Oceanside 2 Bedroom Luxurious Suite Overlooking Cowichan Bay

Salishan Tree House Suite overlooks one of the most magical places on Vancouver Island.

Important Notice: This property is compliant under the principal resident requirement in the BC Short Term Rental Accommodation Act that came into effect on May 1, 2024.

In the shadow of Mt. Tzouhalem the Salishan Tree House Suite sits oceanside with spectacular views of Cowichan Bay.

This luxurious two bedroom suite was built to embrace the natural surroundings and the region's rich cultural and natural history.

When you first enter the property through the ornate salmon run metal gates, to the forest path and walkway bridge into the suite, the hillside suite prepares you for an incredible experience when you first open the suite doors.

Once entering the suite you will be amazed by the architecture and sweeping views from the windows of the main living room and open plan dining and European styled kitchenette space.

The large and spacious suite is tastefully decorated with touches of indigenous artwork and a main balcony from the living room to step out and soak in the ambience of west coast living.

The large primary bedroom with queen sized bed has its own balcony, TV, and incredible views of the bay.

The second bedroom, also with a queen sized bed, has a large space with a private balcony and views of the bay.

Cable TV and WIFI included.

Salishan Tree House Suite is an EV-charging-ready property! This property is equipped with an OK2Charge Level 2 Smart EV Charger.

Situated close to the Cowichan River estuary, plan to see all kinds of wildlife from eagles above, seals patrolling the shorelines, and if you are lucky the odd whale sightings.

There is a second 1 bedroom suite below that can be rented separately if you need extra space.

Amazing hiking nearby on Mt. Tzouhalem, Maple Mountain, and the Cowichan River Trail.

Bring your own kayaks to explore the ocean first hand or take a short drive away to the Cowichan Bay Village to rent or take a kayak tour. Other tours are available from Cowichan Bay.

You are also in the heart of Vancouver Islands wine country. Some of the best wines in British Columbia are grown and produced in the Cowichan Valley. Tour the wineries and pair up a meal at the bistros.

Beautiful location.
Beautiful location. Driveway is small, if you have a large vehicle. Windows could use a wash, ceiling was dirty. Seconds of paper-products would be appreciated, we ran out of TP on 1st day and had to buy replacement. The outdoor area is beautiful, wildlife, the ocean and trees were amazing. Very quiet.

Clean and Great Views
Property was very clean with great views. Our only major cons about the property is that the kitchen is quite small and would be difficult to truly cook a family meal with the size of the appliances and sink (There is also no freezer or microwave). The wifi was not the strongest and would cut out at times. Thankfully it would come back relatively quickly, but it would disrupt the TV connection and we were forced to use a hotspot from time to time. Besides that we did have a great stay and would visit again.

The house is so so beautiful! Loved the art, bird books and details. The view and trees around are stunning. Wasn’t super clear about the beach access and that would have been nice to have given the location. Plan your stay around staying in a fair bit since it’s totally worth it and it’s not super close to shops/restaurants - but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing. Check in process was a little confusing with several emails from the renting company asking to download an app and other stuff. On the day it was easy.

Stunning house and beautiful location. You’re overlooking the bay - breathtaking sunsets / sunrises. Sitting on a balcony overlooking the water. Abundance of birds surround the property. Highly recommend this property. Within a ten minute ride of restaurants.

Treehouse Suite Overlooking Cowichan Bay
I cannot say enough about how lovely this stay was. I wish I was still sitting in front of the large windows overlooking the water reading in one of the recliner chairs. Every detail of this place is stunning from the art to the landscaping. Owners made it super easy to check in and were very communicative. We absolutely loved our stay here and would highly recommend.

Beautiful house
The house was immaculate and gorgeous. The view was amazing. The art and furniture exquisite. We ended up having great stay. However, when we arrived it was unbearably hot (95F) and we really needed AC. For the future, in the summer, the house needs AC. It didn’t cool well with western exposure. But, it is the most beautiful, spacious and comfortable place we’ve stayed in Pacific Northwest. (Beds great too.) I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Serene Lovely View
Situated at the end of a very quite road, this property was fantastic. Mature landscaping including oak and arbutus trees set the scene. The view of Cowichan Bay from the living room and master bedroom decks is spectacular. The furnishings are high end, comfortable, and in like new condition (clear a lot of though had gone into layout, furnishings, and colours). The kitchen is well equipped with a caveat that you are generally cooking pre-prepared food or simple dishes. If you are cooking from scratch, you will need things like measuring spoons and cups and any specialty cookware. We had stayed 9 days, and generally bought our groceries at the beginning of the stay. In this case, you will find the 2 drawer fridge limited. We brought a plug in portable fridge/freezer and filled all three with the food needed for an extended stay. The lack of a freezer is not that big of a deal, you are close by major grocery stores. Met both hosts during stay and they were friendly and responsive to any requests. Duncan is closest town, and has stores for pretty much anything you would need to purchase (Save on Foods is 7 mins from the rental). But it does not have a lot of 'destination' spots in the town besides the Sat market. We also lucked out and were there during the music fest and listened to some great jazz. Along island hwy, you have a huge selection of destinations within a 15-30 minute drive. Definitely check out the calamari at the Genoa Bay Cafe, it is the best!

Good and bad.
Kitchen is poorly furnished but then again I wouldn't call it a 'kitchen'. No freezer, kitchen 'sink' is a bar sink. EMR sends me email that I should contact rep for greet and meet. Explicitely states I need to coordinate meeting. I tried, EMR does not reply to messages but mentions the fines for not meeting on time for meeting that never happened. Having said all that the place is really beautiful.

Duncan Tree House
Beautiful 2 bedroom place on water. Saw lots of wild life from the balcony - ducks, swans, eagles, and sea otters. Decorated in a mix of Indigenous and Asian art. Beds were extremely comfortable and area is quiet. Would have been nice if we could down to the water and if there was a blow dryer.

Rough start
We had a very rough start. Made to stand outside @6:30p.m. at night in the cold for about 10 or 15 min. so employee checked over suite. Rental agreement said it would be ready @4p.m. I changed for bed, pulled back bed sheets to get into bed & there was a disgusting stain on the polyester sheets. Texted our contact who let us in. No answer. Phoned the 24 hour emergency, 3 times no answer. Got dressed & walked down to the owner's suite. They changed sheets only, not pillow cases with crumpled up polyester bed sheets they must have removed from another bed. Couldn't sleep all night wondering about covid sanitation. The staff I finally contacted were wonderful, the next day they changed the polyester sheets with brand new cotton sheets. They were great & helped us settle in, feel comfortable & we started to enjoy our stay. First night should be compensated.
