The perfect suite!
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.

A nice quiet and comfortable stay
We enjoyed staying here! If you are looking for a nice quiet get-away in the Shawnigan Lake area, this is it. A nice big comfy bed, beautiful gas fireplace, and a big kitchen. We also liked the outdoor patio area and fenced yard. Ruby the resident doggo was especially sweet and happy to meet us. Check-in process was simple and painless😊. We'd definitely stay here again!

Family Visit
Great communication for our stay. Pictures are accurate and exactly as posted. Hot tub, barbeque, outdoor fire & comfy couches on the covered deck are bonus. Sylvain & Karen were available for any questions when needed. Of course sweet Ruby is an added bonus - esp for our pup who eagerly waited to see her come down the stairs. Def hoping to return again when visiting family in the area. Thank you Sylvain, Karen & Ruby!

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.

We just needed a place to stay while we worked near by, the bonus was that our dog could be off leash in a fenced Yard. Ruby the golden doodle is the sweetest soul and she was so patient and understanding with our crazy dog. Overall a very good experience and a super cozy comfy place.
