Lakeside Gardens Resort

My husband and I just had a lovely evening away at Lakeside Gardens Resort! The owner Mark was very kind and gave us our pick of cabins as he had openings (shoulder season). We chose cabin #7 but would also recommend 6 or 8 for the lakefront access! The cabin itself is definitely small and quite rustic, but we came to enjoy the island and not sit inside all day so it was just fine for us. I would recommend bringing your own pillows and bedding, but other than that it had everything we needed. We enjoyed having a fire lakeside in the evening and strolling through the beautifully maintained gardens on the property. For the price and location, you really can't beat this on the island. We will absolutely be back!

Beautiful, well maintained, little cabins resort right on the lake. Basic and simple, yet neat. The only downside - early checkout - 10 am.

This place is amazing it always has good weather when we come. there is a ping pong table and a straight gravel road perfect for playing with your dogs.and it also has a great beach for relaxing in the sun and everyone there is really nice plus for any fisherman there is a dock and giant bass and perch and there is this small island looking area in the middle of the lake and it has millions of leaches. But overall it's a great place to stay a week or so with your friends and family 😁

Showed up excited for a little vacation with family. But we were shocked. We had to stay for one night and asked for our money back immediately. To be fair they gave us our money but at 90+ dollars a night this is abhorrent. We were crammed in between the neighbouring cabins like sardines. This place offers little (that’s generous) to no privacy. You can hear everything the other guests are doing and saying and the “amenities” are sad for such a high rate. The “cabin” was dirty and unfinished. The drapes were dusty and the loft bed was covered in graffiti (not photoed) and the cracks in the wood roof were crammed with paper towel. Not to mention the sheets smelled like someone else’s hair, they hadn’t been washed, and the bed itself is a thin piece of foam. The outdoor kitchen boasted a rusty propane stove and the running water for the space was a spout and hose. The “patio” was a clear tarp zip strapped and taped to the frame. The only redeeming quality was the lake but it’s quickly squashed by close by neighbours and the lack of respite the poorly built lodging offers Not worth the price when there are gorgeous cabins on the island for rent for a small extra price. Don’t waste your time! Not much more impressive than a campsite at quadruple the price.

I've been coming here for years because it's just such an amazing place! Mark does a wonderful job of maintaining the property and it's always my go to place on Salt spring Island. The fishing is spectacular on the lake and it's a 5 minute drive to the ocean. Regardless if your looking for a Cabana, cabin or campsite this is the place to go.
