The view was amazing
Airbnb ·
The suite was lovely & generally very well appointed with quality finishes & accessories.Some simple instructions for the Bosch appliances would be helpful as the manuals were not, mostly detailing installation & troubleshooting for several different models.Overall we were indeed pleased with the accommodations, thank you.Wayne

This is a lovely apartment. The view is great. We found several things that just didn’t work. That was frustrating. The motorized shades didn’t work, the fan over the cooktop didn’t work. The wine cooler not plugged in. The cooking equipment is marginal at best. If you want to do any serious cooking the equipment is sub standard. Please disclose there is NO freezer. That is an issue for most guests.

Excellent art and furniture made for very interesting, relaxing vibes. Amazing view of the bay. Smooth check-in and very clean place.

The location is the star in this quirky property

Beautiful location right on the lake, and a comfortable and well-decorated property. It was a bit wanting in some areas given the price, but overall it's a characterful apartment and the views are exceptional.

Unfortunately the wi-fi did not work for the duration of our stay, and neither the property owner, nor EMR Vacation Rentals were able to help. This really put a downer on our stay, as we were reliant on the internet to plan our days.

We loved the place immediately. Located in a beautiful setting, exactly per the photos on the site. Decorated in a thoughtful and artistic manner, made it a little more special than your average bnb. The reason I couldn't give it the full stars, which I really wanted to give it, was a few important things - 1) one roll of toilet paper provided for the week, for all of us. A heads up that we should provide our own would be helpful.

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.

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.

Nice place but got way too many messages from the host prior to stay and during.

This is a beautifully decorated unit with fantastic views. It is close to Cowichan village with its great restaurants and unusual shops. I highly recommend a stay at this fantastic spot.

This place was amazing, clean, beautiful, great location, and amazing views, attention to detail was given, binoculars to look over the ocean with and more.

Great property a few miles from Duncan. Lots of room with beautiful views. We went to Victoria, Tofino and Kinsol Trestle during our stay here, and they were pretty convenient trips. Would definitely stay here again!

House is lovely, the managing company needs to spend less time marketing and more time property managing

The location was fantastic. Views were great.

The code they sent us to open the door did not work. We rang and the lady was unapologetic and gave us another code to use. That is not good enough for a property in that price range

Beautiful views, sounds of nature, thoughtfully well designed Architecture with quality construction, plus some interesting global art & pieces. Friendly and humorous Owner of property whom we’re sure has plenty of interesting life stories! The current rental management company ‘EMR’ (as of April 2026) unfortunately seemed to not be ideal for a higher end AirBnB. Seemingly disorganized with cleaning. Check-in was very unpleasant.
Airbnb ·
The property was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was well equiped. The receptacle in the kitchen where the coffee maker was is worn out (loose) so the coffeemaker would not stay running. Could not get the tv's to work. Called Vrbo and discussed this issue. The gentleman suggested a couple of things that might work which we had already tried. He said he would send someone to help but that did not happen. This is a beautiful place and we enjoyed the view.

It was super quiet and peaceful, and with amazing views!! We loved it.

The only downside was that the TVs weren’t working properly, so we couldn't have our movie nights as expected.

Beautiful, pet friendly stay with unique charms and stunning views! Ouf family loved our stay!

Beautiful house in a great location overlooking the water. The home was cozy and perfect for a small group. The host was super responsive and sent very clear instructions throughout our stay. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet weekend getaway.
Airbnb ·
What a beautiful space and location. High end finishes through out, beautiful stone work throughout the fireplaces, bathroom and kitchen. Great binder so we could find instructions, and the view is to die for. It's a great place to unwind.

We had an amazing time here. The host ( EMR vacations) was really responsive and answered all our questions right away. The ocean view is breathtaking and we really enjoyed the wood craftsmanship. We would go back anytime.

Great views. Beautiful area. Hiking was fun. Cool art & overall vibe in this rental.

We really enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. The fireplaces added to the cozy, comfortable atmosphere and the view was outstanding. It was an easy drive to Cowichan Bay and Duncan and we enjoyed biking on the nearby Cowichan Trail including the trestle bridge. Thank you for a great stay, we would return again.
Airbnb ·
This property is a stunning and relaxing sanctuary. And, oh, the light and the views make for a memorable stay. It's just remote enough to make you feel you've escaped, but within a short drive to everything you need. A special place.

This place was so beautiful! And so comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous treehouse with a very well-equipped kitchen, and tasteful local decorations and art! Great views across the bay from the big front windows. Lovely secluded and quiet environs from which to appreciate the nature and wildlife. Very effective heating and lovely warm fireplace.
Airbnb ·
Not very often you book a stay that is exactly as advertised. When we walked in we were instantly hit with how beautiful it was, just like the pictures showed. It was very clean, had lots of kitchen amenities, comfy beds, binoculars, books to read, bird and wildlife watching, and beautiful art. Owners are welcoming. It is situated away from everything, but close enough to stores in case you forgot something.

We had a beautiful stay here for 4 nights. The view was incredible and we loved watching the birds and seals from the window! Facilities were perfect and really well maintained and the decor was beautiful!

Professionally run, with clear and helpful communications, responsive to questions, a beautiful space and view, and swans! :) Top-notch.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving family get together at the Tree House & Chief Suites... Both places were very nicely furnished with some great artwork! The views across Cowichan Bay were spectacular with many wildlife sightings :)
Definitely hope to return when we next visit The Island!
Airbnb ·
We had a wonderful stay at the Salishan Tree House Suite. The art work throughout the suite was very unique, and the large windows provided a spectacular view. The road is peaceful and quiet with an artisan gallery within a 5 minute walk. It was a great space for 2 couples - though the kitchen work space would be challenging for more than a weekend. Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this special, obviously well loved, hideaway.

Ein kleines Paradies!

Die Salishan Tree House Suite liegt traumhaft !
Direkt an der Cowichan Bay werden Sie von Vogelgezwitscher und Entengeschnatter geweckt und können die Robben beim Frühstück beobachten.
Die Suite ist sehr geschmackvoll und hochwertig ausgestattet. Zwei Kaminöfen sorgen für eine rundum gemütliche Atmosphäre.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war die schönste Unterkunft auf unserer Rundreise durch BC.

Beautiful location, very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds and lovely bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay at the Treehouse. It was well situated for visiting other parts of the south of the Island including Duncan, Cowchigan Bay and Shawnigan Lake. The place was very clean.

If you want a beautiful, peaceful location this is it. It is a high end build.
The living space is not super user-friendly (only 2 tables in living room area, and both are unusable due to artwork on them, and one is on a stand which moves). Decent kitchen but note that there is no microwave or freezer.
It is a little out of town, but that makes it quiet, and if you have a car is easy to find with GPS.
Our dates were pricey, but we were looking for something peaceful so we decided to splurge.

Stunning suite and fabulous views of Cowichan Estuary

Very comfortable and a fabulous place to watch the tide come in, with river otters and abundant wildlife. Gorgeous sunsets and moon rises. There was no freezer (it was a hot week in July--I hadn't noticed that in the listing), and no laundry (which had been in the listing, hence the 4 stars for that), but we managed with the local laundromat and daily trips out for gelato and sorbet. Very helpful service when the first entry code didn't work on arrival, and when the smoke alarm malfunctioned.

Quiet get away

My mother and I stayed here with my dogs. It’s rural, filled with nature and you can actually hear the beautiful birds in my morning. The winding narrow road might be challenging to navigate for some but people are very good at yielding. There were great amenities here and the view was stunning. Waking up to herons at low tide was gorgeous. Although it’s rural it’s quick enough to get into town. The space was lovely and the kitchen was just fine.

We had a wonderful relaxing time in the tree house. It was a nice change of pace after a rather lively week in Vancouver.

The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. Thankfully, many windows were guarded with insect screens so that we could leave the windows open whenever we desired.

We especially enjoyed the secludedness of the apartment with its calm and peaceful view of the bay while watching the wildlife in their natural habitat.
Airbnb ·

An enjoyable clean getaway that feels like home.

Enjoyed the European design and indigenous decour. Views of the bay were amazing and suite layout were outstanding, amenities were exceptional , rooms and beds, including linens, were extremely comfortable and were a perfect home away from home. Remote screens for windows, fans, fireplaces were easy to operate and convenient.
Secured parking behind a remote wrought iron designed gate added an extra layer of security. A beautiful escape and an opportunity to unwind, relax and connect with nature.

We enjoyed our stay here. We were looking for something quiet and comfortable and this certainly met our expectations. It’s is secluded but only about 10-15min drove from Duncan. My only recommendation would be to keep some cards/board games for guest to use as there is not much in the immediate area for activities. Side note: visited “Just Jake’s” restaurant while we were in Duncan and it was really good pub fare. Recommend adding it to your itinerary!
Airbnb ·
Really enjoyed our relaxing stay here. Comfortable space for the four of us and we really enjoyed watching the tide come in and out and all the eagles in the area. The furnishings and artwork are very interesting and added a luxury feeling to the stay.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at this lovely Airbnb in Duncan, BC with our two children (ages 10 and 8). The space was warm, clean, and thoughtfully appointed — everything we needed was right at our fingertips. The location was peaceful and a perfect base for exploring the area. Our kids especially loved the outdoor space, and we appreciated the cozy touches that made it feel like home. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive from start to finish.
Airbnb ·
Stunning spot and location! Perfect for 4 people (despite one bathroom, at least the toile5 is in a separate room inside the bathroom). Great communication, easy check in and place was clean. Appreciate the comfortable beds, great quality linen and towels. Kitchen has limited space for groceries if you’re staying a bit longer. The panel to the dishwasher fell off while we were there and the wine fridge didn’t work but overall, would absolutely recommend.

Really appreciated the quiet area and gorgeous view from the unit. Would definitely return in the future!

The views of Cowichan Bay were outstanding. And the family of swans that we woke up to everyday were an absolute delight. Very peaceful place to hang out for 4 days.

This place was so beautiful and peaceful. We came for a quiet retreat-like getaway and that’s what we had. We left feeling well rested and replenished.
There were issues with the door code not working, but with a few back and forth phone calls, and 2 new codes we got in.
My sister sent a request for support with the wine cooler that kept beeping, but we did not receive a response. We managed to fix it though, so all good.

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.

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.

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.

One of my all Time Favourites

I would have loved to move in to this cosy, stylish place with the enchanting view. It had beautiful decor, amenities and an excellent location for all of our desired Cowichan activities. Nice quiet, romantic spot. would definitely return!

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.
Vrbo ·

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.
