Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Shawnigan Lake

The house is exactly as described. The most beautiful views we have ever had at a rental. Bald eagles flew right past us. We had an issue with the fire alarm and Sylvia quickly sent a maintenance person to fix the issue. The only downside was the bedroom upstairs with the skylight was very bright, but waking up to the sound of waves outside more than made up for that. highly recommend.

Lovely house with amazing deck to relax and great views. Erik gave a passionate introduction at the check in that would make you want to stay for much longer. The perfect nature getaway!

Amazing place. Wish i could spend more time there. Thank you for hosting

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

The Lakehouse was beautiful and very peaceful. The house is spacious and comfortable with a terrific view! We really enjoyed having access to the paddle boards and kayak and had a wonderful time on Shawnigan Lake.

The Piper's Nest was perfect. Clean and well maintained and welcoming. The hosts were responsive and polite, and even though they live on the same property, it truly felt like the Nest was out own, tucked away in a private corner of the forest. Very well designed for relaxation and comfort. Thanks!

We had a great stay - the huge windows and expansive deck take full advantage of the views! We found the location to be fantastic - quiet, near Lost Lake trail (2 minute drive or stroll down the road), convenient to grocery shopping, restaurants, amazing Nanaimo city parks, and the waterfront, where we had a fantastic whale watching afternoon with Vancouver Island Whale Watch. The home was extremely clean, which we really appreciated. There was ample parking, too. We enjoyed the sectional sofas on both levels for family game night and movie night. And, it was SO convenient to have a washer and dryer for washing our hiking clothes. We appreciated that there were basics, like toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, salt and pepper, detergent and dryer sheets, that we have sometimes had to go out and buy when staying in other places. Nice touch!

What a wonderful spot! Gorgeous views, quiet and serene, a perfect home base to explore the whole island. The kitchen was great for cooking, and we enjoyed several meals on the deck, listening to the birds and taking in the views. Lisa was a great host, and even though her house was nearby, it felt very separate. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to return on future visits to the island!

We had such a lovely stay at Dal’s place! The king sized bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. The shower had great water pressure, which is always a plus, and the whole suite was clean, cozy, and welcoming. The outdoor seating area was a definite highlight. We spent time enjoying the sunshine while watching deer graze nearby, with a charming peek-a-boo view of the ocean in the distance — so peaceful and serene. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. It’s just a short walk to the Saturday market and local shops, yet far enough away that it still feels quiet and private. We felt extremely safe the entire time, which made it all the more relaxing. Dal was also a good host, offering helpful local recommendations that we really appreciated. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s ! The suite is close to the the Cowichan Valley Trail ( part of the Trans Canada Trail ) which we cycled for 2 days. Also close to town and restaurants and the famous totems of Duncan. Lots of lovely touches and a very comfortable bed . Would highly recommend Jane’s air bnb .

We had a wonderful stay They we very helpful with everything. And we can't thank Chris enouth for helping us with our car issues Absolute Legend !

Two words gorgeous views!!! Looked forward to having my cup of coffee on Kelley & Kent’s patio every morning. A very peaceful location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Ganges, but still less than five minute trip into town. Both Kelley & Kent were very welcoming and accommodating to our early check in. Their air bnb had all the amenities you could need to make you feel right at home. Beds were super comfy! I would HIGHLY recommend booking this accommodation, you won’t be disappointed! :) Enjoy!

Our stay in Port Renfrew was a great reset and time of rest before we headed to other adventures on the south end of Vancouver Island. This Airbnb location and host are great -- clean, organized, and with stunning views.

This is a great place to stay to be next to downtown Victoria. It’s as advertised in the listing’s description and photos. There’s plenty of room for a couple and everything is in good condition. Washroom facilities, washer/dryer units, and wifi all worked well. We did not use any of the cooking appliances. The location is walkable to plenty of restaurants/bars in the area. We were comfortable and felt safe walking around at night; we did not have any issues with noise. Agata is a great host! Her instructions made check-in and check-out super easy. She responded within minutes anytime I messaged her. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially for couples, if you want to be next to downtown Victoria.

Beautiful condo in a perfect location for our trip. Easy to navigate area, grocery and other necessities nearby. Absolutely peaceful environment and always felt very safe. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Nina has a beautiful and peaceful space! It‘s easy accessible with the car. Everything you need is there and she was even flexible with the checkout time. We would recommend and come back anytime.

Wonderful home in a beautiful neighborhood! Super close walk to the park, and good distance to both downtown and the ferry terminal. Host was flexible with our check-in time so we didn’t have to worry about arriving a few minutes early. Would stay again!

Great host great place

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

The house is in a quiet area with a clear view of the sea. I feel lucky to have stayed here.

Very nice hosts! Gone above and beyond to help us with everything. Will definitely recommend and go to this place again! Very friendly and polite

This house is very grand and a great stay for multiple families. Our family had a lovely stay and would recommend Mejbien’s place.

The place is amazing, and Billy was a great host. Every part of the property and accommodation is great. We especially enjoyed the private river access, sauna, and comfortable, well set up cabin. The space is also super flexible with lots to do, lots of places to hang out, and works for big groups. Finally, we loved how well prepared and clear things were in terms of pre-made fire places, instructions, etc. Great experience and hope to return for sure.

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.
