3 Bedroom Cabin in Youbou

Welcome to the Elk Cabin on the Lake!
Escape the hustle of the city in this beautiful waterfront custom timber home nestled on an acre of Lake Cowichan's east shoreline. Soak up the sun with the 180 degree exposures and watch the sun drop behind the Seymour Mountain Range from the private beach. Enjoy swimming off the private dock or wading into the water from the beach. Explore the lake via kayak, paddle board or peddle boat available for use.
You will have the entire home to yourself. The cabin has two floors. The main floor has 2 bedrooms (1 XL Double, 1 Queen) and 1 bathroom. The kitchen, dining and living room are also on the main floor. You can access the expansive outdoor deck from the main floor. On the 2nd floor there is a 3rd bedroom (1 King) with an Ensuite. There is also a wonderful loft area with chairs and a futon to relax and read a book or a sleeping option for kids.
Outside, the property has lots of area to play outdoor games, sit around the campfire or access the water from our private beach and dock. Enjoy dinner on the large outdoor deck or relax and grab an afternoon nap on the outdoor couches and loungers.
When it comes time to relax indoors, warm up by the fireplace and the cozy living room with popcorn and whatever your latest Netflix interest may be!
The cabin is fully off-grid but has many modern conveniences including Starlink Satellite Wifi; low impact solar power with backup generator; triple-filtered mountain spring water supply; propane heat, hot water and appliances. Being off-grid of we aim to minimize our impact on the environment so we do not have laundry machines. The closest laundry is 15 mins away.
We affectionately call it our Elk Cabin due to the amazing Roosevelt herd Elk that love to roam around the area - keep an eye out for them!
We look forward to welcoming you!
Jake and Johanne

Summary: Very lovely location surrounded by forested mountains. Has both beach (a little rocky) and a floating dock, both with spectacular views. Very nice property with a pretty loft area.

Summary: An amazing cabin in a beautiful location. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything you need, and that view! Although the elk were at the other end of Youbou during our stay, the resident rabbits and birdlife kept us entertained. The only small criticism is having to take all rubbish away on departure which we thought should be part of the service. Overall the perfect tranquil end to a hectic 4 weeks on the west coast of North America.

Summary: We had a wonderful two weeks at Jake and Johanne’s cabin on Cowichan Lake. It was a great base for exploring the area and the cabin was spacious and well stocked. The kids really enjoyed the pedal boat and the shallow water. The hosts gave very clear instructions for check in and were quick to respond when we had questions. We hope to come back!

Summary: The place was absolutely perfect for us. Lots of room to sleep everyone and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for eating and hanging out. The huge lawn was great for games and we made good use of the fire pit at night. Would definitely stay there again.

Summary: Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. Things we especially enjoyed during our Thanksgiving weekend stay included: lake swimming, paddle boarding, pedal boating, lounging on the deck, and star gazing. We really appreciated the care and responsiveness of our hosts when an issue arose, and all was very quickly and satisfactorily. Many thanks!
