Lakefront Cottage- Private Dock & sandy beach
Welcome to your idyllic lakefront vacation retreat! This quiet, quaint family-friendly 1800 square foot house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is nestled in the woods and located right on the waterfront in the quiet west arm of beautiful Shawnigan Lake.

Or rent your watercraft at the local marina for waterskiing and jet skiing. The Lakehouse Restaurant is a mere 5 minute walk away, and the historic Kinsol Trestle, Shawnigan Lake Provincial Park, Shawnigan Lake Museum and the Merridale Cidery & Distillery are nearby.
