The house was as pictured - beautiful, clean, up-to-date, and the kitchen was sufficiently equipped. The decks were great, and the dock was big enough for a big group to hang out on. We did not use the hot tub, but the BBQ worked great!The beds were very comfortable, and we loved the automatic shades for the huge windows. We appreciated that there were tv's in the bedrooms. The pillows were quite thick/high, so if you are fussy about your pillow, bring your own.The bathrooms had everything you needed in them, and the water pressure was good. We appreciated the big basket of beach towels that were provided!The hosts really went out of their way to make sure that our stay was above-and-beyond. Their communication couldn't have been better. Highly recommend!

Overall an incredible weekend at Kelly's Sunset Lake Retreat. They were very communicative with us for needs that we needed. The homeowners Sandy and Ryan were on everything so it was nice to know we had someone taking care of us. Hoping we can come back next year.

Perfect getaway for family lake trip

We wanted to book somewhere special for my mother in laws birthday trip and this place was perfect! The house was amazing for a large family group and each of us had enough privacy and space. Kitchen was well equipped and no shortage of linens. But the real star here is the dock and deck- we spent almost our entire time there enjoying the beautiful views and water of lake Shawnigan

Beautiful stay at Shawnigan Lake

Kelly’s Hideaway is a pristine, new house on a quiet crescent with a beautiful private dock on the lake. The open concept is spacious, yet still cozy, and the inside/outside folding doors provide a breathtaking view. Our family truly loved our stay. We had friends come visit and we all enjoyed a dinner cooked by the wonderful Miss M. We appreciated the communication with the host/management company which was quick and straightforward. This was our favorite VRBO stay.
