About this house rental

Welcome to The Farmily, beautiful 3,000 square house surrounded by 40 acres set on the ocean in the Cowichan region just outside of Chemainus. Very private acreage for a family or friend gathering. Perfect for children of all ages with nature walks, fairy houses on the trails, lakes and golf courses outside your door. Kyaking from your own private ocean front around the small islands and exploring the coastal waters is a lovely way to see the westcoast landscape. 3 Kyaks and oars are all provided. You don't have to leave the property to have a wonderful vacation. The property is a unique mixture of agriculture, equestrian property, estuary and 800 year old trees leading down to the ocean. Horses and deer are companions. Expansive fields, walking trails through private forest, 1/4 mile running track and grass areas for family games such as bocce ball, badminton, croquet and soccer. We have lots of lawn games here to use. Various walking trails along the ocean bluff. 40 fruit trees can be enjoyed during the fruit picking seasons. In the summer time you can swim off the dock in waters heated by the tidal sands. Digging for clams and oysters is also a favourite pastime in season. Horses on the property are always there for a good nuzzle looking for a carrot or treat. This private and beautiful house is spacious and comfortable for large groups or families who enjoy nature. All four bedrooms have private ensuites and there is a lower level relaxation, yoga and play area. All yoga mats, props already provided. Wonderful for any self directed workshops, book clubs, quilting groups or yoga groups looking for a spacious area to set their workshops. The host can also organize scavenger hunts, nature walks, horse drawn carriage rides or yoga and meditation. Lovely big fields and walking trails along the ocean bluff to your private dock. We are within walking distance of a beautiful golf course, Chemainus has a preforming arts theatre with quaint shopping and dining experiences. Within a 25 mile radius are some of BC's most celebrated vineyards, with farm to table restaurants. Fishing, boating, swimming and scuba diving is all available along the coastal waters.

Our family had a fantastic time this past weekend. The house was perfect - 4 rooms, each with their own bathroom, a large playroom downstairs, and a beautiful property that was fun to explore. The forest/trail leads out to a private dock. A big thank you to Heidi, who left us a delicious breakfast and helped the little ones make fairy houses to place along the trail. A perfect getaway!

Fabulous! Perfect! Incredible property. Host is wonderful. Had a big family reunion and there was more than enough room for everything and everyone. Big kitchen that spans right out to the conversational entertaining area, huge ground floor room to hold a big party of people opening out to a grassy sloping field surrounded by tall trees. Beautiful horse with the demeanor of a puppy wanting hugs and kisses. The fields, the forest, the walk to the beautiful waterfront, it is a magical place. Tranquil, secluded, quiet and able to easily hold a large group of people. Super clean and ready for check-in. Host was ready to help anytime we needed it. Lovely time, lovely place. Incredible value.
