About this property

Entire guest suite hosted by Diane

Private walkout suite.
This suite is 842 square feet, complete with 1 bedroom, and a sofa bed. The beautiful full, large open kitchen provides ample space to prepare meals with ease using a variety of kitchen essentials as well as a full size range and fridge with a large microwave oven. Enjoy a sunny morning listening to the birds in your backyard, overlooking a serene park-like setting is a perfect start to any day!
The space
Our large backyard has a horseshoe pit and fire pit with lots of wood available for an evening roasting marshmallows and enjoy your evening under the stars. There are 2 sitting area's in the yard so whether you love the sunshine or shade you can always have either during the hot Valley days. One sitting area is dedicated for your use but all are for you to enjoy. If your game is croquet we have a set waiting for your fun. Our backyard has a creek at the back of the property and the yard has ample privacy. You can start your day with a coffee in the peaceful yard then take a walk along the Cowichan River, where there are swimming holes for a quick dip.
Guest access
Your suite is completely private and only available to you during your stay. You have full use of the yard and if you wish to play horseshoes or croquet please let us know as the weather has been unpredictable so we have them out of the rain but easily accessible for you. The driveway is yours alone while you are our quest and has parking for 2 vehicles. Extra parking is available on the street out front. The basketball hoop out front can be used and if you would like a basketball available please let us know. We have put tennis racquets and balls in your suite as there is a public tennis court in the park behind us. A quick 3 min walk away.
Other things to note
Your suite is on a non drive through road which keeps the traffic to a bare minimum. This also allows for a quiet, peaceful home and yard. It feels as though you are miles from the busy town, but in reality you are only a short walk or drive, from anything Cowichan has to offer.

Lovely retreat

The suite was immaculate, the bed comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the backyard and despite it being February we were able to sit out by the stream and enjoy the birds singing and it was just so peaceful and quiet. The river is close by with very good walking trails as well as being very close to the downtown with its shops and restaurants. Even though we were there only for a short time we felt rested and relaxed. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

40 Plus days.. Long Term Stay

Diane is a nice person but the listing states it has starter essentials but I only had 1-dishwashing pod, no laundry detergent, 3/4 of a toilet paper roll. There was a bottle of dish detergent available. I had to go out and buy these essentials thinking with my long term stay 40 some days I would have thought I would have been given more essentials than that. The place was cozy and clean, the bed is high so be careful. Trash was a little issue, needed to request trash bags and request the trash to be addressed. Diane tried to be a little flexible as my schedule continued to change with the hospital. If you are under a contract that can change according to the hospital you will need to be mindful of it as it may cause some uncomfortable conversations. Overall not a bad place to stay but several things to consider when long term is needed.

Great place close to downtown Duncan!

This is one of the most well-equipped vacation rentals we have stayed in! There were even things we didn’t know we needed. It is very clean. The owner was in touch with me right away with an answer to a question. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to people needing to stay right in Duncan.

Absolutely the Best!!!

This Vrbo met and exceeded our expectations in every way. The exceptionally clean, beautifully appointed and laid-out suite has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Best quality appliances, both big and small, were so appreciated! We truly felt welcomed with all the personal treats left for us and the bed was very comfortable! The backyard was set up with different sitting areas so you could relax and take in its beauty and serenity! We were very busy preparing for a local wedding so didn’t get to interact with our hosts very much … the few conservations we had with them only added to welcoming vibes of this stunning rental! Don’t think twice about renting this property!! Lynda

Lovely, quiet spot close to conveniences

I was surprised with how peaceful this spot was considering how close to town it is. Easy access to the unit which was exactly as described in the ad. We very much enjoyed viewing the plants coming up in the garden. The fire pit would be a great place to hang out next time.

A great home away from home

Diane and Loyd’ s motto is that there is nothing to small to make your stay a great one. From a perfectly set table when you walk in, to chocolate chip cookies, fresh cut flowers are a great welcome. But it was finding eggs, lemons, mustard, ketchup, small jars of spices. Their thoughtfulness all done to make a perfectly clean place a true home away from home. We will be back!!
