Money well spent
Our family had an incredible 1 week stay at this property. The owners have very clearly planned out every small detail with amenities, and activities for kids. The layout of the house was well designed for families with a clean, modern feel. The lake views from the house (with small Island in the background) were quite possibly some of the nicest on the entire lake. We would definitely love to come back again!

Perfect Lake Vacation
You won’t find a better lake vacation rental! This property has everything you need and more! Justin was super easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed to have a lovely vacation. The kids had endless fun playing with all the toys, swimming, fishing, making s’mores on the fire, and movie nights. There are spots all over the property to relax while supervising the kids. The gazebo was a great hub set up with a fridge and bbq so you don’t need to leave the lake all day. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Vacation Rental
My family along with another family stayed at this vacation rental for 7 nights. We were extremely pleased with all aspects of the house. Upon arrival, it was very clean and well organized. It had an easy to follow manual of the house and what the property had to offer. There were paddle boards, kayaks, a kids playground, kids toys, art supplies, lifejackets, beach toys - everything you need for a family vacation. I would definitely stay at this location again. The owner was very pleasant to deal with and was available if any problem was to arise. The massive Elk that visited every morning and night was a nice touch too. Highly recommend this place.

Another fantastic stay at Island Family Lakehouse
The Island Family Lakehouse is a fantastic home away from home on beautiful Lake Cowichan. This is our second year back. A great vacation like last year - wonderful quiet location right on the lake with all the amenities one needs.

Blissful holiday
Justin's property is just pristine and perfect. Great location on the lake, nicely protected by a small island and gets morning and afternoon sun. Lots of room for 8 people to spread out and enjoy. This was our second summer and we plan to come back!

Why they chose this property

Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and our Lakehouse in Youbou is located on one of the best places on the Island. South facing exposure, the wind coverage from Billy Goat island located in front of the property, the gradual lawn that turns into a pea gravel beach, the gazebo, the fire pit, the dock, the water toys and the fun. This is why we call is the Ultimate Lakehouse Property.
