Our stay in Shawnigan Lake provided something for all ages. We were close enough to easily travel to Victoria, the Malahat Skywalk, a local cider and distillery, wineries, walking and biking trails, great take out food and bakeries, and Cowichan and Duncan. The home had a great downstairs room for watching shows and gaming. Upstairs was a living area for looking out at the pool and the lake. The pool area was fantastic for swimming and relaxing. There is a hot tub and a sauna. We also enjoyed the workout room. The kitchen was great for cooking meals. Check in was simple and the host answered right away when we had questions. Our week passed too fast. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice facilities, pool was great. Cleanliness was an issue. We found bits of bacon under the sofas in the main room along with all sorts of dust and dirt which we vacuumed up. The grease under the range hood was considerable and we wiped that clean as best we could. We had some issues with plumbing and the septic field backing up and overflowing into the showers downstairs. Host had to get a plumber who said that bacon grease had clogged the drains and for us not to put bacon grease into the plumbing. We have stayed at many summer properties as a family and are VERY familiar with septic fields and how delicate they are and would NEVER dump bacon grease into any septic system, ever. The downstairs bedrooms were not air conditioned at were hot at night. We were requested to leave by 10AM (the listing said 11AM) which was a little uncomfortable for the gang. That said, the place was well laid out and amenities like the little gym, contained outdoor area, hot tub, and pool were great. Lots of dishes and plates and the LARGE refrigerator freezers were awesome. The view was nice, there was a little road noise with the odd harley going by but was generally not an issue. Having the little store so close was handy. Having two dishwashers was very useful!! Overall stay was good but would suggest a deep clean of the place. -Russell Kennedy, MD

We were a group of 10. The property had a lot of nice amenities. We enjoyed the use of the pool, hot tub and gas fire pit. There were tons of beach towels and bath towels available for use. It was great to have the use of the Kayaks at the lake. There was lots of outdoor seating and we appreciated the gazebo for shade. The lake access is across a busy street and down a fairly steep trail. (The elderly people in our group were not able to access the dock.)The house itself needed a little more attention to detail in the cleaning. There were areas that needed a through dusting. Lots of cobwebs on the high ceilings. The oven was not working when we were there. The stove top required a lighter to light. There was a gas grill, gas pizza oven and an electric ninja” wood fire”cooker outdoors. We would have appreciated some hooks either in the bathrooms or bedrooms for hanging towels to dry. There were lots of games and puzzles available.
