Vacation 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!

We had the most amazing time at Nadine’s !! Our family had the best Christmas!! Thank you 🙏. We will be back!!

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

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.

We had a weekend on the lake at Scott’s! The place was cozy during the snowy weekend. Beautiful lakefront spot with incredible outdoor area that you can enjoy year round. The hot tub was great to relax in and look over the lake. Would absolutely come back here again!

Nice peaceful place to escape from the city. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and taking in the view. Loved the nice touch of having a fire ready for us to start when we walked in and a bottle of wine chilled. Noting that the wood fireplace is for the most part the main heat source and property doesn’t get a lot of sun in the winter-take slippers as floors are cold. Had all the comforts you could want and the hosts were amazing!!🤩

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.

We came to visit our son who was having surgery. We got caught in the highly unusual February heavy snow, but April responded quickly to get us help. Great place w big beautiful view of lake, Terrific kitchen. Two levels to house. We didn’t check out the hot tub, sauna, pool and lake access due to weather, but they looked great,

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 for work and felt right at home.

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.
