A+ for comfort and beautiful surroundings

We were very pleased with every aspect of our month long stay at Cowichan Calling. It was cozy on cloudy days and the spectacular views were a bonus on the sunny warm days. Golf is close at hand and the walking trails plentiful. We would highly recommend a stay at this lovely locale

A peaceful stay

The accommodation is very cosy and contains all the little touches that means you want for nothing during your stay. A peaceful area, close to the lake, with a lovely view of the forest. Hope to come again sometime.

Relaxing Getaway

We booked this property looking for a few days of rest and relaxation — and boy did we pick the right place! This was just exactly the quiet place we were looking for. We spent almost all of our time on the property and could not have asked for anything more. Ron and Barb were fantastic hosts and we would recommend this property to anyone. Hoping to return again in the future.

Nice birthday

Beautiful, comfortable, home away from home

Wonderful accommodation. We’ll-deserving of a 5-star rating. The suite is private, completely self-contained, on a very well-maintained property with comfortable outdoor fixtures and lounging areas. Kitchen and bath (and entire suite) are spotlessly clean and roomy. Very comfortable king size bed. The hosts are absolutely wonderful: friendly, helpful, responsive, and living onsite but not at all intrusive during our stay. Will definitely come and stay again!

Well equipped and comfortable

This property was a pleasure to stay at. The one bedroom suite was well equipped and extremely comfortable. The kitchen had all the cooking wear and utensils needed as well as basic spices, sugar for coffee and condiments. This made it feel like a home and not just a hotel stay. There were board games and books available on the unit as well as games outside. I'd be very happy to stay here again on my next trip to Lake Cowichan.

This was a perfect spot for our family and highly recommend. Clean, courteous and well appointed VRBO. Easy access to so many wonderful Island destinations. We spent a few days exploring Cowichan Lake, Honeymoon Bay, Youbou, Maple Bay, Duncan, Hand of Man Museum, Pacific Northwest Raptors, Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit and so much more...

Lovely home away from home

This is a lovely suite, with every amenity you could want, in a great location. It was hot in Lk Cowichan during our stay, but this suite was fresh and cool. The new king-sized mattress that the owners recently added has spoiled us - we may need one of those now in our own place!! Five stars all around. We’ll be back.

Stay at Cowichan Lake

This is a great rental for a couple - king-sized bed was very comfortable! But, my adult son said that the sofa bed was uncomfortable; that's my only issue. Otherwise, the hosts were super, and the rental was awesome.

Wonderful place to stay

Anniversary weekend away and it was great. Did some kayaking/SUP. Went for a swim and had some yummy lunches at Jakes watching all the tubers from the patio. Will come back for tubing soon. Beautiful house with a very comfortable mattress. And a wonderful coffee spot. Will come again and recommend!!!
