My quaint lakefront home is tucked away in a peaceful, private forest setting beside the water. Mornings here often begin with a spectacular sunrise over Shawnigan Lake. Whether you’re here to write, research, reflect or simply slow down, this space offers a quiet, inspiring environment that supports focused work and deep rest. The home has two bedrooms, one of which includes a small desk. I often prefer to work at the kitchen table, where the lake and forest views offer a beautiful backdrop for writing or focused work. An exterior bunkhouse provides additional sleeping space and functions as a third bedroom. I divide my time between Vancouver Island and the Kootenays, and during the fall and winter months my lakefront home is available for others to enjoy. From October to May, I welcome guests seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature yet within easy reach of vibrant urban and academic centres. *Please note that there is a cleaning fee of $300.
