Come and experience life in our 6-bdrm lake house, by the desirable Shawnigan Lake School. You can have the best of 'lake life' but also tour around the Garden City of Victoria (35 min) or mins from a ferry to Sydney by the Sea. Our warm & inviting home is ideal for multi-family gatherings or an escape for city-dwellers. Hosted by a family of 5, we have attention for detail. Enjoy the sun filled yard, late night fires and the open space and kitchen to entertain. Bonus: gym/7 person hot-tub.
The outside area has a beautiful, private garden, teared landing and grassy noel. With many areas around the house to entertain, play yard games and absorbed the large surrounding trees or star-lit skies. The upper deck provides a morning oasis for coffee and reading. There is a large area for fires, and a large deck with propane fire pit. When in season, we have herbs, tomatoes and garden that you can incorporate into the meals created in the large open-concept kitchen. In the off-season, curl up by one of the two fire places, enjoy its warmth and aroma, while creating family memories playing family games (provided). The Master bedroom offers a private three piece ensuite, with a view onto the back garden. Bunkbeds offer a fun space for kids to play and make memories. On the lower level provides superior gym equipment for the fitness lovers or a calm, retreat for the yoga enthusiasts. Make it a Bikram session by firing up the river stone fire-place. Each room provides comfort and offers a space to retreat, even amongst a full-house.
