2 Bedroom House in North Cowichan, Duncan

Centrally located between Victoria and Nanaimo, we are minutes from the ocean near beautiful Maple Bay, and situated on Mount Tzouhalem which has some of the best mountain biking and hiking trails on the island. This new suite has a private 500 so ft outdoor patio area and natural gas BBQ. It is a one of a kind find.

Whether it’s swimming in the ocean, whale watching or renting a kayak, our close proximity to the ocean will ensure you will never be bored. If water is not your thing, walk out the door and across the street to enjoy hiking or biking trails from beginner to expert level. Or perhaps take a short drive to one of the fantastic 4+ star rated golf courses near by. We are surrounded by BC’s finest wineries, markets, live entertainment, shopping and a vast array of restaurants for every taste and budget. Whether you are here for an event or a vacation, we have it all.

Please note the second bedroom is an additional cost of $100 per night. (Note: if you require only one bedroom, the second one will not be rented to anyone else during your stay). Located in the lower level of our new custom home, the full above ground walk out has scenic views and breathtaking sunsets.

The suite includes a full bathroom with a rainfall shower, hair dryer, fluffy towels and all the toiletries you might need. We have a fully equipped kitchen area with an apartment size fridge, microwave, coffee maker, double hotplate, Breville convection toaster oven, blender, toaster, milk frother and more.

The large main bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and a television with Netflix, Prime, HBO, Crave and a cable package plus the most amazing morning views to wake up to. The second bedroom has a comfortable queen size pillow top bed with another amazing view and a walkout to the deck. Both bedrooms have large closets and plenty of storage in the form of cabinets and armoires. In this almost 900 SF suite there is a large private family room with comfortable leather recliner chairs, a leather recliner couch, a 46 inch TV with cable, Netflix, Prime, HBO, Crave and unlimited high speed internet access.

When you arrive you will be greeted with a bottle of wine, a loaf of fresh baked bread and home made preserves from local picked fruit.

The nightly rate is for one bedroom and two people. If you wish to book the second room, there is an additional $100 fee per night. We have a maximum capacity of four adults per night. Property is not suitable for young children or pets.

During the last two years, there has been a new subdivision being built in the many acres of land behind our home. There may be construction on these homes during your stay but they are respectful to work within normal work hours and trying to keep noise to a minimum.We look forward to having you visit us and stay in the place we love to call home.

Summary: It all starts with a perfect view over the lake and valley, beautiful landscaping, private patio and continues inside with fresh homemade bread and a welcoming bottle of wine. The beds were comfortable, the decor very tasteful, like home! The kitchen was nicely outfitted and little touches like the tech plugs and chocolates beside the bed were very thoughtful. Hope to come back and stay soon! Our hosts were very welcoming and provided a very comfortable, thoughtful stay!

Summary: Karen and John are the best hosts I've experienced with VRBO. We were getting in very late from the US East Coast and they graciously allowed us to check in at 2AM after a long flying day. We were greeted with a homemade loaf of sourdough bread (got a second later in the week) and a nice bottle of wine. The inside of the "apartment" was the perfect size, although we spent most time outside on the beautiful porch enjoying the views while eating breakfast each day, and even napped a couple days out there. The views of Quamichan Lake, Maple Bay, Salt Spring Island, and the various mountain peaks, to include Whistler to the north were just awesome. Karen & John offered many dining and sightseeing opportunities. We experienced the Duncan Saturday Farmers Market and the Ganges Tuesday Farmers Market on Salt Spring Island. Lots of local food options and music. Would definitely visit again, but maybe with a less hectic flight schedule. :-)

Summary: The place was comfortable and inviting while offering a beautiful view of Lake Quamichan and the mountains. The owners were so kind and accommodating. The place was extremely well-stocked. They had everything you need, from spices to teas to extra toothbrushes if needed! We were so impressed by the thoughtful details. Comfortable king-sized bed, clean, and quiet. Great for mountain biking access.

Summary: I was drawn to stay here and now I know why! Karen and John are lovely people! We came to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and some work for me as well. We were surprised with wine, champagne, a beautiful card, homemade bread and other goodies! They went above and beyond! The king bed is so comfortable too!! Amazing views and beautiful lanai! We definitely will be back!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hosts have thought of everything - from chocolates beside the bed to comfy blankets for lounging to extra toothbrushes to puzzle books.
