Stayed Jun 13, 2023This gorgeous waterfront, fully equipped, and spacious house in Shawnigan Lake was perfect for my family of 12 as we came together for my brother's wedding. The balcony and outdoor seating areas were spectacular. We walked on nearby trails and woke up to birds and deer about the property. The kitchen was fully equipped and there was an outdoor grill too that we put to good use. The communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. Centrally located between Victoria and Duncan, this house allows you to explore Vancouver Island from a strategic location. We highly recommend this lakefront beauty!

Stayed Mar 17, 2026The house is spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. The hot tub was popular with our group, especially since the weather was rainy, and it is nicely protected for privacy.Parking is spacious. It is a short, pleasant walk to the dock and we enjoyed the lake view and watching the ducks and loons.

Stayed Oct 5, 2025Fantastic area with good lake access. There is a great dock and paddle boards and a kayak to use. We were there in October but it was still nice enough to go into the lake a bit. The lake is close to other activities that we did around Vancouver Island. The house was probably the best equipped rental we’d ever stayed in. Communication with the host was flawless, and we would highly, highly recommend!

Stayed Sep 26, 2025A nice big space. For some reason we thought it was on the lake but it is not. It does have a view of the lake from the upper deck and is a short walk to the lake. The host was very responsive to our needs and requests. We enjoyed our weekend stay.

Stayed Aug 15, 2025We recently stayed at Sandra &Terry's house. As mentioned in prior reviews - the pictures do not do this house justice. There were 13 of us and the upstairs living, dining, kitchen area was incredibly spacious. The house was very clean and was stocked well. Sandra and Terry were very easy to desl with and promptly answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this home. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains/forest is so beautiful. We would definitely stay again.

Stayed May 1, 2025We went as a celebartion to my father in law and it was an oppertunity for his 3 sons and thier families to come together and enjoy each others company, whilst enjoying walks out doors.The best thing was that there was multiple areas that you can breakaway for a moment of quiet amongst the chaos, which is important for family.

Stayed Apr 18, 2025We celebrated our parents 80th birthdays and the property had enough space for the whole family to be together. Check in was easy and everything was ready for us to enjoy a lovely weekend. We spent time by the fire in the evenings, some enjoyed the hot tub, we took walks to the lake and we had wonderful family dinners. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.

Stayed Dec 30, 2024We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this property. We were a large group of adults, children, and 2 dogs. The space was large with many bedrooms to accommodate us all. The large living room and kitchen could also fit us all as a group. The place was very clean.The host was very communicative, and they had someone local who helped us with a couple of issues. They brought a high chair over on request for the infants.A few things we wish we had known before arriving:- Beds are very soft overall- Bunk beds are small for adults but are good for children- We found that VRBO’s description of the bedrooms is a little confusing. There are 7 sleeping spaces and 7 beds. The listing says that one room has a king bed/futon, but that’s only one bed that is a pull out couch.- There is a regular coffee machine and a Nespresso machine (with the larger pods). No coffee grinder, so bring your own.- If you rent the whole house, there is a suite downstairs that has a second small living room and kitchen space. Overall there are several fridges, which is amazing for a group!We enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again.

Stayed Nov 27, 2024Great quiet location, beds were comfortable and house accommodated our large group of 12 nicely. A couple of the beds were a pull out couch in a kitchen/living area and a futon in a rumpus room so we weren't sure if those were supposed to be included in the 7 bedrooms but we made it work and everyone had a bed to sleep in. Hot Tub was a treat and we enjoyed playing the boardgames available in the home.

Stayed Sep 5, 2024The place was very lovely. Nice huge house and there was 13 of us. Big living room and outdoor deck. Very nice view of the lake from the top floor. Ample parking spaces. Only 1 issue happened during our stay, but the owner resolved it quite quickly and had the caretaker come by. We loved that the lake and dock were so close and very easily walkable. The propane fire pit and hot tub was great for hangouts. It was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Sandra was great and very responsive to all my inquiries and messages. Would recommend staying here!!
