The home was spacious, lovely and clean. The bedding was soft and cozy. Well stocked kitchen, large patio with plenty of seating. We had a wonderful time and any query we had Sandra replied right away. Great time had by all!
A nice big space. For some reason we thought it was on the lake but it is not. It does have a view of the lake from the upper deck and is a short walk to the lake. The host was very responsive to our needs and requests. We enjoyed our weekend stay.
We celebrated our parents 80th birthdays and the property had enough space for the whole family to be together. Check in was easy and everything was ready for us to enjoy a lovely weekend. We spent time by the fire in the evenings, some enjoyed the hot tub, we took walks to the lake and we had wonderful family dinners. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.
Communication with the owners was excellent. They replied quickly and dealt with our questions and needs.This was one of the few properties near Victoria that could accommodate our extended family of 14 people.I would use the facility again and recommend it to other large groups.
What a wonderful space! As other reviews mentioned, the pictures don’t even do it justice. So spacious and pretty, and fun for the kids! House is well-equipped with needs, beds are comfy, and everything was so clean and pleasant.
The owner is also super responsive and kind. We are very much hoping to come back some day.
The property was just what we needed, in fact it was more than we needed :-). Spacious, clean, new and in a great location, just steps from the lake. The owner's have taken time and care in ensuring their guests have a terrific stay, plus communication was prompt and effective. The "Luxury" in the description has been used correctly.
We had four generations in the home with plenty of room to be together, and to be apart. We would absolutely stay there again and would happily recommend to family, friends, acquaintances and even those we have not met.
Exactly what we needed. House is exactly as described. Big, beautiful, clean and just minutes away from the private dock.
Friends and family definitely had a relaxing trip. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was large enough to comfortably fit our entire group.
The host and property manager were very responsive if there were any issues. I would say they exceeded all my expectations with the service making sure we were ok and stocked with supplies.
Definitely will stay again in the future.
Thanks!
Great location for a Shawnigan Lake Cycling getaway
Very well appointed house with all the toys. There are 7 distinct bedrooms but realistically 5 bedroom for an an adult group. owners very responsive to questions and concerns. Used the house as home base for daily cycling expeditions in the area. Ate in house 2 nights and out 2 nights at Lakehouse at Shawnigan and Unsworth Winery. Both very enjoyable. At home, BBQ and kitchen had all the conveniences.
Fantastic area with good lake access. There is a great dock and paddle boards and a kayak to use. We were there in October but it was still nice enough to go into the lake a bit. The lake is close to other activities that we did around Vancouver Island. The house was probably the best equipped rental we’d ever stayed in. Communication with the host was flawless, and we would highly, highly recommend!
We recently stayed at Sandra &Terry's house. As mentioned in prior reviews - the pictures do not do this house justice. There were 13 of us and the upstairs living, dining, kitchen area was incredibly spacious. The house was very clean and was stocked well. Sandra and Terry were very easy to desl with and promptly answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this home. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains/forest is so beautiful. We would definitely stay again.
Lake Shawnigan House was amazing … as always. This is our second time for a family reunion and it’s always a relaxing way to visit and enjoy the sites. Sandra and Jody are great hosts, super responsive and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you so much!!
What a nice house! Felt even more spacious than it looked in the photos. Loved the surrounding neighbourhood and town. Also had lots of fun on the lake! Check in and out were super simple.
We went as a celebartion to my father in law and it was an oppertunity for his 3 sons and thier families to come together and enjoy each others company, whilst enjoying walks out doors.The best thing was that there was multiple areas that you can breakaway for a moment of quiet amongst the chaos, which is important for family.
Annual girls trip (each year a different location). The house is very roomy and comfortable. We hiked trails in the local area, the Kinsol Trestle bridge is super fun! Very quiet neighborhood.
We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this property. We were a large group of adults, children, and 2 dogs. The space was large with many bedrooms to accommodate us all. The large living room and kitchen could also fit us all as a group. The place was very clean.The host was very communicative, and they had someone local who helped us with a couple of issues. They brought a high chair over on request for the infants.A few things we wish we had known before arriving:- Beds are very soft overall- Bunk beds are small for adults but are good for children- We found that VRBO’s description of the bedrooms is a little confusing. There are 7 sleeping spaces and 7 beds. The listing says that one room has a king bed/futon, but that’s only one bed that is a pull out couch.- There is a regular coffee machine and a Nespresso machine (with the larger pods). No coffee grinder, so bring your own.- If you rent the whole house, there is a suite downstairs that has a second small living room and kitchen space. Overall there are several fridges, which is amazing for a group!We enjoyed our stay and would happily visit again.
12 people. Good communication with owners and nearby helper. Big newish house, plenty of room for 11 adults and 1 baby. Great views of the lake, and the location was great for nearby quality restaurants, wineries. Way better than we expected.
Very nice place to stay. It easily accommodated our group of 11 adults, a baby, and dog. It is a great location and well equipped inside. Definitely worth a stay.
Great quiet location, beds were comfortable and house accommodated our large group of 12 nicely. A couple of the beds were a pull out couch in a kitchen/living area and a futon in a rumpus room so we weren't sure if those were supposed to be included in the 7 bedrooms but we made it work and everyone had a bed to sleep in. Hot Tub was a treat and we enjoyed playing the boardgames available in the home.
We have a group of ten of us stay and friends come visit throughout the weekend.
House was very clean, big and beds were comfy. Would stay again for sure.
The place was very lovely. Nice huge house and there was 13 of us. Big living room and outdoor deck. Very nice view of the lake from the top floor. Ample parking spaces. Only 1 issue happened during our stay, but the owner resolved it quite quickly and had the caretaker come by.
We loved that the lake and dock were so close and very easily walkable. The propane fire pit and hot tub was great for hangouts. It was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Sandra was great and very responsive to all my inquiries and messages. Would recommend staying here!!
