Lake Trail Guesthouse, Courtenay, Vancouver Island BC

The Lake Trail Guesthouse is in the woods and on the hiking and cycling trails, off the beaten path and away from the city. Walk out the door and you are surrounded by forest, lake, river, stunning waterfalls and mountain views--a great wilderness experience! The Lake Trail Guesthouse offers comfortable accommodation, where you can relax and regain energy after a busy day of activities. You can hike, cycle, swim, play in the potholes and waterfalls in the summer or ski Mt. Washington in the winter. Then you can recharge by a blazing campfire or lounge in a deck chair.
