Enjoy this Shawnigan Lake waterfront property and everything it offers to make your getaway the relaxing and fun retreat you are hoping for. The house is fully accessible but before booking be aware that the property is on a hill and there are several stairs down to the hot tub and dock.
We have hosted many family reunions, birthday parties, bachelorette weekends, and sports teams competing with the local schools.
The home offers a bright kitchen, dining and living room area where families and friends can gather to make memories and enjoy views of the lake. The home also offers a large family room with a pool table and foosball table.
This vacation property sleeps up to 12 with 4 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queen beds and a Single over Double bunk bed), Queen hide-a-bed in the family room, and a single movable cot. There are 3 full bathrooms and laundry.
The large deck is a great place to gather and offers morning sun and full views of the lake. Down the stairs is another sitting area around the firepit (wood fires are only permitted when BC Coastal Fire Centre does not have bans or restrictions in place).
The large dock is where you will spend your day swimming, fishing and floating. There is a small beach for the little ones and boat whips to hook up your own boat. The covered area offers shade from the endless summer sun. Please note that there are stairs leading down to the lake.
There is plenty of parking inside the gates, with beautiful garden beds and a level grassy area for yard games. And if you need more to do there is access across the road to the Cowichan Valley Trail for hiking, mountain biking and the Kinsol trestle. Enjoy dinner at The Lakehouse or take a local wine tour.
The home is well appointed, including linens, towels, and all kitchenware. The water system is state of the art and is safe for drinking. Wifi is available both in the house and on the dock.
You will have private access to the home, the dock and 1 acre property; however the property is the owner’s primary residence as required by B.C. laws and will be on site in a separate cottage. The host is available via the VRBO app, or via text/phone.
There is a chicken coop which provides you the opportunity to collect fresh eggs and interact with the friendly flock. There is a rooster who is very friendly, but be aware, he has a loud cock-a doodle-doo! The owners also have a friendly dog named Copper.
