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 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.

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!

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!

We had an amazing stay! Beautiful location and property. It exceeded my expectations! The host was friendly and helpful, the house was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay, and the area was gorgeous.

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 place was great and wanting for nothing. Very clean and comfortable and had everything to accommodate a big group. The kitchen was especially well equipped. The hosts were very welcoming, generous, and accommodating. It was lovely that we could arrive earlier in the day and relax in the morning with a later check out. We loved the “single lady” chickens and being able to gather eggs in the morning. The hot tub was a great size for a large group, very clean and well maintained. Comfy beds as well. Thanks for a delightful weekend for our Bookgroup!

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!

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 ✨

We enjoyed our stay, which was relaxing, comfortable and felt like home. The bed and couch are both comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. What a treat to have croissants in the freezer! We were pleased that we could bring our dog with us. The Airbnb is close to Shawnigan Lake, a couple of blocks away. We hope to return.

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

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.

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!

An amazing, well equipped cabin overlooking a pristine lake. The cabin is central to the island making it ideal to stay at while exploring Salt Spring! We were able to cook a full meal thanks to the thoughtful stocked kitchen and amenities! Ashley was a delight to communicate and even before we left we agreed we'd return someday.

We loved our stay! Our hosts were responsive and accommodating of our large group. Everything was great and we’d loved to stay again!

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 :)

The place is really nice. Private driveway hides the house. Everything in the house is clean and comes handy. We especially enjoyed the large back yard where my dog played three days of fetch. Would definitely come back in the summer to explore some water activities on the lake.

The cottage is amazing, direct access to the beautiful lake. There are boats, kayaks or stand-up paddle boards for free including life jackets. The kitchen is very well equipped and the hosts are super friendly and supportive. We had an amazing time here and we can totally recommend this cottage to everyone.

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.
