Perfect getaway

We filled this house up. 10 adults, 4 kids and there was room for everyone! The property is beautiful. Can’t think of any other place that is right on the lake, and has a private tennis/pickleball court! Hosts have made sure you are never bored. Hockey nets/sticks, basketball, laser tag and games galore. Lots of comfy outdoor seating. We will be back!

Beautiful lake front home.

Brandy was a great host. Very responsive. His home is a big rambling home with a great kitchen and everything you could possibly need. Super big living room and a wood burning fire place. The kids loved the playroom. Tennis court was amazing. Tennis, hockey, basketball, lacrosse were played. Thank you Brandy

Friendsgiving/Xmas Getaway

Crazy amounts of places to sleep and the dock is beautiful. Kids loved having their own room for playing (with tons of toys and games) and then a fully equipped activity court? Amazing.Owner also left thoughtful touches for our New Year's celebration. This place would be insane in the summer with all the deck seating and dock itself!

Wonderful spot

We had a wonderful stay. Youbou and Cowichan Lake are great vacation spots. Beautiful lake and hills. The private dock, tennis court, and beach are all very nice and in good condition. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with even more equipment, essentials, and spare food than noted in the listing. Beds and rooms were comfortable. Plenty of parking.

At the lake

We are a group of quilters. We found there was plenty of room for us to spread out with our sewing machines at the table, or hand sew in the living room. The well equipped kitchen is very spacious with lots of room for several people to work at the same time. The view of the lake from the very comfortable seating on the decks is breathtaking.

Reunion on the Lake

We are an old group of friends who were looking for a spacious property for a weekend getaway. It was absolutely perfect. The house is expansive & amazingly well stocked. Communication with Brandy was excellent. So friendly, quick to respond & helpful. The property was gorgeous. We lucked into a sunny weekend & took full advantage of the deck & tennis court! Great to have so many bedrooms! It may become an annual retreat!!

Fanastic property for large groups with or without children.

Our family was celebrating a number of birthdays. We were three generations and all of us enjoyed the property equally I would say. The host Brandy was fantastic too, as she responded to all our questions, etc. immediately. Further, the property was well supplied with toys, sports equipment and basic food stuffs like condiments, coffee, and snacks that really helped out with our large group. Thanks Brandy, we highly recommend this property and host!

Birthday Celebration

This place is the perfect venue for a large family. We had 10 adults and four little kids and we all slept comfortably. There is so much to do with the tennis court and an amazing dock for swimming and hanging out. The kitchen is really well stocked, with everything you need. There are so many cupboards, it takes a while to find things and remember where to put them back. The view from the deck is beautiful and we saw a huge elk feasting on the fruit trees which was a thrill for everyone. We all had a great time at this amazing property!

Lake Cowichan Vaca

Nice property on the lake. House is very big, lots of space to hide from others. We were not visited by Elk, but evidence was everywhere. No walking in house with shoes on. Our Host was most helpful. The area us central and allowed our family to day trip and explore. Walking trails are a short drive to access, and there are many walking trails. We were here in April. Rainy and cool, but that didn't stop our excursions. Was very quiet on those chill days. House had lots of games, books, toys and TV for us to enjoy. Kitchen was big enough for our gang of 11 to work in and access what we needed. Beds were comfortable and plentiful. Water pressure was great. With 11 people a 3rd bathroom would've been nice, but we managed. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a spot to accommodate a large group. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Brandy Gordon

Host profile image
I am living in Victoria BC and have my whole life. Our family & Family Friend (partner on property) are both in construction and just absolutely love lake cowichan. We purchased this home in early 2020 when covid hit, giving us the opportunity to slow our lives down a bit and really take it all in. We had been looking for a special place on the lake for both our families to spend our summers and available weekends making memories, hosting fun events and spending time outdoors together, and truly showing our kids that amazing 80-90s childhood we had. When we aren’t using our Lakehouse, we are spending our time at our kids sports and traveling the world as a family. Our Lakehouse is truly the only place we have ever grown attached to as a home.
We recently started taking on VRBO rentals at our Lakehouse when we aren’t using it so someone can enjoy it as much as we do. It’s truly a special place to be.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this home for the large waterfront property and ever expanding home that could fit both of our families comfortably. The extra cabin gives us the opportunity to invite our family members over without having them encroach on our Personal space. This home having the large tennis court for the kids to play didn’t hurt either!

What makes this property unique

Full size tennis court, with built in basketball hoop, extra pickle ball set , hockey nets, lacrosse nets, rebounder.
Private large dock for multiple boats
Large lakefront property with small sandy beach area.
We are a large family so we have so many amenities for groups with babies, toddlers, kids, teens and adults.
An extra sleeping cabin with 2 small bedrooms for added room and privacy.
