About
Nestled in the heart of the Cowichan Valley - Vancouver Island's best kept secret - nature abounds at this bright, peaceful + centrally located 5-star sanctuary in Duncan, BC.
5 min drive/30 min walk to Duncan’s famously adorable downtown + Saturday market, and 3 min walk to Quamichan Lake to sip your coffee while eagle-watching, or catch a Canadian Olympic Rowing Team practice.
Included is a simple granola breakfast (provided first week of your stay), to help power you up for your adventures.
This pet-free suite is approximately 800 sq ft, and features climate-controlled central heating and A/C to keep you cozy in winter, and cool in the summer. It is a separate suite with private back entrance and keypad, located on the lower level of a single family home on a spacious lot. Only your two quiet hosts Adrianna and Josh live above - no kids or pets other than the occasion family visit.
The suite's large master bedroom features a dreamy pillow-top Queen bed, closet, dresser and private work station. The living room couch opens into a comfy, new IKEA futon with pillow-top Queen mattress which sleeps an additional 2: perfect for kids or groups traveling together. The full kitchen is complete with fridge, freezer, oven, toaster oven, microwave and dish washer, cooking supplies, coffee maker, kettle, small rice cooker, coffee, tea and basic seasonings.
