia Jamodien and Beverley Pather

We spent two nights at Shannon’s place and had a wonderful experience. The property looked exactly like the photos, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time—playing games, sitting around the fire, and relaxing in the hot tub. Shannon was very responsive. On the morning of our check-in, I reached out to let her know about a small change in our plans—we needed a crib and high chair. She replied right away and assured us it was no problem. The kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked—far beyond our expectations. There were plenty of spices, foil, Ziploc bags, etc…

We had the pleasure of staying here and it was so worth it! We arrived at a squeaky clean cabin with amazing views. We had a great time paddle boarding, bbqing and relaxing in the hot tub. The previous guest broke the washer dryer so Ashley was kind enough to do our laundry for us. She's very responsive and very kind and we can't wait to come back and stay there again!

This house was magic. From the second we walked in the door until the moment we left we were blown away. Nothing compared to sitting in the living room in late afternoon with the sun coming through trees. With two of the bedroom spaces requiring ladders, accessibility is definitely a consideration, but for us this was no problem and added to the feel of being in a treehouse. The unit had absolutely everything we needed, and then some. We will definitely be back!

This was a fabulous rental, it was perfect in every way. Every step of this booking was just a great experience, the host was so friendly and fun to chat with and thought of everything a traveller might need. All of the instructions were clear and well thought out, everything was as expected if not better, the place was spotlessly clean and everything was provided for. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, I hope we will get a chance to enjoy your hospitality again, it made for such an enjoyable trip! Thank you so much!

A fantastic cabin in a beautiful, peaceful setting, with great hosts. The cabin has a stunning modern interior with unique and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. The surrounding property and forest are welcoming and serene. The ocean view from both the cabin and hot tub is wonderful. The hosts were responsive, helpful, and effective communicators. Check in was simple and straightforward. I would highly recommend a stay at the cabin for a peaceful getaway.

Shannon’s place is an absolute hidden gem! If you are looking for a serene, tranquil, peaceful location hidden in a forest with tasteful decor and thoughtful touches, this is for you. My husband and I stayed here for part of our 10 year anniversary trip and it did not disappoint. Shannon gave us so many recommendations on things to do and see on the island. We thoroughly enjoyed evening spent at Ruckle park (a short 4 minute drive) where we saw whales and sea lions at sunset. A car is a must, travelling around to various sites would have been a challenge without it. At the cottage, coffee in the hottub was lovely. The outdoor shower is incredible! 10/10 recommend staying at Shannon’s.

Just finished a 2 night stay with my husband and our dog and we had the best time! the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for a home cooked meal the first night. we explored the next day and visited Big Doug. such a cool experience! went down to Botanical Beach then finished the day with dinner at the pub (the fish & chips were so good!). the hottub was such a nice treat at the end of the day too. Jodi and Ian made check in super easy and were always available if we needed anything. can't wait to go back!
