Vacation rentals with a kayak in Canadian Rockies

Sarah’s place was perfect for a weekend getaway! The location is walking distance to the playground, beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The private yard came in handy, we enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Thanks for being an amazing host, looking forward to staying here again the future!

The perfect lakefront escape! This cabin is the jackpot—a private beach, all the nature & cabin vibes, and enough space to fit my modern family of five plus our two fur babies. The cabin is spacious, comfy, quirky layout and everything you could possibly need from games, kitchen wear to towels & more. Great communication with Craig, easy to get into. If you’re craving a secluded, serene spot by the lake, this is it.

AJ is a great host, he responds quickly to questions and there is plenty of fun activities around the house, inside and out. We brought our small dog and she loved exploring the large fenced yard, while we enjoyed the hot tub.

We had a lovely 2 days at Kevin’s place relaxing. The apartment has everything you could need to self cater and within easy reach of Tofino. Views of the shore at ow tide are wonderful if you like raptor spotting and the hot tub was a definite hit. Kevin was very helpful with lots of clear instructions.

Pro’s: Krista was a great host. Easy to reach when I had any questions and always seemed happy to help. This place is just as beautiful as the photos. It’s spacious and comes with everything you need to enjoy your stay plus so much more. Lots of rooms and nice big beds to comfortably host larger groups. Air conditioning worked great and was such a blessing on those extremely hot days. So many games and activities to always have something fun to do. My group wants to book it again ASAP. Con: The only minor con was that the property does back onto the highway. They did a great job installing a huge wooden fence which gives you 100% privacy. The only thing I’d suggest is to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

We loved this amazing view home in Nanaimo. It is comfortable and extremely clean. Brian is a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. He has gone the extra mile to make your stay memorable by having so many extras available for your enjoyment like kayaks, crab traps and even extra shoes! The home has an incredible view and water access that offers a beautiful place to relax each day. We saw orcas, humpbacks, and otters from the deck! My 4 yr old grandson loved watching the ferries and float planes. Nanaimo was so fun. We are planning on coming back and definitely want to stay at this home again.

Highly recommend. Love the decorating. Well stocked kitchen. Super comfy bed. Open concept. Lovely view. Great hot tub. We also really appreciated an early check in. Thank you Josh and Heather.

The pictures really don’t do justice to how perfect the view is here- it is amazing!! We saw humpback whales jumping not even 200 yards from the deck, truly amazing! Vahid is also a very great and communicative host. He made sure to let us know when wildlife was in the vicinity. Highly recommend a stay here!

What a wonderful little gem. The patio was the perfect morning view, with a fenced deck so no worrying about my dogs wandering off. Everything was clean and comfy! We love cooking and had all the things we needed. Found hidden places like the chasim and near by waterfall (both driving distance) we were early in the year the lake was calm and peaceful. The fireplace inside was a bonus for our rainy day after arrival. My family highly recommends.

A charming and peaceful retreat, this Airbnb offers beautiful views of a vineyard and lake—perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

Beautiful, cozy, and peaceful cabin. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

We had the most amazing time. Megan was wonderful and went above and beyond. Our month long stay was just what we wanted - beautiful views, time with each other, family and friends, enjoyed walks and runs and bike rides, the best restaurant ever at the ECO academy, especially their wine night. Roomy, modern, super comfortable beds. Nice kitchen, beautiful patio and backyard. Love the fire pit. We both work from home and that worked well in the space. We are runners and there was plenty of great places to run which was fantastic. I highly recommend staying at the cabin for an awesome getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at Ryan's house by the lake! The property was peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. Waking up to the view of the water every morning was a dream. The house had everything we needed — from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy beds and thoughtful touches throughout. Ryan was a great host — responsive, helpful, and respectful of our privacy. Whether relaxing on the deck, enjoying the lake, or just sitting by the fire-pit in the evening, this place gave us the perfect mix of comfort and nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and scenic escape. We’d love to come back again!

Thank you for hosting us - we had an idyllic, peaceful stay but not lacking in things to do. We enjoyed the hot weather by relaxing on the red chairs on the dock, taking the kayaks out on the lake, having a BBQ in the evening, chilling in the hot tub. It was a beautiful setting and the lake house cabin itself was lovely - beautifully decorated and incredible views. Emma was a very responsive host and had all the information either to hand or a quick message away. We are so pleased we found Emma’s place and wish we had longer than a couple of nights as we would’ve happily stayed the week if we weren’t moving around!

Had a wonderful stay, our pups had a great time, just walked across the street and we were on the beach. The road in front is a dead end with more people walking on it than cars! Wonderful view out the bank of windows - even saw a Black Bear early one morning walk down the driveway. Place was well stocked and exactly what a rustic cottage should be.

We had a great time in the cottage of James! It was easy to find following his directions. We were welcomed by a stunning sunset, the First of several. We used the kitchen only once as there‘s also a BBQ on the deck of the cottage and some restaurants in the area James recommended. There’s a canoe one can use, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn‘t try it. To be honest we have not seen wildlife like whales from the cottage as June seems to be too Early for that, but there are several wildlife tours in the area and we have seen some grizzlys and others during those. The Area is Full of history about the First Nations and James provides next to games, books and binoculars for entertainment also some information about the history of the closer towns. We loved our stay and can only recommend it!!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing!! The cabin had everything you would need for your stay. The cabin is gorgeous and the large grass area was perfect for the kids. Tracey was very responsive when booking and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

We had such a lovely stay at Andrea’s cabin and she was an amazing host! Extremely helpful with lots of info leading up answering all our questions and the cabin was clean and so cozy! Can’t beat the view either, we had a perfect weekend and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Incredibly peaceful place to relax and unwind, just what I needed for me and my dog. The cabin is gorgeous, well outfitted! We were mesmerised daily by the wildlife around the lake, staring at the jumping fish, the eagles soaring and the loons… if you need to recharge and unwind in peace this is the place!!

Great place for a family getaway ! Backyard and lake was amazing. Appreciated all the yard games and books for the kids. Space inside was perfect for our 8 adults and 2 kids. We would 10/10 come back again.

Beautiful location. Lee was flexible when we needed to check in later than planned. She gave us a helpful walk-through of where to find things to do on the property, such as the firepit, yard, hot tub, etc., and how to get to the beach. Very responsive and a comfortable place.

We had a great stay at Ashley’s place! The cabin has a beautiful view of the bay. The hot tub was so fun and the kitchen had everything we needed. The private dock is so peaceful and it was so fun using the paddle boards and kayaks to explore the bay. Ashley brought us fruits on one of the nights too which was very sweet. Will be back again!

THIS PLACE IS A GEM! Not only is it a peaceful getaway, it is also a thoughtfully curated space with the glass doors opening up to the nature. The private sauna offered a well needed relaxation for us city folks. Jason, was always very responsive, friendly and an excellent host. I wish I could have stay here all summer.

Adorable little cabin. I was surprised and excited to see the books and movies available! The kitchen was stocked well with tools and seasonings for cooking and the bed was comfortable and clean. We had a lovely weekend stay there!
