Kw’as Lake House: Owner built by artist Pierre de Trey, the inside of this unique post and beam wood house was described by one guest as “like living inside a sculpture”. It was built with local wood, much of which was milled from fallen trees on the property, and many doors, stained glass windows, maple wood floors and fixtures were saved and lovingly refinished from turn of the century Victoria homes.

Other Activities: Kayaking, Wildlife Viewing

HAC176459 Toronto, Ontario
Review Submitted: November 16, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We stayed at Kwa's Lake House for 3 weeks during
our honeymoon this past summer. Upon arriving to
the home, we were absolutely blown away,
speechless to be exact. The pictures on the website
are GORGEOUS but in person, this place comes alive
in a way only imaginable once you have the
opportunity to see it for yourself. This entire
property is a true piece of artwork thanks to the
hard work and unique vision of the De Trey Family.
So much time and thought were put into the
structure of the Home and we were still discovering
the smallest details in the gardens, the decks, and
the house, 3 weeks later. Cortes Island is a magical
place and Annica, opening up your home to us
made us feel like one of the lucky ones who had a
chance to discover such a beautiful spot on this
Earth. Aside from the home itself, which is so hard
to tear yourself away from, we took several day
trips around Cortes Island. Hollyhock retreat was so
relaxing; the massage in the little cabin in the
forest was perfect. We hiked the entire span of
Kwa's park, went to the Farmers Markets every
week, spent many sunsets sitting on the beach at
Mansons Landing and found some unforgettable
Ocean spots on Cortes where we saw Sea Lions,
Purple Star fish, Bald Eagles, Baby deer, Elk, Flying
Squirrels, the list goes on. We have already
convinced our family to come here for a visit and
plan on returning at some point in the future for an
anniversary.

If you are looking for a private, beautiful, paradise,
with an excellent host who has a heart of gold and
a unique knowledge of this special Island, look no
further because you have arrived. Friends, family
and couples alike, Kwa's Lake House is your
answer. Thank you Annica for an experience of a
lifetime.

We had a great vacation at K'was House this summer. The house was perfect and the beach lovely. Our privacy was respected at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend this home for anyone wishing for a grand vacation in a paradise setting.

HAC80966 Portland Oregon, Victoria BC
Review Submitted: March 28, 2007 Date of Stay: March 2007
Anicca, what a pleasure it was staying in your
artistically, hand-crafted, organic home. Sitting on
the deck and looking out over the lake, we felt as if
we were living in a tree house.
Your gardens are inviting to the curious and full of
surprises. Swimming at your private beach, with
bathers diving from the rocks on the far distant
shore, made us think of a sunny Homer or Eakins
watercolor.
We ventured to the village crossroads to shop. We
visited Hollyhock; their gardens were a knockout!
We watched intergenerational groups construct
sand sculptures on the beach. Cortes Island is truly
a paradise, and your home was where the serenity
and beauty of the place washed over us.
We plan to return.

Review Submitted: March 27, 2007 Date of Stay: March 2007
Kw'as Lake House is absolutely unique. Created by
artists, it is a wonderfully comfortable home where
every nook contains treasures, stories and
unexpected delight. The unparalleled location
provides a stunning view out over Hague Lake at
the level of the eagles. We loved having breakfast
on the sundeck, surrounded by flowers and
hummingbirds and plan on returning again and
again.

Review Submitted: March 26, 2007 Date of Stay: March 2007
My family had a wonderful vacation at this home on
Hague Lake in June. My husband who loves fresh
water fishing was out on the lake every day and
came back with lots of delicious trout for supper.
My children loved playing on the sandy beach and
we all enjoyed swimming in the warm lake,
kayaking, and harvesting clams and oysters at the
nearby saltwater lagoon.
