Summary: The cottage is uniquely and beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. We had a spacious fenced terrace that opened to nature, and we even watched a bear while eating our dinner. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The best part is that this place is far from the noise and light pollution of the cities, surrounded by nature sounds, yet it is still a very short drive to Lake Cowichan village.
