A firepit, a garden and laundry facilities are just a few of the amenities provided at Lakeside Forest Cabin in Private Resort | Boat Slip + Amenities. For some rest and relaxation, visit the hot tub. In addition to a gym, guests can connect to free in-room WiFi.
Built in 2019, this beautiful cabin is part of a private, lakefront resort community on Vancouver Island, with just 40 individually owned units — each with its own driveway and yard. Tucked against the forest edge, the cabin offers quiet seclusion with all the comforts of a resort stay.
Step out into nature from your covered patio or gather around the handcrafted stone fire pit under towering trees. In the cooler months, enjoy peaceful fireside evenings surrounded by nature.
Resort amenities include:
- Clubhouse with gym, pool table, hot tub, and lounge space
- A separate lakehouse with BBQ, ping pong, and sweeping lake views
- Walking trails at the entrance: choose a gentle 1km wetland loop or challenge yourself with the summit hike up Bald Mountain
- Private boat slip included — perfect for year-round fishing, stargazing on the boat, or water sports
Please note: Pools are closed from October through April.
Inside, the cabin is warm, stylish, and thoughtfully laid out for both comfort and privacy:
- 2 bedrooms, one on each level for separation and privacy
- 2 full bathrooms, including a bathtub — perfect after a day outdoors
- A fully equipped kitchen and open-concept living area with forest views
- A cozy loft space with TV and pull-out sofa for movie nights or extra guests
This cabin offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and recreation in any season. Experience the mild, peaceful climate of Vancouver Island at its best from this central location with easy access to the whole island.
