Trapper’s Cabin – Rental on the Cowichan River

The Cowichan River rushing by as you sleep. Birds in the trees above a salmon spawning creek surrounded by lush green foliage. Step out onto the covered deck and light yourself a fire. Sip your morning coffee and prepare for a challenging day of Fly fishing. Sound inviting?

This is a “TRAPPERS” Cabin – very rustic and not too many amenities but very cozy, peaceful and private. Located on private property outside of Lake Cowichan, on Vancouver Island, BC. You are literally feet from the Cowichan River and just steps away to fish, hike and mountain bike on the trails. How much easier could it get? It’s easy to ‘get back to nature ’here.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

NO GUNS OF ANY KIND TO BE USED ON THE PROPERTY.

  • $70 per night based on Double Occupancy – 2 night minimum.
  • Long weekend rate – $75 per night based on Double Occupancy – 2 night minimum.

Due to availability, one bin of firewood per visit – $20. We encourage you to bring your own, otherwise wood can be purchased in town.

There is no running water but the river is only feet away. We supply water for dishes, wash up etc. but you should bring your own drinking water for safety reasons.. There are tables and chairs inside and out. No Fridge.

There is some electricity but don’t expect to plug in your motor home. There is a two burner propane camp stove for your use. There are various pots and fry pans but no dishes or cutlery. There are two upper lofts with foam and clean sheet. Please bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.

Wood stove inside the cabin as well as outside on a covered deck. Electric heater also provided if necessary.

Sorry there is no flush toilet, however we have a MENS and LADIES biffy. The cabin can be reached by any type of vehicle.

This cabin is presented as a quiet place to ‘get away’… therefore it is adult orientated. The cabin is not setup for children. If your idea of a get-away is to party that’s great, but this is not the place for you. Due to the numerous problems with dogs, [allergies, hair etc.] we ask that you don’t bring yours.

Swimming in the Cowichan River is very nice but you should have runners or water shoes as the bottom of this section has bigger rock and gravel.

We do appreciate any comments be they good or bad so we can continually work to make the “TRAPPERS” CABIN a unique and memorable experience for you.
