About this property

Sylvan Meadows Suite - Amazing Rural Views in the heart of Cowichan Valley

Our beautiful one bedroom suite accommodates 2 guests and is located centrally between the villages of Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill. Our property is set in the midst of a valley with working dairy farms, a winery and a cidery - each with their own restaurant, and both within a 15 minute stroll. Our corner of the Cowichan Valley abounds with recreational opportunities - great walking and hiking trails, kayak rentals, fishing charters, water-skiing, golf courses, tennis and pickleball, mountain biking and more! Close by is the seaside village of Cowichan Bay, and Duncan - home to a year-round Farmer's Market. Of course, the Cowichan Valley is famous for its many wineries, craft breweries and distilleries. The vibrant city of Victoria with all of its festivals, entertainments and events, is only a 45 minute drive away.

Enjoy your spacious deck with a breathtaking view of rolling fields and hills to the west, so you capture the gorgeous sunsets as you relax in the evening. Enter through your private entrance into an open, dining, living and kitchen area well-lit by large skylights, situated to enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. The living room is equipped with a SmartTV, WiFi (throughout the unit), books and games. A ductless heat pump offers both air conditioning and heat for your comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and everything you may need for your cooking enjoyment - including your apron! The pantry is stocked for your convenience with complimentary coffee and teas, herbs, sauces, dressings and condiments. The bedroom Queen mattress is a Kingsdown pillowtop for the ultimate sleep. The bathroom boasts an extra large 6' soaker tub and shower unit. A washer and dryer for your own use is tucked into a corner of the bathroom. Laundry soap and dryer sheets are included for your use.

Great location and excellent amenities
Our family of 4 stayed here for a week over Christmas. The unit is in a great location for exploring the cowichan valley (hikes, wineries, etc). The unit was super clean and had great amenities. The bedroom was very comfortable. The living room has a hide a bed. We planned for our kids to sleep in the bedroom since they go to bed earlier. The hide a bed was memory foam so I found it was fine but my husband who is larger did not like it. Something to consider. If you just need the bedroom, the bed is super comfy. Otherwise it was a perfect stay.

Island Gem
What a delightful place! Everything we needed was here, the suite is so beautifully appointed, designed and spotless! The bed is very comfortable! We had everything we needed and more! We definitely recommend this place! ***** stars! We came to visit family for Thanksgiving and explore the area a bit, great having our own space to come back to. Wonderful view out back and we appreciated the heads up for the Elk in the field, very cool! Loved having the fire pit! So much to do in the area! We walked the Malahat skywalk, incredible views from up there! Golfed a couple rounds at Arbutus Ridge. Wineries( loved being steps away from Unsworth Vineyards) hikes, great restaurants, many of your recommendations, We would definitely stay here again!

A very nice place.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything you could need was available and in excellent condition. We didn't need to contact Holly much but when we did, she answered straight away.

Wildfires resulted in us cancelling our Tofino plans and making last minute booking changes to Sylvan Meadows. This was one of the best short term rentals we have stayed at (couple and a 1 year old). The place was super clean, newly renovated, well thought out and has everything you need to be comfortable. Holly went above and beyond with our check in and had lots of great suggestions for family friendly activities. We would stay here again the next time we visit the island.
