Wake up to breakfast and coffee

Included essentials make mornings extra easy.
*Contract workers + rowers welcome!* Nestled in the heart of the Cowichan Valley (Van Island's best kept secret) nature abounds at this bright, peaceful + centrally-located sanctuary. 5 min drive/40 min walk to Duncan’s adorable downtown + famous Saturday market, and 3 min walk to beautiful Quamichan Lake to sip your coffee while eagle-watching, or catch the Canadian Olympic Rowing Team practicing. Included is a simple granola breakfast, to help power you up for your adventures!

The space
This pet-free suite is approximately 600 sq ft, and features climate-controlled central heating and A/C to keep you cozy in winter, and cool in the summer. It is a separate suite with private back entrance and keypad, located on the lower level of a single family home on a spacious lot. Only your two quiet hosts live above.

The suite's large master bedroom features a dreamy pillow-top Queen bed, closet, dresser and private work station. The living room couch opens into a comfy, new IKEA futon with pillow-top Queen mattress which sleeps an additional 2: perfect for kids or groups traveling together. The kitchenette is well-supplied with fridge, freezer, toaster, large toaster oven, microwave, crock pot, dish washer, cooking supplies, coffee maker, kettle, small rice cooker, coffee, tea and basic pantry items. A simple granola, fruit and yogurt breakfast is included for the first week of your stay!

Lake Quamichan is our beautiful lake next door overflowing with wildlife, however, swimming is not allowed due to algae overgrowth. Paddling, electric boating and catch/release fishing are welcome, however, and there’s a beautiful new small-craft launch that makes entry easy.

Please note:

- This suite is small, simple, and well stocked: ideal for those here for the purpose of adventuring, working, and resting at the end of long days out. If you are looking for a luxury place to spend a lot of time inside, this may not be the right space for you.

- There is no oven or range in-suite for cooking bigger meals, however, guests are welcome to use ours upstairs once a week for meal prep if needed.

- You will find zero discrimination in this home. Service animals are most welcome.

- Parents be advised: While kids of all ages are always welcome, at this time baby equipment, toys and toddler-proofing of the suite or property is not offered.

Guest access
Guest access is through your own private entrance with keypad lock.
