About this property

Stunning 2BR cottage on Vancouver Island in Natural Adventure Paradise!

  • The fully equipped Cottage is privately located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley and short walk to the Cowichan River and Provincial Park, where nature abounds. From inside the fully fenced yard, seasonally, you can watch Elk herds in the field, Black bears harvesting native berries, or simply enjoy birdwatching, or sit in the hot tub listening to the chorus frogs on an evening. The river boasts amazing hiking trails, cycling routes, swimming, fishing & tubing or you can watch salmon running the Skutz Falls fish ladders. The cottage is the perfect hub to see all things Vancouver Island!
    Please note, for stays longer than 3 nights, the cleaning fee increases to $140 per stay and our nightly price is based on double occupancy, with a $20/night charge for each additional guest.
    The space
    The cottage has a private and peaceful patio for enjoying the sun, sunsets, BBQ’s and wildlife watching. We have recently added a pergola over the patio and a hut tub! Inside the cabin is an open concept living area, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas range, microwave and full size fridge perfect for memorable family dinners. The bedrooms boast brand new beds; comfy queen-size bed in master and double bed in second bedroom, and a newly renovated bathroom with heated shower floor and luxurious rain head shower. The cottage is uniquely decorated with one-of-a-kind, creative design concepts. There is free, strong Wi-Fi and a 60" Smart TV.
    Guest access
    Guests will have full, private access to the cottage via coded entry system and the secure and fenced (approximately 1 acre) yard and the hot tub. There is ample parking for two vehicles and/or recreational vehicles.
    For outdoor fun, there is access to two mountain bikes, two snow shoe sets, a four person pedal boat (seasonally on our main pond) and a regulation size Bocce set. You are also a short walk to the Cowichan River and its world class trails. The Cowichan River is well known for swimming, cycling, tubing, white water kayaking and fishing. Indoors there is a yoga mat, books, games (such as Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Cranium and more), playing cards and puzzles to name a few.
    Other things to note
    The entire property is named "RockBridge" at Skutz Falls for the unique landscaping on the (mostly level and cleared) 5 acre property which prominently features use of the old wooden Skutz Falls logging bridge and the many, many rocks all picked from the property itself. On the property is this cottage, the Main House, Workshops, Sawmill and two ponds. One of the ponds has active jumping Rainbow trout!

Very clean and inviting cottage. Everything we needed was there and functioning properly. Very homey and comfortable. Great place to get away from it all. Hosts are super friendly and approachable. An Elk herd visited the pasture next to the cottage a few mornings. Property is fenced-in, so no fear of wildlife coming right to the house.
Herd of 14 Elk came to visit.

Delightful

Very nice and friendly hosts that own the property. They showed us around. Very clean and well equipped kitchen. Brand new bathrooom. Super close to flyfishing on Cowachian River and great nearby hikes along the river. The morning and evening visits from elk herd were amazing!

The cottage is uniquely and beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. 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.

Wonderful time here. Very well equipped ( better than any place we have been ) accommodation. Hosts were very helpful. Viewing seven elk in the meadow was a special treat. Well worth a return visit.

We loved this little house ! It is really quiet and peaceful here, close to hiking trails and the river…know that you are not at town. That being said, it’s only about a 15 minute drive to town…if you live in the city, it takes way longer to get from point A to point B… This is a lovely, relatively new home, well stocked in the kitchen, with extra towels, bbq, hot tub, games and puzzles for those days you don’t feel like going out or in the evening. Great communication with Julie, her and Allan are great hosts. For anyone driving an EV, there are a number of chargers in Lake Cowichan. I would recommend staying here if tranquility is what you’re looking for !

Lovely, well equipped, clean property & wonderful host. Amazing place to get away from it all, though lack of cell service can pose a bit of frustration when trying to map out destinations. Restaurant options at Lake Cowichan are very minimal and not great, so plan on driving at least 20-30min to find more. The nearby river is SO beautiful and excellent for swims, a river float & hikes.

This is a gem of a property, if you're looking for something quiet, serene, and a little off the beaten path. The cottage is perfect - well-appointed, comfortable, and stocked with everything you need (and some things you didn't know you needed, like a bocce set!). Julie is the consummate host and made us feel so welcome and looked after. We cannot recommend this property highly enough - even though we should't, because we have big plans to come back as many times as we can and would be sad to miss it on our next trip out because YOU booked it! :)

This is our second year at this cottage, and it has become "the place we go". Perfect in every way - quiet, secluded, so well appointed and thought out. An absolutely perfect place to get away from it all and relax in nature. (Also, the hosts are absolute gems!)
