This beautiful custom built home on the waterfront of Lake Cowichan, is situated on a large, professionally landscaped property. With 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms this is the perfect, spacious setting for a couple of families to vacation together. The interior is very tastefully furnished to make you feel right at home from the moment you set foot inside - you may not want to leave. If you would like to bring your boat with you, there is a large, private dock and boat house. And for the kids, there's a great sandy beach with easy water access and a protected swimming.
On the days you're not out exploring the Cowichan Valley, take advantage of a dip in the lake. Then after all the BBQ'd steaks and refreshments have been enjoyed, roast some marshmellows at the firepit while everyone shares their stories of the day's activites. As the day fades, take in the amazing western sunset while sipping on that last glass of Cowichan Valley wine....
If everyone is still up for a bit of activity, how about challenging them to a game of pool on the beautiful pool table in the recreation room, or a spirited game of hockey on the 'bubble hockey table'.Should the weather not be cooperating, curl up in the living room in front of the beautiful floor to ceiling, river rock fireplace and read that book you don't normally take the time to read, or simply take in the spectacular views of the lake from the large lakefront windows.
Maybe fishing and wildlife are what attract you to this area, well, you've come to the right place! Inquire about fishing and wildlife excursions for your visit here [fee may apply].
