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.

Cultus Lake Short-Term Rental Permit # 24-623-042
Parking in the driveway for two cars and two cars in front of the home.
Maximum number of guests is 10.

Note: All guests must sign a Short Term Renters agreement and send us your government-approved ID.

My kids and i had a lovely time at the lake. The hosts were kind and easy to deal with and the house was a dream come true - 2 mins from the beach and all the amenities are within walking distance if you need an ice cream a snack or an evening out. The vibe at Cultus is very cozy and welcoming and i also feel its safe enough of a place to allow the kids to bike around and be free.

The house was spic and span clean on our arrival. Back yard big with enough room to play soccer and relax by the patio and fire pit and the big tree gave great coverage from the sun. Walking distance to beach, parks, water slides and walks in the forest. Couldn’t ask for a better place where all the family could enjoy themselves. The host easy to contact and replied very quickly. Will be rebooking next year.

Hi Deanna, Thank you so much for the 5-star review, it means a lot to us! We're thrilled to hear your group had a great time and enjoyed being so close to the water. It definitely has that old lake house charm, even though we’ve upgraded quite a bit. Your group was wonderful, and thank you for leaving the home in such great condition.

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.

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.

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.
