Vacation rentals with lake access in Shawnigan Lake

There are very few Airbnb hosts like William who genuinely care about their guests experience and are willing to be accommodating when things don’t quite go to plan. The house and location are picture perfect but it’s the host that always makes it worth coming back which we definitely will!

Great place for a large group to stay. We had a group of 11 and had a very comfortable stay. The place was clean and full of amenities and beautiful surroundings. Definitely recommend this.

Huge home with all the needed amenities for our stay! Was very pleased to find a little closet of kids puzzles and books as well. My kids loved the gems and rocks that were collected around the home. Wish there was a little space where we could have found it what some of them were and where they were collected!!

This place is a gem. Looking over the water, watching the seals and birds was so peaceful. The house is very well equipped and beautifully done. Can’t say enough about this place. Enjoy!

The house is absolutely beautiful and well stocked! Absolutely recommend this location for anyone with larger groups looking for an oasis of peace and beauty for their trips to Victoria!

What a slice of heaven! It was even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights here (wishing it was longer) with our 18&21 year olds. There was plenty of space for us to gather as a fam or find a chill out spot alone. Allison and Sean were great with communication and giving advice for good hiking trails too! We would love to one day return!

Our stay at Gavin’s place was perfect. We had plenty of room for our group. The house was comfortable, well appointed, comfortable beds and had everything we needed and more. Gavin was super responsive to all my questions, he is a great host. Thank you Gavin! Highly recommend this home when staying in Shawnigan Lake. Lots to do, and we had fun adventuring around. Would love to come back in the summer.

The Trailblazer was exactly what we wanted with only good surprises. The big open space was perfect for our full house of guest. The sauna is an understated gem. We visited in January ehich just added the the Nordic experience of the cold shower. It was quiet, and warm, and easy. We loved it

Some Airbnb’s are magic. Michelle’s house has a wonderful serene spirit. There were deer grazing in the neighborhood one morning. We could see down to the nearby lake. At the same time the grocery store and other shops were conveniently nearby. The house has character— and the kitchen knives were sharp. Towels and beds were very comfortable. Even the shower was special. We definitely recommend this place and its host.

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Tracy and John are fantastic hosts. They have everything you can think of and more within the unit. There were also some other little perks but don't want to ruin the surprise should you choose to stay here which you should. The view / location can't be beat. The lake is a few mins walk away; super clean (rocky so you may want water shoes) and there is a dock to jump off of. Separately, my luggage arrived late and they provided me with extra toiletries which was so thoughtful. They also regularly checked in on the situation which I really appreciated. I hope to be back!

Quiet place with a beautiful view of Shawnigan Lake. The suite was very comfortable and clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Adrianna is an outstanding host. I would come back any time again. Five well deserved stars all around. Thank you!

Had a lovely two night stay, would totally stay with Matthew again! Kitchenette was equipped with everything to make meals at the suite; loved the long layout for tons of counter space! Outdoor space is lovely; dock is amazing to sit on in the evening, tons of wildlife in and around the river to watch.

Amazing place! So convenient with the parking spot right outside — it was really easy to bring in all of our stuff. The views from the living room and bedroom were beautiful and we loved waking up looking at the lake in the morning. The beach and lake are stunning and the shallow water in front of the beach would be fantastic for kids. The condo was pristine and very well-appointed and the beds were comfy (even the pillows!). We came for a couple’s getaway weekend, but will definitely be coming back and bringing the kids next summer! Francis was very responsive during our stay and check in was easy. This place checked every box.

I travel a lot for work and The Suite Spot has everything I could possibly need. Paul is a great host and his convenient location close to shopping and dining makes it easy after a long day.

Enjoy the peace and tranquility this place has to offer. It was so relaxing to stare out at the wonderful bay and see otters play outside on the docks. I will always remember this place and will 100% come back to it. The host is wonderful and responsive and checked in on me various times to make sure we were enjoying our visit. I wish more hosts were like this! Cannot recommend this place any higher!

This was one of the best and most enjoyable Airbnb stays we’ve ever had. The house offered everything we could ask for in terms of amenities and entertainment. The blankets, towels, and bed linens were impeccably clean and well-organized. The kitchen was beyond fully equipped—we found everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated with antique and vintage items, making it feel like a living museum that we thoroughly enjoyed exploring. One of the most fascinating parts was a little playroom, once belonging to a baby girl years ago, filled with toys from that era. Although we didn’t have a little girl in our group, all the adults couldn’t resist visiting this charming space. Even though our group only used one of the two bathrooms, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely love to stay with this wonderful and thoughtful host again.

We loved this place! Definitely worth it and relaxing. Sean was very attentive and friendly. We are already thinking when to come back!

My sister and I had a lovely time staying at Bill and Ashley’s cottages. The cabin was the perfect little size, and equipped with everything we needed to cook lovely meals and enjoy a fun relaxing weekend. Big thanks to Bill for lending us a guitar capo when we realized we had forgotten ours! Say hi to Zoey and Louie for us, can’t wait to visit again :)

We had a wonderful stay at Leah’s place. Beautifully decorated and the cottage is in a stunning setting. We will definitely come back.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! The view is amazing and the lake invites to a swim, even on cold days. The cabin was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Everything was very clean and it felt like a second home. The communication was super easy and we even received some recommendations for the area around. We will definitely come again :)

Michael’s cottage is an exceptional place in an absolutely perfect location. The main floor of the house is amazing with breath-taking views of Shawnigan Lake. It’s incredibly calm, serene and quiet and the perfect place to cook and relax after a day of hiking. Sitting in the hot tub, overlooking the lake and surrounded by over a foot of snow was an incredible feeling. Everything about our stay was great. Thank you Michael!

Chad and his family are lovely hosts. He encouraged us to let our dog play with theirs, so it really did feel like a vacation for all of us. This cottage is in a quiet location with beautiful views. I would recommend booking to anyone. 10/10
