Cottage vacation rentals in Shuswap Lake

If you’re looking to quiet the mind and reconnect with your soul, look no further! This magical lakeside retreat offered one of the most peaceful getaways experienced thus far. The home was luxurious with thoughtful touches throughout. From tranquil morning coffees on the dock, to kayaking and admiring the painted turtles and various birds, to stargazing every evening, this spot checked every box for us! Susi and Bruce were amazing hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed. We recommend this rare gem without hesitation, and we look forward to our next stay!

My friends and I had a wonderful getaway stay at the cabin. It was the best getting to watch DVDs together like we used to back in the day with no Internet or service! Natalia was an amazing host and really cared about our stay even to go as far as helping us find transportation around to and from the golf course. The sauna and hot tub are an amazing added bonus on top of the ideal location near the lake and with all the animals around. Would recommend this stay to everyone!

We had a fantastic stay at Lance’s place. The cottage was so cosy and loved the Dutch look of the building! Lance was a fab host and we loved his dog who came to say hello a few times. Super quiet place and loved sitting on the upstairs deck listening to nature. Would recommend! x

Thank you for hosting us - we had an idyllic, peaceful stay but not lacking in things to do. We enjoyed the hot weather by relaxing on the red chairs on the dock, taking the kayaks out on the lake, having a BBQ in the evening, chilling in the hot tub. It was a beautiful setting and the lake house cabin itself was lovely - beautifully decorated and incredible views. Emma was a very responsive host and had all the information either to hand or a quick message away. We are so pleased we found Emma’s place and wish we had longer than a couple of nights as we would’ve happily stayed the week if we weren’t moving around!

We had the most amazing time in this beautiful cabin! The pictures do not do it justice of how beautiful the surroundings are! We felt immediately at home and enjoyed every bit of it. And Lisa is the absolute sweetest host, responds super fast and is committed to her guests having the best time:) Thanks again Lisa we will be back!:)

Wonderful place to stay! Great lay up. Lots of space. Nice and close to golf course. Very comfortable!

Great rustic cabin with lots of water toys to use or rent. Easy access to all lake amenities. Lots of appeal for families, but fine for the two of us.

Dawson and his family/staff exceeded all expectations. We couldn't of asked for a better vacation. We had the absolute best time and had so much to keep 3 kids entertained. We look forward to coming back next year.

Excellent time at the cabin, didn't need to bring a thing everything was there and ready to be used. Beautiful surroundings and easy access to the lake if needed.

Absolutely loved this cabin and Dawson and Allan were great hosts, can't wait to come back

Our family loved our stay here! Though we weren’t able to stay long, it was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. With the beach out front and various activities on the beach and within the resort, this place was perfect for us and our kids. Dawson and his father were also extremely friendly, kind, and helpful upon arrival and with any questions we had. Thank you!!

wow!!! what a great location. Amazing place for families! Private lakefront. We really enjoyed the time. Jason and the staff have provided amazing service. We love to come back again:)

Beautiful location. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed to chill out for the week.

This was probably the highlight of our trip. The unit itself was relatively typical to what you would expect in a little lakeside community but the grounds and amenities offered were absolutely, without a doubt 100 % over and above our expectations. We spent a week from Calgary to the island and back, and the 18ish hours we spent at Dawson's would likely take the cake for our favourite part of the trip. There is something to be said about family time on a private beach with a beautiful view. There were plenty of water toys, rafts, and floats available to use. And then there was the sand pit, swing, volleyball net, and more and more and more. I wasn't even loaded up yet and three of the four of us were already messaging others to plan trips to return (the fourth is 5, so he has just asked every day since returning when we will go back to "live at the lake house", haha). I was a little more pricey than our budget would have liked, but it was absolutely worth it !!!

Get place to stay in Sorrento. Friendly staff and easy to get ahold of Dawson for anything you need. Free kayak usage, lawn games, fire pit on the beach and wonderful view points on the beach front. The cabin was clean and looked like the photos, had character and was nice to have a covered private porch outside.

Peter’s place was the perfect setting for a fishing weekend. The house was incredibly comfortable with everything you’d need to make yourself right at home. The lake was beautiful and the fish were biting. Being able to bring our own boat and tie up to the private dock was really nice but it is a bit of a workout getting up the hill to the house. Good exercise at the very least! There was a very welcoming sign for us to identify the house and a nice bottle of BC wine and chocolate as well. Nice touch! Peter was a very accommodating host. We made a mistake with our initial booking and he was quick to respond and help me get the dates right. Hope to come back one day soon.

This place is 10/10. Everything you need in a beautiful vacation property to share with family and friends. This place is so kid friendly, lots of kids plates and cups, even a high chair. The views are mesmerizing, and the lake is crystal clear. Be sure to check out Finns if you bring your boat. Neighbour's are very friendly and we felt right at home. Would stay here again many more times! Jad was such a responsive host, he gave us many recommendations and always assisted us with anything during our stay. If you are looking for a place on the shushwap, definitely don't hesitate and book this up! Thanks Jad for the best summer week!

We had a fabulous vacation at the cabin. It was the perfect place to unplug and relax with our family. We kayaked, used the paddle boards and jumped from the rope swing. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Perfect place to make family memories.

Stop scrolling - you want to stay here. And, once you get here, you won’t want to leave. My kids asked if we could abandon our lives and live in Leah and Bobbie’s cabin forever, and I gave it serious consideration. In the end we settled on a plan to return frequently, and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

Awesome place, awesome staff, could not have been happier and will definitely return next year.

Liz was a fantastic host. She was friendly, quick to respond, and helpful! The place was exactly as described. You can tell thought was put into making guests feel at home. Thanks for hosting us!

For a family of 6 staying at Harpers Haven, was a perfect size. Its location can't be beat for access to the area from direct lake access, Finz 3 doors down, to all the other area tourist spots like wineries, Shuswap Pie Shop, DeMilles market, etc. We even had one day at Silverstar in Vernon to do some hiking and downhill biking. Everyone slept upstairs and the main level had lots of space to spread out. The kitchen was excellent with all new appliances. I have to say that having a dock was the best thing if you have a boat. We could jump on the lake any time and then return for lunch, cool downs or gab something you missed. Our host, Leanne, was awesome to work with. Any questions we had she answered right away. We have all ready recommended their place to friends since we have gotten back from vacation!
