Step into happiness

Every winter I find a place to escape the Alberta winter for a month. I had never heard of Shawnigan Lake but loved the look of this Lakehouse. The photos and description were enticing… but the magic and beauty of this waterfront home far exceeded expectations. An hour drive from Schwartz Bay ferry terminal. An unassuming front of house with a door to a beautiful home that blends the indoor comforts with outdoor magic. This is a stunning home and location that is beautifully decorated and fitted with the best of everything you need for a restful sleep, a morning coffee on the water, and a fabulous kitchen for creating (gas stove too). There are endless walking/running trails and quick access to cafes, restaurants and a community of kind and interesting people. Recharged my soul.

Beautiful lakefront house in a great location

My family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. This was our home base while we explored the Cowichan Valley and Victoria. Deer, families of geese, a great horned owl, eagles, hawks, and hummingbirds were all viewed from the windows and back deck. There are great wineries, a cheese farm, and groceries with locally grown produce in the area. The house has lots to do and is very comfortable. We met the owner when he was checking on another property in the area, and he was very friendly. Shawnigan Lake Village and Mill Bay had everything we needed. I highly recommend and would stay here again.

Beautiful Lakeside Home

We had a fabulous stay. The house is simply beautiful and the hosts have thought of everything you would need. We loved sitting on the dock and having our coffee. The outside property is gorgeous with so many sitting options such as on the dock, the lakeside firepit, the swing, and the huge deck. Better than the pictures. The village is within walking distance and has all you need such as a general store, pharmacy, cute coffee shop and a number of take-out restaurants. We would highly recommend this VRBO.

Picture perfect Lake House

Our family of 4 were all very impressed with the views thru-out the house of the lake and the open space. Perfect location easily assessable for day trips to Victoria and Bushart Gardens or not to do anything and soak up the relaxing vibe on the large deck. One of the nicest rentals we have stayed in. Extremely clean and modernized.

Our second stay at the best spot on Shawnigan Lake!

Once again, Shawnigan Point did not disappoint! This was our second stay at this fantastic, fully stocked house on the lake with spacious rooms (with heavenly bedding!), an awesome deck and amazing dock where we spent our days swimming and soaking up the sun. The house is surrounded by lush greenery with trees on all sides, so it is much more private than other houses on the lake. We LOVE this place and plan on continuing to return every year.

Magical getaway on the lake

Thank you so much for a magical and restorative sanctuary on the lake. The house is perfection- comfortable, gorgeous and everything we needed for a romantic and relaxing vacation. We loved the boathouse, the docks, the sublime views, the cozy beds, and so many dreamy spots to lounge and soak in the natural beauty of the lake. Cannot wait to come again. Future guests- you are lucky to stay in such an welcoming and beautiful place. And try R- Harn Thai in town and Spicecraft in Mill Bay for incredible food.

Spectacular spot for a multi-generational family vacation

We brought together four generations of family from across Canada to celebrate missed birthdays & milestones. This property was perfect for every age group - comfortable quiet bedrooms, cosy spots for story time with Grandma, green spaces and easy entry lake access for outdoor activities and water sports, and a fully stocked high-end kitchen ready for preparing family feasts. Walking distance to Shawnigan’s charming downtown, with all the amenities on hand we needed to make our stay complete. We loved every moment of our stay, and would highly recommend it to any family looking to reconnect and relax together. We’ll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Shane King

Host profile image
My family and I live in Victoria, BC and have been spending our summers at Shawnigan Lake for 20 years. I am a licensed real estate agent with RE/MAX Camosun here on beautiful Vancouver Island.

Why they chose this property

Shawnigan Lake is a beautiful location to enjoy all year around. This property's southern exposure means sunshine from dawn to dusk. The large property is home to several varieties of trees and receives visits from local wildlife. Just steps to Shawnigan Lake Private School and only a 10 minute drive to Brentwood College in Mill Bay.
Walking distance to the village, home of Shawnigan House Coffee and Oma's Bakery - both are so good you'll want to visit them daily! It's the perfect combination of privacy, natural beauty and proximity to amenities.

What makes this property unique

The Beach House is a fun hangout spot located right at the waters edge next to the dock.
