Introduction

We are a professional couple who love the outdoors, traveling, gardening, hiking, our pets (of course!) and everything local and sustainable. We try to protect the environment and leave as small a footprint as possible.

Our home sits on a very quiet street in beautiful Shawnigan Lake, just three minutes from the charming village, which offers a gas bar, several restaurants, general store, post office, yoga studio, etc. Access to the pristine lake is close
