We went over the May long weekend 19th - 21st. We took our two boys 5 & 8. The resort has a really fantastic setting. Not far from the town of Lund if you need to pick up something small. Because the resort is on a hill, can't leave your kids to run around without close supervision, which wasn't a... More

We had a great weekend at a cabin at Desolation Resort. The location is very beautiful, and the cabin was rustic and comfortable. We loved the hot tub on the deck and the kayaks and canoes. I highly recommend Desolation Resort. However, there are a couple of things you should be aware of. The resort is built on the side... More

Lund, a small town at the beginning of Hwy 101, offered a nice surprise with the Desolation Resort. We stayed at Chalet 10, one of the newer chalets, perfect for the 4 of us. Clean, cozy, and well equipped with a great view over the sound. The warm welcome and advise of the proprietors, who spoke English and German and... More

We spent 4 nights at Desolation Resort with our two dogs. Our cottage was great - very clean, spacious, and well equipped. If you are looking for a getaway to get away from it all, this is a good bet. With our dogs along for the experience, we were somewhat limited in what we could and couldn't do but we... More

Just experienced a lovely stay at Desolation Resort in Powell River. It was wonderful to stay on the water and be able to enjoy a glass of wine on our deck and enjoy the view of Okeover Arm. The furnishings inside our 2-bdrm wood cabin were very tasteful. The night sky was incredible! Just a 5 minute walk from the... More

My husband and I spent one night in Chalet 5, a huge self-contained cottage that would easily sleep 6. We were in the area and would have loved 2 nights but they were fully booked and I can see why. We were travelling with our small dog and found the place through a pet-friendly site. The chalets are cozy, clean... More

This is a great place to stay and appreciate the beauty of BC. We stayed 3 nights in Chalet #10. Very clean, very private, all amenities worked. I would recommend spending a day on Savary Island and rent bikes to explore the island. It's a short water taxi ride from Lund. Be sure to have lunch at Nancy's Bakery in... More

An excellent place to stay with friends on a kayaking holiday in Desolation Sound. The holiday homes are large, the rooms are large, comfortable and cosy, and the freely available canoes and kayaks ( tiny ones) are pretty good too. Weather can be changeable. Bring waterproofs.

Spent 4 nights here in winter of 2009 and absolutely loved it. Just writing this review makes me want to go back. The cabins are amazing, the owners are extremely friendly, and the location could not be better. The weekend could not have been more relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. They have free kayaks that we missed out on... More

Had an increadible dinner at the Laughing Oyster near by and then returned to our room for a quite evening. A wonderful place over looking Okeover inlet cuddled on the deck listening to the birds and ocean. One of the most romantic evenings we've had in a long time. Comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff. Hard to find but worth... More
