Vintage Airstream retreat on the Cowichan River

Step back in time without sacrificing comfort in our beautifully restored 1965 vintage Airstream, nestled on 2.5 acres of landscaped paradise along the pristine Cowichan River. Surrounded by towering trees and tranquil nature, this unique getaway is perfect for those seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both.

Enjoy world-class fishing, scenic hiking and biking, and daily visits from local wildlife, all just steps from your door. Spend your days tubing down the river, exploring nearby Lake Cowichan, or discovering the region’s renowned wineries and the scenic Trans Canada Trail.

The Airstream blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort, and the experience continues outdoors with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, perfect for grilling, gathering, and dining under the open sky. Refresh after a day of adventure in the private outdoor shower, surrounded by nature and birdsong.

Whether you’re sipping wine by the firepit or unwinding on the riverside deck with stunning views and the sound of the flowing water, this is where memories are made.

Your riverside escape awaits.

Thanks so much for an amazing stay! We were there 1 night and arrived late, Rob left the lights on and stayed up to ensure we got settled in okay. The airstream is kept in exact condition from the 60s! Highly recommend!

Peaceful getaway

Beautiful property on the banks of the Cowichan river with lovely flowers in bloom and easy access for a chilly dip in the river! The air stream was very comfortable and warm, everything that I needed for a short getaway.

Getaway

Beautiful property, Rob showed us around and told us about the history while we walked by the river and through the yards, the camper itself was cozy yet quite functional and we were only there for the night but would definitely return!

Rob and Sandy were great hosts. The Airstream was well equipped. Bed was queen size and comfy. The outside kitchen with BBQ was great. The rental was very private and quiet, located on the shores of the river. Our only challenge was poor cell phone service. We would come again. A lovely holiday. Thank you Rob and Sandy.

Beautiful Grounds, Well-Equipped Trailer

We had a wonderful time at this property. The hosts were super nice (including Hazel the dog), the trailer was clean and well-equipped, and the grounds are gorgeous. The trailer is located near some beautiful hikes. The hosts provided some little boats to float around in the river. We had a fantastic time.
