""GEM! If you are anywhere near this lovely valley- This is one perfect place to stay. I think Holly thought of EVERYTHING! This is one of the cleanest, most perfect vacation rentals I’ve stayed in. No stone unturned. Full-on 5 star! Comfortable bed, relaxing quarters, perfectly organized kitchen. When I come back; I will look for no other place. Thank you Holly!

"Sylvan Meadows is a lovely place to stay while visiting lower Vancouver Island.The suite is well equipped, cheerful and bright. It is also very convenient for exploring the Cowichan Valley and pretty easy to get in and out of Victoria. Holly is helpful, quick to reply to queries and has lots of ideas for activities in the area. A warm, welcoming place to be"

"Sylvan Meadows Suite was fantastic! Clean, comfy, and in the perfect location for our visit. Holly was great and was able to help with a last minute change of plan. Her recommendations for things to do and see in the area were spot on. We visited the Merridale Cidery and hiked the Kinsol Trestle. The suite is located in a quiet, relaxing spot between working farms, but it's also just a 5 min drive to wineries, shops, restaurants, hiking spots, and the beautiful ocean.
