Sylvan Meadows Suite - Charming Retreat in the Heart of Cowichan Valley
Family-friendly vacation home in Mill Bay
Our beautiful new one bedroom suite accommodates 4 guests and is located centrally between the villages of Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill. Our property is set in the midst of a valley with working dairy farms, a winery and a cidery - each with their own restaurant, and both within a 15 minute stroll. Our corner of the Cowichan Valley abounds with recreational opportunities - great walking and hiking trails, kayak rentals, fishing charters, water-skiing, golf courses, mountain biking and more! Close by is the seaside village of Cowichan Bay, and Duncan - home to a year-round Farmer's Market. Of course, the Cowichan Valley is famous for its many wineries, craft breweries and distilleries. The vibrant city of Victoria with all of its festivals, entertainments and events, is only a 45 minute drive away.
Enjoy your spacious deck with a breathtaking view of rolling fields and hills to the west, so you capture the gorgeous sunsets as you relax in the evening. Enter through your private entrance into an open, dining, living and kitchen area well-lit by large skylights, situated to enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. The living room is equipped with a SmartTV, WiFi (throughout the unit), books and games. A ductless heat pump offers both air conditioning and heat for your comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and everything you may need for your cooking enjoyment - including your apron! The pantry is stocked for your convenience with complimentary coffee and teas, herbs, sauces, dressings and condiments. The bedroom Queen mattress is a Kingsdown pillowtop for the ultimate sleep - our hideaway sofa in the living room is also a Queen for a comfortable rest. The bathroom boasts an extra large 6' soaker tub and shower unit. A washer and dryer for your own use is tucked into a corner of the bathroom. Laundry soap and dryer sheets are included for your use.

Beautiful, well-appointed, and spotlessly clean!
Sylvan Meadows was the perfect spot for our family weekend in the Cowichan Valley. It has everything you need for a short or long stay. Holly was a perfectly attentive host. The unit was spotless and comfortable. The views over the meadows were so beautiful. We had a lovely lunch just up the road at Unsworth- a very close walk!
