We had a spacious fenced terrace that opened to nature, and we even watched a bear while eating our dinner. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The best part is that this place is far from the noise and light pollution of the cities, surrounded by nature sounds, yet it is still a very short drive to Lake Cowichan village. ##### Inha Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Murray 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely place. ##### Murray Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth S. 5 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place This is a lovely property and has all possible amenities .
