Vacation rentals with a kayak in Cowichan Lake

We had the most amazing time. The location is outstanding and the house itself is absolutely beautiful. We can’t recommend it highly enough and would definitely love to come back. Thanks Madi for making everything work so well and for making our trip so special ❤️

Secluded, quiet neighbourhood with water access and great view. Loved the fire pit and kayaks! Be ready to climb up and down the steep steps, however.

Wow, what an incredible property!! We had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, expansive deck, beautiful grounds, and private beach. It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and we hope to return. We were three families with three small children, and it was a perfect place for them to run around. Thank you Don and Kathy for opening your home up to us.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Lindsay's beachfront property. The location is truly unbeatable—nestled right on the coast, with breathtaking ocean views that can be enjoyed both inside and out. Inside, the property is just as impressive. It's thoughtfully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

A beautiful and relaxing place. A few minutes from the city center but with the impression of being in the middle of the mountains in a very comfy spot. Thanks !

We enjoyed a wonderful stay! The view from the sitting room and balcony are exquisite. The hosts were most accommodating. The hiking trails on Mayne are very scenic. Highly recommended!

Our international artists appreciate having clean, comfortable surroundings when they travel, and a place where they can relax off-site from our music festival. They were effusive in their prisse of such nice accommodation. Life can be hard for a touring artists. Their stay here gave them a postive expeirence, which helps our brand as event producers.. - Cowichan Valley Bluegrass Festival

The pictures really don’t do justice to how perfect the view is here- it is amazing!! We saw humpback whales jumping not even 200 yards from the deck, truly amazing! Vahid is also a very great and communicative host. He made sure to let us know when wildlife was in the vicinity. Highly recommend a stay here!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed many of the amenities near and on the property. The outdoor kitchen is well stocked and we cooked most of our meals at the cottage. The location is quiet and view is amazing. We would absolutely stay here again!

A beautiful location - we loved saying here. A great spot to chill and take it the beauty of the Sunshine Coast. We’d love to come back.

This place is a gem! We brought our four small children here (ages 2-7), and it was great for all of us. There were lots of toys and games for them plus non-breakable plates and glasses. We enjoyed relaxing with amazing views from the porch. The kayaks were lots of fun! Such a great, relaxing family vacation spot. Bob is a wonderful host, too! It felt like we stayed at a friend’s beach house.

Lovely stay at Maple Ridge Cottages, cute little cozy space to hangout by the lake. This would be the perfect place in the summer while you can jump into the lake and use the provided water equipment (canoe, paddle-boards) enjoyed the wood burning fireplace at night and cooked our own meals on the BBQ. Only a short driving distance to town.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake-side cottage. The place is right on the lake with amazing views. The interior is super cozy, with comfy couches and beds. It's one of those places where you immediately feel at home. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful. We would love to come again!

One of my favorite airbnbs that I’ve stayed at! It was a magical weekend! The house was very cute and dainty, perfect for a girls weekend. There were beautiful flowers from her garden all throughout the house. There was also a beautiful barrel sauna overlooking the lake. We would have a sauna session then run into the lake and back into the sauna. Then we finished the day with a romantic pizza dinner with the pizza oven being right in the garden area. The lake had a fun slide and diving board which we took full advantage of and we also walked to the local pub which was only a 15 minute walk. There was a beautiful hike right up the road with a fun swing hanging from a tree at the top. It was the perfect girls weekend and I would definitely book this again!

Perfect couple's getaway spot on the Sunshine Coast! The cottage is beautiful - classic rustic design with all the modern amenities you would need. Steps away from the water on a smooth pebbled beach. We soaked up the peaceful sounds of nature and the sea from the porch every day. The property's landscaping is A+! We loved the gorgeous sunsets and dramatic tides (a novelty for Ontario folks!). If you want to feel connected to nature, while still being close enough to towns/Vancouver, this is the place to stay. We loved the easy access to magnificent mountainous hiking trails, and a boat tour out of Egmont (Princess Louisa Inlet is a must-see!). Every night wrapped with a sleep in verrry comfy bed, looking at the stars through the skylight. Stunning! Sue & Gil were fantastic hosts. Very responsive and helpful, and respectful of privacy on the property. We had such a wonderful stay in Halfmoon Bay! Can't wait to get back to this incredible region of BC.

Chris is a wonderful host! Her, Max and Cookie customized our stay of celebration of our daughter’s achievement with balloons and decorations. She offered great recommendations and was so nice to even go kayaking with our teens. She is truly a gem and what makes Airbnb so special and keeps us coming back for our vacations. The home is stunning, rich, nicely decorated, well lighted, the kitchen was well equipped and the furniture was so comfortable. The views from the deck and the home are absolutely breathtaking and there’s nothing like enjoying a cup of coffee and seeing eagles, sea lions and whales. Thank you again Chris, Max, and Cookie for making our first trip to B.C. So memorable.

Trevor’s place was stunning! Took my dad and uncle there to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday, and sitting out on that deck and looking over that gorgeous lake was a moment the 3 of us will cherish forever.

Wonderful space for a weekend getaway. Close enough to all major attractions in Victoria, far enough in the countryside to be able to enjoy some privacy. Stephan was an excellent host, very proactive, prompt, and responsive. 10/10 will definitely recommend this location/host in the future!

This was an amazing place to stay with my husband and infant child. It was the perfect getaway to escape and come back feeling refreshed!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

We had a great experience. We liked our cabin and everything about it. Wifi was a 5 minute walk, as well as bell cell service. It was a nice experience to be off our phones and tablets. We feasted on raw oysters and oyster rockefeller. Our hosts were awesome. The view of the ocean from the cabin is now blocked by trees. Definitely want to go back.

Amazing stay at Leah’s for our introduction to Salt spring. It was the perfect place for a getaway and had everything we needed during our stay. Thank you!

Gorgeous cabin on a stunning lake that was wonderful to swim in even in October! The cabin was very comfortable, extremely well equipped and modern. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This is a dream cabin, it’s wholesome and cozy. We loved the location and being right on the water with a dock and a deck. The sauna was easy to use and it heated up quickly. There is a farmers market within walking distance with live music. The cabin was everything we wanted for a weekend away. We hope to be back someday soon!
