Up up up! Great home away from home in beautiful maple bay
In a lovely new neighborhood up in maple bay, we really enjoyed our little place while we attended a dance competition at the cowichan theater. Laundry, full kitchen, & a really nice fresh bread dropped off by the lovely hosts. I just wouldn’t ever want a hotel after this. Hosts were quick with responses to my questions. Grateful :)

Great location, even greater recovery
We came to this property when visiting Duncan for a sports event. The place was great, with even the smallest things thought through, and nice touches such as a loaf of warm bread waiting for hus. The high quality recovery certainly added to the medal and crushed next-gen normative that the athletes scored. Thank you, Mark & Maggie! Your place is certainly on our list for the future travels into this area.

The Perfect Home Away From Home
The Maple Bay Mountain Guest Home is by far the best vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Mark and Maggie thought of all of the creature comforts to make this truly a home away from home. And they are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. From the delicious, warm homemade oat bread to the wine and chocolates and homey touches, such as throw pillows and blankets, candles, coffee and tea - we highly recommend this vacation home. Thank you, Mark and Maggie!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provide by Mark & Maggie. We were surprised when they gave us a homemade freshly baked loaf of bread! There was also a bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us upon arrival. It’s a quiet new neighborhood with a nice view. We are very happy to recommend to anyone who is looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay.

Nice comfortable hideaway
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy little VRBO! It has everything that you could possibly need at your fingertips. We were able to cook some meals and enjoy some chilling out time on their cozy sofa. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets if needed. The kitchen was well equipped as was the bathroom. It was perfect for what we needed when visiting the Duncan area. It is a little far away from amenities and high on a hill. We will be back and probably look into renting it again. Thanks to the owners Mark and Maggie for welcoming us with a fresh baked loaf of bread! A nice touch!

Beautiful home and location!
First trip to the island to visit our daughter. Mark and Maggie have a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood with a gorgeous view of the lake from their front yard! The suite is a downstairs unit below the main house. We had a looooong travel day and did not arrive until after midnight so the coded entry made it easy without having to make special arrangements to get in. Mark and Maggie have thought of literally everything you could possibly need, including a delicious welcome loaf of homemade bread. The suite itself looked like a West Elm showroom - comfortable and tastefully furnished, including homey touches without being cluttered. Bed was comfy. walk-in closet had plenty of space and hangers and the entire place was spotless. Highly recommend and we hope to be back soon!
