We offer our guests a choice of several fully equipped log cabins each with covered porches and lake views. The RV and campsites are scattered throughout the property and are either lakeside or in a woodsy setting. Our marina includes boat launching moorage, boat rentals, gas and fishing licenses. For added enjoyment, relax on our private beach, ease tension in the sauna or enjoy a campfire.

The Roving Office... The roving office

Often when you phone the Lakewood you’ll hear birds and dogs in the background. This is because my office is usually outside and many of our reservations and inquiries are dealt with while I’m in a garden, probably the best office in the world. You can reach us at (250) 353-2395 phone, snail mail Box 459 Kaslo B.C. Canada V0G1M0 or email Here

Our cabins start at $90 per night and camping starts at $20 per night  - based on two people (plus taxes). Off season and weekly rates are available. Enjoy all the faces of the Lakewood! Spring, arrives with new beginnings as the plants awaken and the hummingbirds return. Summer displays a riot of color - bright yellows, reds and pinks with the scent of wild roses in the air providing sheer splendor. Fall offers warm days, crisp nights and brightly colored leaves. Winter arrives in all its glory with sparkling snowcapped peaks, so quiet you can hear the snowflakes fall. There is so much to do and see and the fish are always biting. Spoil yourself!

Pet Policy...

Pets are welcome at the Lakewood Inn. All we ask is that  they are kept on a leash and that you cleanup after them. We charge a nominal fee of $5 per pet per night for cabins and trailers, and $2.50 per pet per night for camping. If your pet likes dozing on couches, please bring your own cover.

Fishing Licenses...

You can get your licenses on line at www.fishing.gov.bc.ca or in Kaslo at Barron's Fly and Tackle (great folks there also).
