Youbou · 整套别墅 · 5室10床4.0卫 · 可住16人 · Cypress Villa - Hot Tub, Pool & Lake View (House)
Our bright and sunny west coast home sits on Mt. Holmes, towering above the quaint town of Youbou and overlooking the beautiful Cowichan Lake and southern mountains. The home has a large, open plan living area and huge wrap around deck to enjoy BBQs and relaxation in your private pool and hot tub. There are views of Cowichan Lake, forest and mountains from each room. You can find french doors leading from each bedroom and dining/kitchen onto the deck with access to the pool, hot tub and BBQ. Our villa style home has a very large deck; perfect for entertaining. The well stocked kitchen is also spacious and has a double wall oven and a large, commercial style fridge with double doors. In the upper suite, there are two bedrooms, the master with king bed and second room with queen bed. The master has an ensuite bathroom, and there is another bathroom in the corridor. Downstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms, each with a king bed, and an open living area with a queen bed as an “overflow” guest space. In the separate pool house, there is a small bedroom with 2 bunk beds (4 separate twin beds), bathroom as well as a live edge bar overlooking the pool and lake, with fridge to make drinks pool-side. Access to the main house is via the garage or from the wrap around deck. The garage features a full sized ping pong table and is where the after-hours fun is at!
Had a great time here as a getaway to catch up with old friends. We visited as 4 young families with total 8 adults, 6 kids (age 1-6). The swimming pool is 1m deep throughout, so only kids 7-8yr+ will be able to touch comfortably. But there is a gate to the pool area not shown in pictures, which made us more comfortable. Also all the stairs and outdoor decks have retractable baby gates. The main house is air conditioned which is crucial in hot summer weather. The pool house has heat, but not air conditioning. I found the property was bigger and roomier than it looked in the pictures. It was great to have so many different indoor/outdoor spaces for people to spread out and spend time in. There are hammocks and bean bag chairs, and the pool house opens up as a bar to the pool area, and really too much to mention. We saw elk come right up to the house and graze on the bushes a few times which was delightful. Overall a great place to decompress, that everyone enjoyed.
We had a reservation that fell through, so we were scrambling to find a new spot that could accommodate 14 of us, no easy task. We were so happy and lucky to find Jamie and Alex's place in Lake Cowichan. It's a perfect spot for families with a pool, hot tub, and even a pool house that sleeps 4. The house had perfect view of the lake from above and had enough space to fit 14 of us comfortably. The house was located minutes to the lake and town of Youbou. Arbutus Park is located nearby and a great spot for swimming. They even have a slide and diving board there with a lifeguard on duty. I would highly recommend Jamie/Alex's place to any families looking for a quiet getaway in nature, but still have the niceties of a hot tub and pool.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Cypress Villa for 5 days. I must say, our experience was absolutely delightful from start to finish. The villa itself was immaculate, it was clean & spacious & immediately made us feel at home. With the hot summer weather, the pool became our oasis, keeping us cool and refreshed throughout our stay. We were lucky enough to witness an elk grazing the grass nearby. The views of Lake Cowichan from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. Considering the hot weather, the AC in the house was a blessing. It kept us comfortable & allowed us to retreat indoors whenever we needed a break from the heat. Cypress Villa offered plenty of activities for the whole family. The ping pong table, basketball court, & dartboard provided endless entertainment & friendly competition. The hosts, Jamie & Adam, were exceptional. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, & accommodating during our stay. I truly recommend this place to anyone seeking an enjoyable time.
Youbou is a unique little community, sitting on the edge of Cowichan Lake - a boater's and fisherman's paradise. The lake can feel lively during our summer season but maintains the slow pace of life.

- Port Renfrew/Juan de Fuca trail; surfing coast (75 minute drive)
- Bamfield, wild coastal town (2 hours drive)
Our micro-climate is amongst the warmest in Canada, and t shirt weather in the winter isn’t unheard of here, with 15 degrees, sunshine and no breeze. Having said that, November-February brings most of our yearly precipitation, usually in the form of rain. There can be occasional power outages due to occasional snow fall periods or strong wind storms during this period as well, so please be prepared for this if you visit in winter. Summer here is typically dry and warm.
The Lake Cowichan connector bus runs daily.
We are en route to Nitinat Lake, Bamfield, and many beautiful spots along the logging roads to explore. The town of Lake Cowichan is part of the Pacific Marine Circle Loop which has various diverse locations to be discovered.
