About this cottage rental
One of the last original Shawnigan Lake cottages in the Shawnigan Lake area! This 720 sq ft 100 year old plus cabin has 2 bedrooms (sleeps 1 - 5), that sits on private lot surrounded by stately tall trees nestled at the base of Mt Baldy with incredible views of Shawnigan Lake. It had housed E. J. Hugh's parents while they were care takers for the impressive Shawnigan Lake Lodge. Totally renovated in 2006 and upgraded every year since. It is immaculately maintained. Just a stones throw to the lake and the dock which is shared with the cabin directly in front of this property. Many amenities will make your stay comfortable, relaxing and pleasant. Enjoy swimming, fishing, boating and nature watching (watch for the beaver) from the dock. Relax on the covered porch or open deck. Short walk to licensed restaurant, marina and water equipment rentals. Village is less than 2 km (1.5 miles), offering convenience stores, gas station, pharmacy, restaurants, bakery, cafe, boutiques and more. We are here to help you have a great vacation!

Great location for a Shawnigan Lake vacation. Our family enjoyed it very much. It is a nice cabin with a lovely lake view. Despite being across the road from the water, the shared dock worked really well to have as much access to the lake as we desired. 100% recommended

Great lake views. Cottage was well equipped with everything you'd need. Providing shampoo and conditioner would be an added bonus. Loved the wood stove. There was a bit of road noise in the mornings if the windows are open. Owner was easy to communicate with.

Cute little cottage steps from the lake - nicely appointed with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The bedding is definitely on point.Thanks for everything!

This is a very cute cabin but I've never stayed in a vacation home with so many rules. I have waited to rate so I could objectively gather my thoughts. No long showers or showering close to each other.
The driveway is steep so if you happen to spin some gravel out you have to let the owner know so she can have the handyman bring over a rake so you can rake it back or she will charge you if she has to do it. I wonder where the handyman was when we used the microwave and coffee machine at the same time and the breaker blew, I was told to move the microwave off a higher shelf to another plug in and find another for coffee machine. We wanted to use our own Roku on the TV and she sent me a nasty message asking why I was putting our Roku on her TV??? Maybe we could rent a movie which is normal. Check out 10am so I had anxiety to get up and be expected to put all our bedding in the pillow cases as well as all the towels. and if the mattress cover is dirty add that also. Then the kitchen has to be exactly as you found it, oven cleaned, bbq cleaned. My gosh what was the cleaning fee for? The first page said garbage outside and separated in bins, the second page said leave garbage by fireplace. And lastly you cannot sleep with the windows open, it is noisy as you're on a busy road between the cabin and the lake and it was super-hot while we were there and the fans were not enough. If you use PayPal there is a note left that you need to leave $5 on the table. BTW I am very clean.
