About this property

Cultus Lake Paradise In the Park, Large and big backyard with a large fire pit!

We have been renting our Cultus Lake home for over 14 years. We genuinely enjoy sharing our getaway!

Enjoy our large and cozy house at Cultus Lake. Our home is 1600 sq ft, with four bedrooms that sleep 8 in 4 beds, two more on couches, a fully stocked kitchen, a fire pit with chairs in a 16 X 16-foot brick fire pit area, and a large patio in our fenced backyard for hanging out. Please note that when there is a fire ban, you may have no fires.

There is parking for four cars. There is also a wood and cement patio with an outdoor glass table for eating outside. There is also a washer and dryer.
We are two blocks up from the Lake, just far enough from the noise and wind when it comes up sometimes. The boat launch and the boat and jet ski rental place are less than two blocks away. Once you arrive, you can park your car and walk everywhere. Waterslides, restaurants, amusement park, basketball, and swim in the lake are all within walking distance. Or you can sit in the large backyard and relax. We love going and relaxing, forgetting that the rest of the world exists.

Optional Jet ski rentals are at an extra charge with proof of a valid B.C boater license; the minimum age for rental is 25 years old.

Cultus Lake is about a 1.5-hour drive from Vancouver, half an hour from Abbotsford, and 10 minutes from Chilliwack.

Parking in the driveway for two cars and two cars in front of the home.

The house is cozy and has lots of character. It was well equipment for our multiple families and close to all the activities Cuultus has to offer. We walked to the lake, amusement and water parks in less than 10 minutes. There is ample parking and the big backyard was great. We would definitely stay again.

Our family of 10 stayed for 4 nights. We had a wonderful family vacation & we hope to return next year. The location is a short walk to the lake, Adventure Park, water slides & hiking trails. When we weren’t off doing activities, we particularly enjoyed the peaceful & shady fenced back yard. Indoors, we hung out, played board games on the ample dining room table, or watched movies on the TV. The kitchen really worked for preparing our family meals, which we usually ate outside. We had a barbecue dinner one evening & that was nice, too.We had a wonderful & relaxing family vacation thanks to this peaceful & beautifully located home.

Great Family Gateway!

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation home! The house is very well maintained, clean, and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is perfect—close to everything, yet peaceful and family-friendly. What really stood out was how much the host cares about their guests. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and had a great experience during our vacation. This place is ideal for families, and we would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for 4 days at this property with 5 adults and 2 toddlers. The cozy rancher fit our needs perfectly. There was more than enough space for all of us and the fenced in yard was great for the kids. This property is within walking distance to the lake, waterslides and adventure park. The owners are very attentive and checked in with us during our stay.

Great place for an extended family holiday.

We stayed a week with small kids, adult children and grandparents and a small dog. We loved the fenced back yard and proximity to beaches and docks. Perfect quiet street for after dinner bike rides in front of the house. The cabin is clean and cozy. Excellent firepit area. Kitchen has everything you need and the hosts are excellent communicators. Didn’t want the week to end.

Short stay for wedding

We had a great time!! The location was perfect for us as we attended a family wedding, it was not a long stay but a good stay. Nice cozy place but everyone got their own room which was what we needed. Quiet neighbourhood although the lake was quiet this weekend as well. But great to get out for a walk at the lake. Thank you!!

The cleanliness of this property is not as stated in reviews. The bathtub was never cleaned for our arrival. The shower head is held on w black electrical tape.There is a broken lamp shape And bulb in one bedroom but it still works so they just left it there for guests to use. Why?One bedroom's door knob kept locking me out of my room w my 2 small pets inside. The old 1960s door knobs lock every time this non locking door shuts. We had to figure out how to climb up into the window from the back! Luckily the window was open and we used a butter knife to pop the screen and the most spry of us, a 65 year old climbed in there! And then She was also locked in there! So it took a good 10 minutes of a person inside and a person in the hallway to be able to open the door!This happened twice! I called Steve immediately Fri eve when the 1st incident happened. Plus many texts. He said He was coming sat to put in a new knob set. He asked me for perm to enter if we were not there. I said yes. He was a no show. 5pm sat he texted that he couldnt get a hold of " his" handy man. We left 24 hours early so that should tell u how we did not enjoy this house.The doorknobs have old layers of green tape on them from previous incidents so his feigned surprise at this dangerous self locking door is interesting right?Why isnt there any maint done in this house?The bathtub needs re caulking.Cob webs in doorframes. Dirty bath mat in both bathrooms. We never used the shower in the 2nd bathroom.

Cultus Lake Family get away

Very comfortable and great location. The best way to describe this home is a "retro style" cottage. Quite original in most areas of the home. It's a cozy cabin feel with all the comforts needed. If you're looking for a family getaway that's not a fancy castle, this is the home for you. The backyard fire pit with all the colorful chairs is a great place to have family and friends relax and enjoy "lake time".

A great family house

We enjoyed our stay, but had a really hot week (end of July) and unfortunately the screen doors did not have screens on them. Also, the large bedroom did not have opening windows. Despite these inconveniences, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to doing it again! I have been going to Cultus Lake for 40 years and I have never seen so many mosquitoes there as this year - must have been the wet Spring we had :( Next time we will bring mosquito netting for outside!

About the host

Hosted by Steve and Dori Whiteside

Host profile image
We love to be hosts at Cultus Lake. We have been married for over 30 years and have two adult children. We love the lake but also like to rent out our place to help cover cost. I have a PhD in Human and Organizational Development and love to lead Firewalking Seminars.

Why they chose this property

Always check fire rules at Cultus Lake when you arrive.

This house is large and comfortable. The backyard is among the best in the Lake area with the largest Fire pit area I know of. It is very close to the water, but far enough away so when the wind picks up at 2 to 3 pm you will never know it and can relax under our giant oak tree. We also use the house so please note it does have many of our personal items in the house we ask you to respect. But this means that the kitchen and rest of the house are fully stocked! I know you will love the place.
