Lake house vacation rentals in Elk Lake

We had a wonderful time at Shawnigan Lake, staying in Todd's beautiful cottage! It was perfectly situated right on the lake, with a fantastic dock space perfect for swimming and other activities. We were close to the train trestle, a lovely walking/running trail, a restaurant with a picturesque lake view, and a corner store for quick purchases. Grocery stores were about 15-20 minute drive away. All in all it was an incredible place to vacation for an active family! Thank you so much Todd!

The lake front property with lots to do was perfect after a long day of working in the area. Definitely recommend!

This was a fantastic place to stay. Not only a nice peaceful refuge, but beautiful waterfront and lots of Canadian charm. It was very welcoming. There was a sense of humour with Richard’s inventiveness around the property (eg. the motorized raft with the palm tree, wheeled Muskoka chairs, the Taki tiki hut and much more). The lake and dock were awesome and the water was beautiful and warm for swimming. The home had plenty of space with all the necessary amenities. We could not have chosen a more perfect place for us. Langford is a great community as well. Thank you Richard!!!

Jim and Jeannette are such lovely people! We had a great time - the house is beautiful and the lake is peaceful. Started out each day with morning coffee out on the dock. The location was great, just outside the city and and easy drive to just about everywhere, but feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere.

Had a great time staying where - tucked away and overlooking the lake for a peaceful retreat. Close to the town and easy to get to from Friday harbour. Would recommend to arrive during the day or to googlemap the turn in beforehand as the turn can be easily missed at night!

We loved staying here. The house is great. The front porch, the side deck with grill and sun chairs and outdoor dining is great. The dock on the water is fabulous. Any specific questions or issues were addressed immediately. Its a really lovely spot. You can't do better on Shawnigan Lake!

Our stay was exceptional. We would rate this home as the perfect example of what an Air BnB should be. From check in to check out, all the necessities were accommodated. One of our favorite stays! Thank you

Beautiful surroundings.Tranquil . Wonderful sightings of seals, otters and other wildlife much of it was seen from the comfort of our balcony

When we arrived at the beautiful house, a handwritten note and delicious chocolate cookies from Charlotte were waiting for us — such a warm and thoughtful welcome! The house is spacious, and conveniently located near shops and beautiful hiking trails. We also really appreciated being able to check in a bit earlier than planned. Thank you, Charlotte, for making our stay so pleasant!

Berittany and Dakoda were great to hangout with and helped me get settled into the place. They were nice and great to talk to. Cheers, Ani

The views of the lake are incredible. We enjoyed our stay so much we added an extra night.

Great hat and a great stay

Had a great stay at Lindsay’s cottage on the lake, despite mostly crappy weather. We were a groups of 5 friends getting together for a long weekend of gravel cycling. Convenient access to the Cowichan Valley Rail Trail and other back roads nearby. Accommodation worked well for us with space in the basement to keep our bikes dry. Cooked most of our dinners in the well supplied kitchen. Nice TV with cable allowed us to watch the NHL playoffs in the evenings. Didn’t get to take advantage of the lakefront amenities due to the weather. Would definitely do this again. Thanks Lindsay!

Clean, modern and private suite.

Excellent stay at Elk Lake! We had an excellent stay at Kyle's place by Elk lake. It was very roomy and had all the amenities listed. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The rooms very very big and had plenty of floor and closet space. The outside has a nice deck and is private. It is easy walking access to both the 10km Elk Lake loop (excellent for running) and the Bear Hill hike. We were at a sporting event at the Commonwealth centre and found that because we were outside of downtown, we could be at the centre, the beach, or a grocery store within a 7 min drive. We had 5 adults but could easily fit 8. We messaged Kyle a few times and he was always quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Kyle!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little Swan Lake hideaway. It was very clean and cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. The Swan Lake preserve nearby was lovely, and downtown Victoria was a short drive away. Thanks for a wonderful anniversary getaway!

Amazing spot and an amazing host. I recommend it to anyone visiting!

Kenny & Lola’s Airbnb was really beautiful and situated in a very safe & beautiful neighbourhood. The nearby views and beach were spectacular. The Airbnb is clean and new. The owners were very generous to share their drive way parking when we couldn’t find the street parking in-front of the Airbnb. Would definitely recommend others and also looking forward to stay at their Airbnb in near future.

I'm a repeat visitor to this house. It is a perfect spot to get away for a few days or more. Nothing like those amazing sunsets and relaxing on your own private dock on the lake!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Shawnigan Lake. Leia's place was super comfortable and spacious - with lots of functional space both inside and out. The restaurant next door was fabulous and great to be such a close walk. No noise at all carried over to our place. Lots to explore in the area.
