About this property

Cultus Lake Paradise In the Park, Large and big backyard with a large fire pit!

We have been renting our Cultus Lake home for over 14 years. We genuinely enjoy sharing our getaway!

Enjoy our large and cozy house at Cultus Lake. Our home is 1600 sq ft, with four bedrooms that sleep 8 in 4 beds, two more on couches, a fully stocked kitchen, a fire pit with chairs in a 16 X 16-foot brick fire pit area, and a large patio in our fenced backyard for hanging out. Please note that when there is a fire ban, you may have no fires.

There is parking for four cars. There is also a wood and cement patio with an outdoor glass table for eating outside. There is also a washer and dryer.
We are two blocks up from the Lake, just far enough from the noise and wind when it comes up sometimes. The boat launch and the boat and jet ski rental place are less than two blocks away. Once you arrive, you can park your car and walk everywhere. Waterslides, restaurants, amusement park, basketball, and swim in the lake are all within walking distance. Or you can sit in the large backyard and relax. We love going and relaxing, forgetting that the rest of the world exists.

Optional Jet ski rentals are at an extra charge with proof of a valid B.C boater license; the minimum age for rental is 25 years old.

Cultus Lake is about a 1.5-hour drive from Vancouver, half an hour from Abbotsford, and 10 minutes from Chilliwack.

Cultus Lake Short-Term Rental Permit # 24-623-042
Parking in the driveway for two cars and two cars in front of the home.
Maximum number of guests is 10.

Note: All guests must sign a Short Term Renters agreement and send us your government-approved ID.

Great backyard and enough room for 4 adults and 1 toddler
Backyard good size and comfortable. Kitchen had everything that you would need. Walking distance to beach (lake water very clear but remember to bring water shoes), water slides, adventure park, wooded area with lots of trails, coffee shop and pizza place and quiet neighbour. Home was clean and had enough toilet paper for us women. Good communication with owners, Would stay there again,

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this place. Even better, the owners try to cater to her every request. The location could not be beat, within walking distance to both the lake, and the waterslides. The place was even more spacious than it appeared in the pictures. I would definitely stay there again.

Great old house
We have used the house as our base for fishing in the Chilliwack and Vedder river. It is a perfect position for us. We loved to come "home" to the house after a long day of fishing. The house is cosy and has all you need.

Cultus Lake Family get away
Very comfortable and great location. The best way to describe this home is a "retro style" cottage. Quite original in most areas of the home. It's a cozy cabin feel with all the comforts needed. If you're looking for a family getaway that's not a fancy castle, this is the home for you. The backyard fire pit with all the colorful chairs is a great place to have family and friends relax and enjoy "lake time".

Awesome stay
Our group of 10 people enjoy our stay in the house. The kitchen has all the stuff we need. Very huge and nice backyard. Just steps away from the lake. Also very convenient location to the adventure park. The house is very clean. The 1 star is taken away just because it takes us a while to adjust the hot/cold water for the shower as well as the toilet flush can easily get clogged. But other than that, we definitely love the stay and would love to come back again.

A great family house
We enjoyed our stay, but had a really hot week (end of July) and unfortunately the screen doors did not have screens on them. Also, the large bedroom did not have opening windows. Despite these inconveniences, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to doing it again! I have been going to Cultus Lake for 40 years and I have never seen so many mosquitoes there as this year - must have been the wet Spring we had :( Next time we will bring mosquito netting for outside!

Perfect getaway!
We spent about 7 wks from mid Dec./17 -Feb.4/18 in Steve and Dori’s cozy, comfortable cabin while waiting for our house to be finished. The beds are very comfortable and dressed with fashionable linens and there was more than enough sleeping space for the three of us. Having two bathrooms was great even if on the small side. The kitchen has enough dishes and cooking utensils to feed a very large group easily.The fireplace was a treat as was having a full size washer and dryer. Our dog Aurora loved her morning beach walks just a quick jaunt from the cabin and having a yard made it easy for her to enjoy the outdoors safely. What Cultus Lake itself lacks for amenities in the winter months can be found a short drive away in Sardis. It was a treat to be able to communicate so easily with Steve and Dori who have also thoughtfully included WiFi. Don’t miss out on this Cultus Lake gem.

Perfect BC experience for a visiting Niece and her family
We had our niece and her family with 3 young children ages 4~8 visit us, and we wanted to give her an experience of our beautiful Province along with also celebrating "Father's day". We found this property, and since we would also have my daughter and her husband join us, this property suited our needs to be able to accommodate the 6 adults and 3 young children. Right from the booking process, our hosts, Steve and Dori, were very prompt, in responding to all our messages and accommodating our requests. The property was very well appointed, cosy and comfortable, and the backyard a big draw, with a very nice fire pit and enough chairs to have all of us sit around and get together to chat and play games etc. Here is a minor tip for the hosts to make this property a "5 star Plus" ! 1) Have extra towels especially beach towels, to take to the lake. There were just 8 towels, - ( the property is listed to accommodate 8~10). 2) Have extra garbage bags- There was just the one bag in the garbage bin. 3) Provide a kettle for hot water - for tea/coffee. But rest assured that for us it was a memorable, enjoyable and comfortable stay for all of us and for sure we recommend this location. We have decided to make this property an annual getaway! Thank you, Steve and Dori, for letting us share your beautiful holiday home.

Spring sturgeon fishing trip
Slept our group of 6 well. Adequate parking for two large trucks and 2 boats on site. Two bathrooms was a big plus. Everything worked as advertised. Small drawback that all sleeping arrangements are for couples ( 4 double beds), but we managed to compromise. All in all great accommodations.

The property is very well situated and is as described. Well suited for our family. Loved the backyard. We didn't need to reach out to the host for anything, but communication beforehand was prompt and very detailed. We got unlucky with the weather but would go back. Would have loved to visit the beach more, given how great the location is.

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Dori Whiteside

Host profile image
We love to be hosts at Cultus Lake. We have been married for over 30 years and have two adult children. We love the lake but also like to rent out our place to help cover cost. I have a PhD in Human and Organizational Development and love to lead Firewalking Seminars.

Why they chose this property

Always check fire rules at Cultus Lake when you arrive.

This house is large and comfortable. The backyard is among the best in the Lake area with the largest Fire pit area I know of. It is very close to the water, but far enough away so when the wind picks up at 2 to 3 pm you will never know it and can relax under our giant oak tree. We also use the house so please note it does have many of our personal items in the house we ask you to respect. But this means that the kitchen and rest of the house are fully stocked! I know you will love the place.
