Amazing location

Such a beautiful spot! Great views of the lake, short walk to the dock, quiet location yet only 5 minutes from the main grocery store in town. Our young children loved greeting the chickens when they weren't spending time on the lake dock. Lovely hosts and suite. Will definitely look into booking again next trip to Lake Cowichan.

Nice getaway

The suite was clean, had all the kitchen amenities we needed. Wayne is a great host. We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the morning and on the lawn in the evening. Close enough to town to not be a pain to go to town. It’s an absolutely gorgeous setting and stunningly quiet.

A lovely lakeside end to the summer!

Water was crystal clear and especially enjoyed watching the passing boats cruising up and down during the sunsets. The cool air of the suite was welcome during the hottest time of the day, combined with the sun-soaked view of the lake made for a lovely time.

Beautiful lake getaway

This was our first time staying at the property and won’t be our last! The suite has everything you could need for a comfortable stay and you can’t beat the view or the floating dock. We are a family of 3 with a teen and it worked really well for us. Wayne & Susan are wonderful hosts and provide so many thoughtful touches to make you feel at home. Like the fresh egg delivery from their chickens to the outdoor games and water toys. The lake is so beautiful, it’s just the perfect vacation spot.

Amazing Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Wayne’s beautiful suite. It was well appointed with everything we needed. The patio was lovely in the morning for coffee and playing games in the evenings. The dock was perfect for soaking up the sun or shade. And nothing beats a dip in the lake. And last but not least the fresh eggs were a nice touch! Thank you for the much needed long weekend away. We will return.
