I had a wonderful stay at this resort, immersed in a beautifully peaceful environment. The cabin was better than I expected, complete with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and strike a perfect balance between being helpful and allowing for privacy. While everything was fantastic, I did find that the area around the cabin could get a bit muddy with the rain. Overall, great value for a unique getaway experience!

I had a lovely stay at this resort, enjoying the well-equipped cabin and the beautiful location by the lake. The outdoor hot tub was a perfect addition for relaxation, and the friendly couple managing the place really added to the welcoming atmosphere. However, I was disappointed that our cabin didn't have a fireplace, which was something I was really looking forward to, and there was some dust that needed attention. Overall, it's a great little getaway spot that I would recommend.

Cusheon Lake Resort is a perfect retreat tucked away on Salt Spring Island. The cabins are clean, cozy, and surprisingly well-equipped for a rustic setting, making it a great spot for those wanting to unplug. The location is fantastic, offering both seclusion and access to nearby attractions. However, Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty, so plan accordingly if you need to stay connected.
