Holiday rentals with lake access in Salt Spring Island

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!

Stu has an amazing place, short walk to an awesome dock for swimming. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place! Clean, beautiful and right by the water. Kiran was very responsive to our messages and helped me out along the way. This place has an amazing fire pit and jacuzzi for those cold winter nights. Very easy access via ferry from vancouver. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks Kiran.

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!

Nice location on lake. Large deck on the back of house with lake views. Large dock with easy water access. Quiet location at end of the road so no road noise. Sean is friendly and will greet you at arrival, gives interesting history about the house and is responsive.

Scotts place is exactly as described. Once inside the view of the lake is beautiful. We loved waking up to the view of the lake every morning. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Couches were super comfortable for watching movies with the family.

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.

Shawnigan lake house is a beautiful comfortable home and very well appointed. We found everything we needed and loved the open concept layout for visiting with friends. We highly recommend April‘s place to others.

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!

We stayed with our pup in Grace’s garden suite for a month during Christmas. The garden is beautiful and big and our dog loved running around in it everyday. Her place is tucked right into a quaint area with local cafe, bakery, and other amenities that you can walk to. The lake is a 3min walk away! Grace was an amazing host and we felt right at home with everything you need for a long stay. Thank you!! Happy New Year ✨

Attila's Sweet Suite was great accommodation, with a full kitchen and lots of space for two adults and a dog. We felt comfortable and relaxed there. The suite is in a quiet neighbourhood and is a short walk to beach access to Shawnigan Lake. Attila responded quickly to questions and was proactive considering our dog. It's a great place for anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

Stayed here on a work trip. Place was great as it was right in town. Very walkable and quiet in the evening. Had everything I needed and more.

The house was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the location, and the area was quiet and relaxing. This is a great get away to nature.

Thank you Nika, our mini break in the valley was awesome. You have a beautiful location

Beautiful cabin with amazing view of the lake. Very cute and cozy! Peaceful and quiet, clean, and had everything we needed. Hosts were very kind and flexible with our late check in and bringing us firewood at night. Would stay again!

this cute and rustic little cabin right on shawnigan lake was awesome! it was a fun little getaway for me, my plus 1 and my two dogs. plenty of great local restaurants nearby but once in the cabin a feeling of serenity and peace ar e provided by being so close to the lake. I hope to be back soon!

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 :)

Beautiful and cozy little oasis tucked away in the forest! Shery was helpful and communicative. Would definitely return when visiting the area!

lovely place right on the water kayaks, canoe etc all readily available. we were there in October so too cold to swim. it would be amazing in warmer weather. Lots of local things to see market, hikes etc. you do have to drive

Thank you Lesha for a wonderful stay. The private cottage had everything we needed and more. We loved that we could take in the beautiful lake view from the dock, the deck, and from inside the cabin. It was a treat to have a kayak to enjoy the lake by water. Shawnigan lake and the Cowichan valley is a beautiful place with so much to explore (great restaurants, produce/products from local farms, walking/hiking/mountain biking and quaint shops. We hope to stay again.
