A retreat not far from our home

The property was the place to spend time away from the city without a long drive. It was a nice spot for a bit of respite.

Short get away

The house and yard are exactly as described. The suite was so comfortable and spacious. The flowers were just starting to come up but I’m sure they look as great as the pics show once fully bloomed. We got to enjoy the hot tub for a few nights and the outdoor fire table when the weather prevented us to relax in the tub. Ruby was the best co-host anyone could ask for. Sweet, cuddly, playful and funny are just a few words to describe this amazing pup. We looked forward to all her visits, especially the morning ones. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything We Hoped

Our desire was to enjoy the last weekend of summer outside so we chose this place. We spent most of the weekend around the outdoor fire on comfy couches under cozy blankets. The backyard is gorgeous and you can enjoy it rain or shine. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Everything is clean and comfortable. The hosts were great and responsive when needed.

A special anniversary stay

My husband and I decided we needed to get away for an anniversary celebration and wanted to take our dog. After hunting through listings, we found this place in the Shawnigan Lake area that had a fenced yard and welcomed dogs. We are so glad we found this location. It was perfect for us and our dog. We arrived to discover a "Happy Anniversary" banner over the little fireplace and some chocolates. So very kind! The apartment itself is on the lower floor of the house and is very well appointed. Everything one could want in the kitchen and the place was spotless. The outdoor seating area was really well laid out but we didn't use it due to the snow and hail. We could have put on the heaters, but we were quite cosy in the apartment itself. The backyard was ideal for our dog and she thought Ruby, the resident dog, was wonderful although I think Ruby wasn't as thrilled with the young, bouncy border collie. Once our dog understood that Ruby didn't want to wrestle, they happily coexisted. The location was great for us to do some hikes each day. Good access to the Kinsol Trestle, the Cobble Hill Mountain Regional Recreational Area and Old Baldy mountain. Also there were plenty of restaurants and vineyards to visit where we could celebrate our hikes and anniversary. All in all we had a wonderful stay and would enthusiastically recommend this listing to others.

Great garden suite!

Lovely garden suite with beautiful deck/ backyard access. Loved the fire table and hot tub. Owners werent home during our stay so it was very private. 5 min drive to the lake & town. Lots of little gems (hikes, shops, swim spots etc) around this area . Picture is from hike about 20 min away from house, with great views overlooking Shawnigan lake!

This beautiful gem is perfectly located at Shawnigan Lake, approximately 30 min from downtown Victoria. This property comes fully equipped with a kitchen, BBQ, king size bed, patio, and a hot tub. And of course, Ruby the Doodle is an extra addition to the full suite of amenities, offering security, taste testing, and companionship. We really enjoyed staying at this property and we would recommend this home away from home to anyone! Thank you Sylvain!!!

The indoor space was so cozy and bright with lots of windows and an eclectic fireplace. The outdoor space was spacious and beautiful. We love dogs and every morning Ruby came to greet us. The weather wasn't ideal while we visited but looking forward to going back when the sun is out.

A Relaxing Stay with Our Dogs in the Oasis

We, a party of three with dogs had a great stay. The house had everything we need for a 2-day stay. The courtyard setting had a great ambiance, very welcoming and relaxing, just like in the pictures. What I enjoyed most is having my dog lying on one side and Ruby, the house dog, on the other side with me, listening to the soothing flow of water cascading from the fountain next to us. That’s my version of a mini vacation ! Thank you Sylvain and Ruby, the best four-legged hostess!

Enjoyed our stay. Great amenities, we used the bbq, hot tub & yard was big & fenced. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor space which included a fire table & a outdoor covered seating area looked really nice. Hopefully, next time when the weather is warmer. Host was kind & we would definitely stay here again.
