Vacation rentals with a firepit in Colwood

We had such a lovely, restful family stay at Elizabeth's beautiful farmhouse. The setting is peaceful and beautiful and the whole house is very well equipped. We loved seeing animals - both farm and wild - from the deck and windows. It was the perfect place to cozy up after adventures on nearby beaches, warming up with the wood stove and hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay, and Elizabeth was a great host.

We were very impressed with this Airbnb - definitely exceeded our expectations in terms of location, size, and things to do close by. Check-in was a breeze, we had absolutely everything we needed at the airbnb (and more), beds and linens were so comfortable, and very spacious. An added bonus was the swan lake sanctuary within 5 minutes walking distance, which was great for us to explore as a family Super close to downtown so didn't feel like an inconvenience to drive to go shopping and explore. Would highly recommend and I'd stay again in a heartbeat

We had a fantastic stay - right on the ocean with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The jacuzzi overlooking the water was enjoyed by all. The kitchen is spectacular with everything you could need and the living area is very nice. The full wall of glass windows and sliders with the wrap-around deck was great. The heated floors were an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

Great great place! So many games for our family and the place is a dog heaven! The beds are comfy (tho every bedroom mattress is different - we had to rotate beds cause some people prefer softer / firmer etc, but nice we had the ability to switch around) We didn’t try the sauna or soak tub :( we were wiped from our day adventures. Victoria is kind of like an hour away cause of traffic, which we had the worse luck with. Ton of parking in the driveway for our huge SUV and the kitchen was well stocked! Super responsive host too! We would stay again!

We had originally booked this home for May 2024 but we had to cancel last minute because of a passport mess-up. Josie was kind enough to credit us the stay and let us reschedule. Once we arrived, our jaws dropped. The photos don’t do justice how stunning this space is. I leapt around the first 24 hours because I was so thrilled to be there with my friends, celebrating life. The beds are a dream, the forest is enchanting and we could not get enough of the outdoor shower/sauna experience. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!!

What a slice of heaven! It was even better than the pictures! We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights here (wishing it was longer) with our 18&21 year olds. There was plenty of space for us to gather as a fam or find a chill out spot alone. Allison and Sean were great with communication and giving advice for good hiking trails too! We would love to one day return!

The house was perfect for what we were looking for and it was a beautiful stay! Deborah was so friendly and responsive. The property was so clean, organized and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

We loved our family getaway at Robyn’s place! It had everything we needed and the property feels like a private retreat. We look forward to coming back!

We had a nice stay of three weeks at this Airbnb. The location is perfect, just a short drive from Victoria as well as close to stunning hiking trails. The place was very clean. We liked that it had a large TV in the living room and another one in the master bedroom. The gas fireplace in the living room was perfect for taking the chill off of the downstairs area in the morning, the only time we felt we needed to use it. The master bedroom was spacious with lots of closet space and drawers. We used the second bedroom as an office, and liked that there was enough space for two people to work. The upstairs bathroom featured a huge walk-in shower that was a real treat. We also enjoyed meeting the owner and his friendly dog, Biscuit, who live next door. We thought this airbnb was very reasonably priced and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! Ryan was incredibly welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The place was spotless, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect—just a short drive from some stunning hiking trails, making it easy to enjoy nature. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a peaceful getaway, this spot is ideal. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Thoughtfully furnished and comfortable- would love to stay again!

: We stayed at Jiva’s Airbnb for a girls’ weekend to celebrate my mom’s 70th, and it was absolutely perfect! The views of the ocean and mountains are simply breathtaking—better than we could have imagined. The accommodations were wonderful: very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub every night, taking in the scenery and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect spot for a special celebration, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place, everything you need. Very responsive, helpful and accomodating host. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet place with a beautiful view of Shawnigan Lake. The suite was very comfortable and clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing place! So convenient with the parking spot right outside — it was really easy to bring in all of our stuff. The views from the living room and bedroom were beautiful and we loved waking up looking at the lake in the morning. The beach and lake are stunning and the shallow water in front of the beach would be fantastic for kids. The condo was pristine and very well-appointed and the beds were comfy (even the pillows!). We came for a couple’s getaway weekend, but will definitely be coming back and bringing the kids next summer! Francis was very responsive during our stay and check in was easy. This place checked every box.

We enjoyed our stay, which was relaxing, comfortable and felt like home. The bed and couch are both comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. What a treat to have croissants in the freezer! We were pleased that we could bring our dog with us. The Airbnb is close to Shawnigan Lake, a couple of blocks away. We hope to return.

Such a wonderful experience at their treehouse, can't wait to come back another time~. Hosts were accommodating and responsive!

Had the best time staying at this cabin! It was so cute and clean, and matched the description perfectly! Loved having the hot tub as well. Wished we could’ve stayed longer!!

My family and I had a very lovely, relaxing stay at Jessica’s cabin. It has everything you would need for a weekend getaway. One thing we wish we packed were eye masks as the sun woke us up due to no window coverings!

There was 6 of us staying in the cabin and we were never tripping over one another. It was clean and cozy. We had to start a fire one night as it was damp outside and cool inside and we love wood fire heat, so having that option was fantastic. We could dry out our wet gear right by the fire. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with pots and pans and bowls and cutlery. We found out that the renters before us broke the BBQ so they quickly replaced it with a brand new one the very next day and had it all set up in no time! We had a great chat with the owners and they gave us a few great tips on where to go fishing. Their property is beautiful, the 20 acres to explore were fantastic. We loved the location too. It was central to most of our family that lives on the island so we were able to visit lots. It was only about 35 minutes from Victoria and the Sooke Potholes hike was so pretty. There are so many beautiful hikes it was hard to pick just a few.

Our family of six had an absolutely wonderful vacation at James's place! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The location is truly spectacular – so peaceful and serene, with breathtaking views. We were so impressed with how well-equipped everything was. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed, and the outdoor BBQ area was a real treat. We especially loved the balcony overlooking that amazing lake; it was the perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. There was more than enough room for our big family to spread out comfortably. A special mention must go to Bev and Don, the neighbours next door. They were so incredibly kind and welcoming – it truly felt like we were visiting family! The only minor downsides were the master bedroom's spring mattress and wishing for curtains on the living room's picture window. Overall, a fantastic stay and highly recommended!

Great place to stay !! Great communication and outdoor shower with hot water was the amazing !!

We had such a great stay at this Airbnb! Matt was a super accommodating host—he even had the pack ’n play and high chair all set up for our kids, which was really thoughtful. He gave us all the info we needed about the cabin and fun things to do around Jordan River. The cabin itself was awesome—clean, cozy, and really well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the quality of the dinnerware and appliances was top-notch. The cedar hot tub was clean and such a nice bonus! My family and I had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Such a beautiful home and getaway. The area is nice and quiet. We loved our time here at Trini and Kim’s cabin. They were super responsive when we had questions. Every thing you can possibly need was in the cabin. They even had plates, dinner ware for toddlers/kiddos! Tons of tea and all the appliances and gadgets you could possibly need. Our little guy and our doggies loved the yard space in front. Cabin is a bit close to the road but it’s a quiet road so we didn’t hear or worry about road traffic. Loved the windows and looking out as we enjoyed the fireplace and living room. Really enjoyed their spot.
