Waterfront Cabin

Beautiful spot on Shawnigan Lake with large windows, a great deck and pier to enjoy the lake. The Cabin had everything one needs for your stay. If it wasn't for the air mattress that proved to be very uncomfortable, it would have been perfect.

Great place, but small!

Great location right on the lake with a lovely dock. However, I missed the fact that the only bed is a pull out couch which has a blow-up mattress. My back isn't great so will pay for that. But otherwise, the place has everything you need. Lovely deck and lake views.

Weekend getaway

Excellent little house, lovely view, amazing kitchen....every aid you could need. Traffic a little noisy. Helpful host and may I suggest that it is clear in the property details when booking that there will be extra taxes charged outside the platform. Thisis unusual so felt awkward and was difficult to understand. State up front and the transparency is appreciated. Would totally stay again.

Lovely little lake house

Great little lake house. Nice dock to enjoy a coffee in the am or drinks in the evening. Good size deck to have dinner on and a BBQ to cook with. Kitchen was fully loaded with everything you could need to cook which was a very nice addition. Location was great, close to the food, the trestle and wineries. Bed was a pull out couch inflatable mattress so it was actually a decent sleep and never woke up sore at all. The host Lesia was extremely helpful and very prompt in her replies to ensure everything was perfect and that we could enjoy our stay to the fullest. I would recommend and would stay here again.
