Cozy rancher close to hospital and all amenities

Centrally located between Victoria and Nanaimo, we are minutes from the hospital, Queen Margaret’s School, Berkey’s Corner, downtown, Averill Creek Winery, and downtown Duncan. We are situated near Mount Prevost which has some of the best biking and hiking trails on the island. This newly renovated property has a covered patio area which overlooks the the yard and mature fruit trees.

The ocean, lakes and rivers are all within a 15 minute drive of the cottage. If water is not your thing, perhaps you would enjoy the many hiking or biking trails on My Prevost or Mt Tzouhalem. Stoney Hill out in Genoa Bay is one of our personal favourites with its stunning views. There are many 4+ star rated golf courses only a short drive away. 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 to explore our beautiful valley, we have it all!

The cottage includes a full bathroom with a hair dryer, fluffy towels and all the toiletries you might need for a short-term stay, or to get you started for a long-term stay. There is a two-piece bathroom off the master bedroom as well. We have a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, stove, dishwasher,microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, walk-in pantry and table with seating for 2.

The large main bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a smart television so you can log in to your streaming accounts, and looks out over the quiet backyard. The second bedroom has a comfortable double size bed with an amazing view of Mt Prevost. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds that can be pushed together to make a king if requested and also overlooks Mt Prevost. All bedrooms have large closets and plenty of storage.

The living room boasts a comfy, stylish sofa, love seat and armchair, coffee table, end tables, and a 50” smart tv. The bookcase is stocked with novels and books on local hiking trails. The dining room has a table with 4 chairs and a sideboard equipped with stationary items and games.

The laundry room has a full sized washer, dryer and sink and is incredibly spacious. The south-facing covered patio has an outdoor couch, coffee table and chairs to enjoy a morning coffee or evening cocktail while looking out over the backyard and fruit trees.

When you arrive you will be greeted with a bottle of local wine, fresh baked muffins, and fruit.

We look forward to having you stay with us in this beautiful valley we love to call home:)

Fantastic vacation rental
This is the second time we have stayed here and we have nothing but great things to say. The house is so clean, so well designed, and thoughtfully prepared for its guests. It’s the perfect home away from home. I don’t know why you would ever want to stay at a hotel in Duncan when you can stay here! Laurie is a wonderful host. This is our place to stay when we visit the Cowichan Valley. Thanks again, Laurie!

Cozy Rancher - Wonderful stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The home was clean and comfortable with lots of room to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The sheets and towels were clean and the beds comfortable. When we arrived the host had left some fresh muffins, fruit and a bottle of wine - such a nice welcome! The back yard has a cozy siting area where we enjoyed our breakfast. I recommend this home and would stay here again.

Fantastic Home for a Family!
We absolutely adored our stay at this cute cottage. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and freshly renovated. Straight out of Pinterest! We had our 3 teenagers with us and everyone had more than enough space. There was a lovely bottle of wine and fresh muffins waiting for us upon our arrival. Laurie was a gracious host and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back and encourage others to stay. The location was central and quiet. 10/10!

This was a very clean, comfortable, and attractively furnished home. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, cutlery, etc. Our family enjoyed relaxing here after exploring the Cowichan/Nanimo area. We would all recommend it for a "family holiday" base.

Comfortable and clean rancher
This rental is a cozy home, and appears to be recently renovated. There are 3 rooms - two with queen beds, and one with 2 twins. Lots of drawers, storage, dishwasher, laundry, etc... Was very comfortable, and felt like it was prepared for a longer stay or move in :) Also has a nice size backyard with fruit trees. They were close to ripe when we visited. Would return if we are back in Duncan. A very comparable price to hotels, with much more to offer. Thanks!
