We’re located in beautiful bear country, and sightings of bears are common. To protect both your vehicle and our local wildlife, we kindly ask that you leave no food or beverages inside your vehicle.

Your care and attention to this matter greatly support both your safety and wildlife preservation.

Occupancy Details
We believe 4 people can fit comfortably here. You are welcome to bring up to 6 guests. It would make for a tight squeeze, but it’s manageable if your group is looking to save money. We want you to feel informed so you can make the best decision for your stay.

Ant Notice (Updated April 3rd, 2025):
With warmer weather, ants are becoming active. We are proactively addressing this with professional exterminators and have an ongoing year-round prevention plan.

Enjoy a memorable visit when you stay in this historic and unique beachfront cottage. Complete with a 10' barrel sauna with 6' fish eye view of the lake! This charming and historic former float home is over a century old! Like some others around the bay, it was brought up on land around 1950, and expanded upon in the years after.
The 1920 cottage’s unique character and warm happy vibes immediately come across upon arrival. It’s love at first sight for each lucky guest who holidays here.
Inside the house, you’ll find patina’d old original fir floors that slope and waver underfoot.
On the main level are the kitchen, dining, and living rooms, as well as the bathroom and three sleeping areas. The upper level holds bedroom #4.

Bedroom One is off to the side of the kitchen. It has a soft and feminine feel to it. In close view of the queen size bed(king non-allergenic duvet) is our newest acquisition, a lovely and romantic fireplace that turns on with the flick of a switch. There is a 10’ iPhone charger within easy reach of the bed, just incase you forgot yours at home! Decor palette is white, grey, pink, blond.

Bedroom Two is farther back in the house, with high ceilings and more dresser space for the guest who doesn’t pack light. The colour scheme falls to whites and blues, again with that old original wooden floor spread out beneath the bedside rugs. Warm tone bedside lamps offer a gentle alternative in the evening when winding down from a day out on the water, in the queen size memory foam bed.

Bedroom Nook
Even though this adorable little space holds only the basics, it is anything but! Lay back in bed and watch the early morning lake sit as still as glass. This L-shaped semi private area holds a twin size bed, lamps, antique bureau, comfortable chair, and bedside rug. All this is expertly fit just off the dining area, closed off behind a bamboo screen. This is area also holds two bookcases loaded with a curated selection of novels, fascinating local history, children’s books, and boardgames(both family and adult orientated), and quality binoculars to take in the sights outdoors.

Bedroom Four, our newest addition, is located in a section of converted attic space, with its own entrance off the front deck. A staircase leads you up off the main deck to an outdoor space of your very own! This small yet private deck holds a bistro set perfectly set to capture the extended view from this aerial perch. Inside, you will find two double beds, a vintage chair and handmade table by the window. The room is lit by the sun capturing skylight, two bedside lights, and an extraordinary antique handmade swag lamp over the larger dresser. The decor colour palette is white, gold, green, and sisal.
*Part of this room sits above Bedroom One, so be aware there can be some sound transfer between the two rooms, especially during quieter moments.

The dock has secure moorage if you care to bring a boat along to explore some of the 110kms of shoreline this lake has to offer. If you’re looking for adventures that are closer to base, take a kayak or SUP off the rack for a spin around the bay or beyond.
*There are different sizes of life jackets available but it is always advisable to bring one from home that is a secure fit!

The Bathroom holds a small sink/vanity, toilet, and an old vintage tub/shower combo.
We include shampoo/conditioner, face and body wash, hand soap. Also provided for your use are a hairdryer, flat iron, and curling wand. There are oft-forgotten toiletries in a basket such as: toothpaste, body lotion, sunburn aloe creams, etc. There are cleaning supplies in the vanity under the sink if your stay is long and you want to freshen things up.

The Kitchen currently holds a full sized fridge, four burner cooktop, double sink, and XL toaster oven. All dish-ware, glassware, cookware, cooking implements, utensils, and serving ware are provided. There is a comprehensive spice/seasoning rack and basic condiments in the fridge. There is no dishwasher, microwave, or full-size oven.

Although there is almost all day sun here, sunsets are where the real magic happens, they can be spectacular!

- "Honeymoon Bay Cottage was everything we could ask for for a summer vacation - plenty of beds for extra family, water toys, and even a dock to jump into the water! We will 100% come back here." - "Hreat stay!" - "This character house was all it said it would be, and more. I loved the location, the beach, the whole setup. Wish I owned it, it was so great. We'll be back." - "AMAZING family get ways " - "We had the best time at this adorable, rustic cabin with our family (5 adults, baby, dog). We loved being right on the water, the beautiful porch, best views of the lake, jumping off the dock to cool off and using the kayaks. The kitchen was well stocked, we BBQd every night. The sauna was a lovely surprise as I didn’t even realize they had one!Some small things could be improved on…the outdoor area needs some cleaning attention (lots of cobwebs, beach area cleanup etc). And the dock could really use a more accessible ladder (the current one is in an awkward spot full of reeds). But we still spent lots of time in the water!Overall, it’s a great spot!! We would definitely come back & wish we could have stayed longer! "

- "We were looking for a property to host our larger group of two mature families, and this property more than exceeded...actually let me rephrase that...it just blew away our expectations! The pictures really don't do it justice. The house is warm and inviting from the moment you enter, with a large kitchen, fully equipped to prepare and cook meals for a large group. But the highlight of the property (for us) is what's going on in the massive "back yard;" the expansive deck, the ponds, the "gamesroom" building, the gazebo (complete with a raised firepit, picnic table, and "bar" overlooking the river), the hammock, wonderfully crafted adirondack chairs everywhere you'd want to sit, and that (peaceful, tranquil) river access!!! Just WOW. Thank you so much Billy, for sharing your piece of paradise with us!"

With downtown shops, restaurants, and beaches just steps away, our motel provides the perfect base for exploring the natural beauty and local culture of the Cowichan Valley.

As part of our standard operating procedures, we require the following:

1. Identity Verification on day of Check-In
We ask all guests to complete a brief identity verification process on the day of check-in. This may include uploading a government-issued photo ID through our secure external system prior to receiving self check-in instructions. This is a common standard across hotels, motels, and professional accommodations in Canada.

2. Pre-Authorization Security Hold
We collect a 500CAD pre-authorization hold (not a charge) on the guest’s credit card through our secure payment processor 24 - 48 hours prior to check-in. This is not a deposit as no funds are withdrawn unless policy violations occur. The hold is automatically released within 7 days after check-out, provided there are no issues. These measures help us maintain a safe, respectful environment for all guests and ensure the quality of our propertyisprotected

- "We loved our stay. Clean and quiet. Had all we needed. Air fryer, hot plate, pot, pan, dishes, microwave, coffee maker, etc. Comfy bed and pillows, plenty of towels, hair dryers etc. Loved having the grill to make some steaks, loved the firepit (that someone else had lit and had going), and the view could not be beat. Thank you!" - "Peace and quiet with a great view of the river. Excellent accommodation very clean and comfortable"
