Lovely rainy weekend stay

It was great to spend even a rainy weekend in Cowichan by the river, and during fall. The owners were helpful and responsive. The place was clean and although small, was thoughtfully appointed.

Newly renovated, clean, but somewhat small suites with kitchenettes. The hosts were prompt with answers to any questions, and helpful with suggestions. Check in was easy, no hassles. We had fishing clients from Japan stay here who could walk to any of the close by restaurants. I would book here again for sure.

We wished we could have stayed longer.

Riverside is in a beautiful quiet setting on the river. The units have been refurbished and are very well stocked. We also had the use of a communal barbecue. We loved sitting on the private dock and chatting with other guests. It was a perfect getaway!

Fabulous family weekend getaway

We stayed here for a quick family R&R and it was perfect, this spot is an absolute gem. The water is so clean and warm, great coffee shop right next door and you can float down the river. The check-in process & communication could use some work but the host said that it was the VRBO platform issue so not much they could do on their end. We will definitely be back here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a clean, well equipped waterfront accommodation!
