Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cowichan Lake

We were lucky enough to get to meet Emma as the guest suite is located in the bottom floor of her family home (also with your own private parking and patio/garden space). Emma is so warm and friendly. We loved having the chance to chat and appreciated the helpful local recommendations on walking/biking in the area (Bald Mountain is just down the road, we also hired bikes from Cycle Therapy in Duncan for the Cowichan Valley Trail and ferry to Salt Spring Island from Crofton was also within 45 minutes drive). We saw beautiful elk and even a bear(!) hiking in the local area. The space is very large and well put together with all amenities you need and a wood fired sauna (and cold plunge!) that we very much enjoyed after all the exercise.

Truly one of the best Airbnbs we've stay in. The house is better than we could have imagined and lake is even closer than what it looks like in the pictures. My five year old son says his favorite thing(s) about the house is: jumping into the lake, the hot tub, the water play, jumping in the lake, the big couch, the showers, and jumping into the lake... Hoping to come back again!

What a stunning view from a beautiful new space! Everything you could want! Host was very accommodating! Thank you!

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!

Josie was a fantastic host. Flexible, responsive, and helpful in providing local recommendations for an area we were new to. The house and property are beautiful, peaceful, and unique. Can't recommend highly enough!

Fish Tales exceeded my expectations. Denise made sure everything went smoothly

Super relaxing place to stay. Very clean and stocked with top notch amenities.

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 Valley View Suite could have been called “A little bit of paradise” with wonderful views, a clean spacious suite and an obliging hostess. We had a wonderful stay and would return again.

Amazing cute suite! the place was curated with such thought and detail. Good linens and amazing large shower. Very relaxing stay.

Stephen and Esther have thought of everything to make your stay seamless. There were instructions for everything, including operating the appliances (there's even a mini dishwasher!). There were also labels on all light switches, automatic night lights throughout the space, and bedside lamps with both USB outlets and wireless charging on both sides of the bed! They also provided a fantastic and generous selection of coffee and tea. Even after all of this, if I had a question, Stephen and Esther were always super quick to respond. Another huge bonus for me was meeting Pepper, who has to be the quietest, friendliest dog ever!

We loved this place. The view of cowichan bay and the marina are spectacular and cowichan bay in itself may be the cutest place we’ve ever been. Lots of great restaurants nearby and great for just strolling around. Astrid made an earlier check in possible which was great and the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. We felt right at home! Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s ! The suite is close to the the Cowichan Valley Trail ( part of the Trans Canada Trail ) which we cycled for 2 days. Also close to town and restaurants and the famous totems of Duncan. Lots of lovely touches and a very comfortable bed . Would highly recommend Jane’s air bnb .

Great place to stay, beautiful location, perfect for walking your fur baby, safe neighbour hood, relaxing balcony with a great view, simply wonderful experience!

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!

Harley’s place was pure magic. Perfectly situated and very well equipped, we felt right at home for our three-night stay in Port Renfrew. The views are even more breathtaking than the photos suggest, with tons of natural light spilling through the entire apartment. We were blown away by the wildlife sightings from the balcony and spent hours with the binoculars taking it all in. We would happily return to Harley’s property in the future.

My group (4 adults) had a fantastic stay at Wayne's apartment. The apartment was spacious, well equipped (women's hygiene products, bathrobes, etc.), and very centrally located. Wayne was also very helpful in fulfilling a few of our requests such as providing us with a fan and an early check in. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable, central place to stay in Victoria.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Conveniently located and overlooking the water, the apartment was very well appointed, clean and very cozy. On a cold evening, we enjoyed warming our feet by the outside fireplace. We’d recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend some time in Port Renfrew.

Thank you very much. The host was very responsive with the text messages and very helpful.

Extremely clean, enjoyed the modern finishes and open plan. Arrive when there’s daylight, it’s not easy to spot the condo in the dark.

Place was gorgeous, Iris was a sweet and responsive host. We will be back again 100%

This place is so clean and comfortable. The host is super helpful providing tipis and instructions. Nice area to walk around for food and shopping. Easy to get around taking trains too. We love it!!

This was a wonderful condo - clean, exactly as represented, super close to everything (close views of the Empress, Parliament building, and bay were beautiful day and night). I loved all of the natural light coming in from the walls of windows, and we were high enough that we didn’t feel like people could just peek in. The hosts were responsive and very helpful. Because of great security in the building, checkin was a little trickier than in other Airbnb’s that we’ve stayed in, but the hosts walked us through it very well. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay, very conveniently located. Leslie was great, she provided laundry supplies when we mentioned that we might need to do laundry when there
