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.

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.

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. We’d love to have you stay with us again, you were 5-star guests!
Warmly,
Steve and Dori
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.

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!

You and your family are welcome back anytime.
Thanks,

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.

Erica, so glad you and the family had a great week. Your family where wonderful guests and we hope you will choose to stay with use again. You are always welcome back to our home.
Stayed at this property for a week for my son’s wedding. Photos of property were very accurate, as was description. Everything worked as it should. We did some meal prep for the wedding and all basic kitchen essentials were present. Overall cleanliness was perfect. 3 of the 4 beds were slept in and everyone commented how comfortable they were. Pillows were top quality. We had two small dogs and the fenced yard was secure. Any and all communication with property owner was prompt and professional. I would gladly rent this property again next time we are in the area.

Thanks,

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 location in the heart of Cultus Lake and all of the attractions.
Family get together with a 4 night stay for 9 of us in a roomy 4 bedroom rancher with a large backyard. Walkable to everything the Cultus Lake area offers, beaches, waterslides, food, ice cream etc.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your review. Seems like you loved everything. So glad you did. I am confused it seems like you gave us a 5 on everything and loved the home but VRBO only gave us a 4 star out of 5. If this was a mistake can you help us fix the issue?
Thanks again,
Steve and Dori
This is our third time staying and it never disappoints. The cottage is so cozy and we love having the yard for the kids to play. It’s the perfect spot for our family vacation. Quick walk to the beach, quick walk to the waterslides.

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!!

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this place. Even better, the owners try to cater to her every request. The location could not be beat, within walking distance to both the lake, and the waterslides. The place was even more spacious than it appeared in the pictures. I would definitely stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Steve and Dori Whiteside
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. Steve and Dori
What makes this property unique
Size of house 1 king, 2 queens one double futon Queen Blow up Large back yard Large fire pit patio very clean Washer and dryer 2 bathrooms with showers dishwasher close to everything, but when your at the house it is very quite!
