The little cabin by the lake was cute and suited our needs perfectly. We loved the random wildlife visitors like deer, bunnies and a turkey ….. yes a turkey 😅.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The suite was exactly as described, clean, spacious, fully equipped kitchen, and full laundry facilities. Very private yard, with the use of outdoor furniture, where we viewed wild turkey and deer. I liked that it was within walking distance of trails, the beach and eateries, with a short drive to the town centre for groceries and other goods. Easy access to other towns along the main artery, Hwy 1, for exploring the area and a short drive to the Mill Bay ferry and Victoria. Thanks Sean, we had a great stay! :)

Charming suite in Shawnigan Lake was excellent during our stay, it was close to everything we wanted to visit outside of Victoria BC. It was clean, beautifully decorated and lots of room for 2 people. A nice kitchen to prepare breakfast before our outings. The bed was very comfortable and the extra bedroom had a TV with a sofa. There was a patio with table and chairs which we used daily. The village atmosphere was amazing with good restaurants and coffee shops. One of the best rentals we had ever stayed in.

The suite was located close to a couple of coffee shops. The kitchen was well equipped and I liked having a washer and dryer. The shower is a little tight but the water pressure and temperature was good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
