About this property

Salishan Tree House Suite

  • Summary:

    Oceanside 2 Bedroom Luxurious Suite Overlooking Cowichan Bay.



    The Space:

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



    Important Notice: This property is registered under the BC Short Term Rentals Accommodation Act with Registration Number H553320851



    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. While you are enjoying your time in Duncan, you can rest assured that you will be able to charge your vehicle while you relax and enjoy the comforts of home. Once you arrive, scan the QR code on the charger, choose your payment method, and you are ready to charge! There is only one charger on the property on a first come first serve basis with the other suites. Please note Tesla drivers require a J1772 adaptor.



    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.



    You can find all that you need for shopping in nearby Duncan to pick up groceries, go out to restaurants, and shop in the old town.



    Explore the many cultural attractions in the region from deep indigenous history to modern day settler history.



    Easy drive to the Garden City of Victoria to the south or to the Harbour City of Nanaimo to the north.



    Close to ferries to and from Vancouver BC and Washington State and airports in Victoria and Nanaimo.



    Make a magical stay come true and book the Salishan Tree House Suite for your next stay on Vancouver Island.

Beautiful property with gorgeous views. Stunning artwork throughout, and comfortable chairs/beds. The bathroom was great - nice shower, double sinks in the vanity, and a toilet with a door to separate it from the rest of the bathroom. We loved the beautiful ceiling fan in the living area, and appreciated the tower fan for use in the front bedroom. Having a balcony off both the living area and the front bedroom was a real bonus. A few things to be aware of - not criticisms - just things you might want to know. There is no microwave and no freezer. The fridge is a two drawer, under counter arrangement so don't bring tall things to put in there and don't bring too much as fridge space is limited for longer stays. The final bit of the road to the property is a bit narrow, but not a problem if you are careful and courteous to other drivers. Overall, just lovely.

I really enjoyed my stay here but we had a few issues. It was a long journey from Seattle to Canada and I went with my pregnant wife. When we arrived, the door code did not work. I had to message the host and after 2 more codes we finally were able to access the property. The first night while my wife was showering the shower head exploded and landed on her head. She was totally fine and there was a shower hose we were able to use but that was a bummer. The host was very apologetic and professional about the ordeal and made sure my wife was okay. The second night the EV charger turned off which was a bummer as we had our EV on this trip. Additionally the WiFi stoped working on our last night as well. Other than that we did enjoy our stay it just seemed a bit expensive for what we got. Thank you for having us!The view was incredible though!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
