AERA Cabins is a private luxury lakefront retreat on Vancouver Island, set along the shores of beautiful Cowichan Lake. Designed for intimate weddings, retreats, family gatherings and special celebrations, the property combines modern West Coast architecture with a peaceful, secluded setting surrounded by forest and water. A full-property buyout includes our spacious Main Cabin and two additional private cabins, with overnight accommodation for up to 34 guests. The property can host events of up to 60 guests and offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies, dinners and gatherings. Guests can enjoy expansive lake views, private outdoor spaces, hot tubs, fireplaces, a large dock and direct access to the lake. The Main Cabin provides generous communal spaces for gathering, while the surrounding grounds offer flexibility for outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions. AERA is especially well suited to couples and groups looking to create a relaxed, multi-day destination experience where guests can stay together on-site. Weddings and larger events require a full-property buyout and are customized based on the size and needs of each gathering. Located approximately two hours from Victoria, AERA offers the feeling of a private destination retreat while remaining accessible from Vancouver Island’s major centres.
