Shawnigan Lake Cottage with GORGEOUS LAKE VIEWS!

Great lake views. Cottage was well equipped with everything you'd need. Providing shampoo and conditioner would be an added bonus. Loved the wood stove. There was a bit of road noise in the mornings if the windows are open. Owner was easy to communicate with.

Cute little cottage steps from the lake - nicely appointed with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The bedding is definitely on point.Thanks for everything!

The picture for the property made us believe the property was on the water but realized afterward that it is the other side of the street. However, there is access to the dock on the lake side of the street.

This is a very cute cabin but I've never stayed in a vacation home with so many rules. I have waited to rate so I could objectively gather my thoughts. No long showers or showering close to each other. The driveway is steep so if you happen to spin some gravel out you have to let the owner know so she can have the handyman bring over a rake so you can rake it back or she will charge you if she has to do it. I wonder where the handyman was when we used the microwave and coffee machine at the same time and the breaker blew, I was told to move the microwave off a higher shelf to another plug in and find another for coffee machine. We wanted to use our own Roku on the TV and she sent me a nasty message asking why I was putting our Roku on her TV??? Maybe we could rent a movie which is normal. Check out 10am so I had anxiety to get up and be expected to put all our bedding in the pillow cases as well as all the towels. and if the mattress cover is dirty add that also. Then the kitchen has to be exactly as you found it, oven cleaned, bbq cleaned. My gosh what was the cleaning fee for? The first page said garbage outside and separated in bins, the second page said leave garbage by fireplace. And lastly you cannot sleep with the windows open, it is noisy as you're on a busy road between the cabin and the lake and it was super-hot while we were there and the fans were not enough. If you use PayPal there is a note left that you need to leave $5 on the table. BTW I am very clean.

My family recently had the pleasure of spending a relaxing week at the Shawnigan Lake Cottage. The cottage is nestled in the trees, a welcome reprieve from the scorching temperatures this week. The owners had done an excellent job of maintaining the place and making it feel like a home away from home. The rustic charm of the interior décor added to the overall ambiance, setting the stage for a tranquil and relaxing stay. One of the standout features of this cottage was the breathtaking views it offered from the deck. The upper and lower deck was ideal for morning coffees and evening dinners, providing outstanding views over the lake. What truly made this cottage stay exceptional was the access to the dock. This amenity provided a gateway to endless adventures on the lake. In addition to the outdoor activities, the surrounding area also had plenty to offer. The owners were hospitable and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our stay at the cottage was perfect ~ I can't wait to return!

Cabin was beautifully outfitted. The steep gravel driveway is a bit dangerous for some vehicles and pedestrians. Having to cross a highway to reach the lake was unexpected. A lot of stairs for older adults and carting equipment down and up from the lake.

Cabin is well stocked, has a great view of the lake and the kayak they provided was a lot of fun!

Our second summer vacation visit to lovely, historic, Strathcona cottage! Love the lake view , tall trees,. and sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch. Lesia the owner is friendly, very helpful and well organized.. A very pleasurable vacation experience!

A great neighbourhood and almost everything we needed for our short stay?

A little gem! Perfect size for two adults and two kids (the bunk beds were a big hit). Lovely lake views and outdoor spaces. Cozy and quiet. Lesia was so welcoming and helpful.
