Description
Come stay on four acres near Cowichan Lake, BC Canada.
We are a homestead, not a business. Any skills or help are welcome. We love to share our park like setting of wild meadows, a salmon stream, rain forest trail, large cedar and fir trees. It is a ten minute walk along the creek trail to town. Duncan is a 20 minute drive and its about a one hour drive to Victoria, Nanaimo or Port Renfrew. Our eco project is to make the property safe for wild animals like elk and deer to roam. And to be a stream-keeper for the Salmon who live in Oliver Creek. To make organic gardens and orchard. And restore the wild plants on the property from decades of grazing cattle.
There are biking and hiking trails abound, and it is walking distance to swim in the river or lake. The accommodation options include a room in our home, and in warm weather tenting or a camper. We have extended family members and friends who visit regularly. We have a fenced garden with herbs, vegetables, vines and fruit trees. We try to keep the grounds free from invasive plants like broom, black berries, and daphne. We do have solar panels to help with hydro. We have lots to do on the property, in the garden and there is always a project on the go. -
