A little slice of heaven!
This place really was heavenly! Shelley was a wonderful and very thoughtful host. The water, the trees, the privacy, the quiet. Mama, it was fabulous! Can’t say enough. This is the cottage-on-a-lake I’ve always dreamed of.

Lovely Shawnigan Lake Cabin
Shelley goes above and beyond to ensure the cabin is well-stocked with provisions needed for her guests. We very much enjoyed her cabin, the excellent dock that allowed us to moor our 420 sailboat, ample dock and deck chairs/table, the comfortable beds, large fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There was a games chest and cable TV and great wifi. We loved every minute of our stay and would recommend Shelley’s cabin to all!

A little piece of lakeside paradise!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The dock and lake provided hours of fun in the sun in the morning and afternoon hours and the house and deck are beautifully shaded for cool comfort when you need a break from the heat. Property is well maintained and well stocked, and manager is quick to reply to any questions. We were impressed with little details, like a stocked chest of family games which were well utilized by us for family fun in the evenings… there were even flossers in the bathroom which saved the kids a lot of grief on corn on the cob night :). The fact the cottage is pet friendly was such an appreciated bonus, as we really enjoyed having our furry family with us. Hope to be back again in the future!

Amazing on the lake
A great place to swim and relax in the sun, combined with a really comfortable house tucked away in the tall trees. The trans Canada trail is just short walk away and we took our dog every day. Birds by day and bats by night - so cool. We loved our stay!

Fantastic Getaway
This was a great property from which to make day trips and explore. The lake is beautiful, and the cottage situated to give privacy. Both the indoor and the outdoor space gave lots of options. We'd love to go back someday!
