At the south end of St. Mary Lake you’ll find The Lakehouse, located on a one acre grassy lot that slopes gently to the
lake’s sparkling waters and allows for relaxing fun such as badminton, bocce, fishing, swimming, and just plain old lazing about.This rancher-style home has 3 bedrooms with one and a half baths and will comfortably hold any family. There is a beautiful view of the lake from the living room and dining room as well as the large sundeck off the back of the house.
You can relax on the deck, in the hot-tub, on a lawn–chair or in the hammock. Take a walk to the water’s edge where you’ll find birds, turtles, beavers and more. A canoe is provided for your enjoyment and this area of the lake is renowned for its great bass and trout fishing - you can even fish from the dock! A 100’ boardwalk leads you to a 10’ x 20’ dock - perfect for swimming off of, sunbathing or just plain hanging out and gazing at the lake. There is no sandy beach, but easy access to the water is from a ladder on the dock.
This home makes for a great family holiday destination, or a romantic retreat. The kitchen is fully equipped, just bring your favourite fixings and enjoy.
BC Ferries reservations are recommended

Renters' Comments: "...We had a great time, the boys caught all kinds of fish, and enjoyed the canoe. My Mom was very surprised and enjoyed relaxing with such beautiful surroundings. We saw eagles flying overhead, we saw blue jays eating from the feeder and we even got to meet a mother deer and her baby on the front lawn!!!...very quiet and private...a great dock...we really enjoyed the boat and swimming out in the lake was lovely and warm...an easy and great family holiday spot…. The Lakehouse was awesome… it was everything we were looking for and then some…. Very peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, it was just ideal, I could go on and on…."
