Our contemporary west coast property is situated in the pretty lake town of Youbou, BC. The house is situated on top of a high hill overlooking Cowichan Lake. It is an approximately 5-minute walk to the lake or by car 2 minutes. You have a private deck overlooking the lake with a private entrance and bathroom. The suite is large with a sitting area as well as the bedroom area. A bar fridge, microwave and coffee maker is available. Water is provided in the room as well as coffee/tea. We sit on about .25 land with free parking available. I do not accept last minute reservations. I have to have at least 24 hours notice.
We are a retired couple that moved to BC for the beauty and relaxation that the island provides. We enjoy the active life that the area provides with many activities to enjoy. It is a short drive to many areas and we enjoy the lake, mountains and trail.
We are located in Youbou, about a 10 minutes drive to Lake Cowichan. Sunfest at Lake Town Ranch is 10 mins away so we are in an ideal spot for the many concerts that occur in the area. In Lake Cow you can rent tubes and floating devices to float down the river as well as kayaks and paddle boards can be rented on the river. There are many beautiful trails in the area for you to explore as well as the parks such as Arbutus Park in Youbou itself. If you are looking to relax then this is the place for you.
