Girl's Weekend

Beautiful property. Use of paddle boards was a plus. Had everything we needed. A bit of confusion at the beginning when we were communicating dates and getting contract signed but once sorted out it was fine. Only down point was the living room fireplace. We never managed to get a fire going where we didn't get some smoke coming into the living room. Would stay again.

Incredible stay

This property is incredible. It exceeded our expectations. The dock alone makes this property worth it. The house has all the amenities for a great stay and it’s clean. Mike was a great host.

Perfect family retreat

Every member of our family enjoyed the time at this beautiful cottage in West Shawnigan. The house is stocked with the essentials and more ... like beach towels, small kitchen appliances etc We ate pretty much every meal outside to take in the gorgeous view of the lake from the large patio. The included water sport equipment was such a bonus and really made the trip one to remember... paddle boat, kayak and paddle boards. Lots of chairs to sit on and room for our large group on the dock. The cabin is positioned in a great spot on the lake... we really don't have anything bad to say about the stay, 100% would book again :) Very thankful for the experience, Mike

Beautiful House on the Lake

The house was beautiful and as advertised. The dock and water toys are a huge bonus as you can have your boat with you for your vacation and spend all day on the water and at the dock. My kids have already asked if we can go back next year. We would definitely return. You have a beautiful house on a great lake.

Very nice spot on the lake

This is a house. It has all that you need for a short or long stay. Dock is great if you have a boat or just wanting to enjoy the lake. Lots of water activities are included in the rental. There is a lot of stairs as a FYI for those that have concerns with climbing or descending stairs. This is just what it is as the owner can’t do anything differently. 10/10 experience for our group.

A beautiful home in a great spot on the lake. Despite the light rain we were out in the water trying out all the fun water activities Mike generously provides! A perfect spot for families. Mike was easy to get ahold of and quick to answer any questions. Would definitely return!

Beautiful in every way

The location is beautiful as is this home. We had deer as visitors when we came home at night, were able to sit out on the lower patio area and enjoy the lake in the evening and had amazing sunrises over the lake. It was a bit of a drive to Victoria but so worth it. We would highly recommend this property.

First class

6 of us were in Shawnigan Lake to watch my daughter play hockey and I can’t say enough about how well we were looked after by Tim. He even went so far as to upgrade his cable package so we could watch the Roughrider game.

Amazing vacation home!

Beautiful post and beam home, tons of space, really clean and all the extras. Dock was wonderful, we rented a boat and loved that we could keep it right at the property. Kids loved the water trampoline, double kayak and four person pedal boat. Netflix on both TVs was a plus on a rainy day. Owner was quick to respond when we had questions. Great property, would definitely stay again!

Great waterfront home / cottage

We stayed for almost two weeks with our daughter, her husband and their two children (our grandchildren). The place was perfect for us; 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms made it very comfortable and everyone had their privacy. Our other daughter and her children visited often and the lake was perfect for keeping them all entertained and busy. The kitchen is quite well equipped and the BBQ on the deck got used frequently. Meal preparation and cleanup was easy in the roomy kitchen. Everything including the WIFI and TV worked fine. The owner responded quickly to any inquiries we had, but otherwise left us alone. Overall, a great spot!
