Ruby Lake Resort, a family-run establishment on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, offers an array of luxury glamping accommodations and tiny wood cabins. Located on one of Canada’s warmest lakes and surrounded by the scenic Caren mountain range, the resort provides a destination for nature enthusiasts seeking outdoor experiences.
The resort features various options, including lagoon-view cottages, unique safari tents, and cozy wood cabins, catering to guests looking for both relaxation and adventure.
Ruby Lake Resort also invites visitors to enjoy a variety of activities, from hiking and water sports to yoga and stargazing. Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty surrounding the resort, which includes opportunities to observe local wildlife and explore nearby gardens filled with organic produce.
The glamping experience at Ruby Lake is designed for those who wish to connect with nature without sacrificing comfort. The resort’s upper area hosts glamping tents nestled in the Caren Range. Guests can stroll along trails leading to the lake, where they can swim or relax in the inviting waters of Ruby Lake. The property features landscaped gardens and an outdoor amphitheater, enhancing the overall guest experience.
Among the accommodations is the Rainforest Deluxe Tent, characterized by its romantic and secluded setting. This tent offers a king-sized bed, an electric fireplace, and a private lagoon-view balcony. Guests also benefit from outdoor amenities, including a yoga platform and private facilities, ensuring a serene getaway. Access to the tent requires navigating a steep trail.
The Lagoon and Forest View Glamping Tents also provide a more intimate experience, ideal for couples. Each tent is equipped with a queen bed, and electric fireplace.
For travelers with pets, the Trail View Glamping Tents are available as the resort’s most economical option. These pet-friendly tents maintain the same luxurious touches as their counterparts, including a queen bed and electric fireplace. They are particularly suited for groups or families looking to explore the outdoors together.
In addition to glamping tents, Ruby Lake Resort features five uniquely designed tiny wood cabins that enhance the rustic charm of the property. Located near the outdoor amphitheater, these cabins provide guests with views of gardens and the natural landscape. Each cabin offers a cozy atmosphere, encouraging relaxation and connection with nature, while communal fire pits create opportunities for social gatherings.
The Family Wood Cabin is the largest of the tiny cabins, constructed entirely from salvaged wood. It accommodates up to three guests with a queen bed and a twin bed, making it suitable for families or small groups. With its electric fireplace and balcony views of the forest and mountains, the cabin offers a retreat for those seeking a homey atmosphere in nature.
The Queen Wood Cabin, set on a mossy knoll, also offers similar rustic elegance. Featuring an electric fireplace and a private balcony, this cabin hosts two adults and a child. The lofted sleeping area is accessible via a wooden ladder, adding a touch of adventure to the stay. However, this cabin is not pet-friendly, ensuring a serene environment for families traveling without pets.
Ruby Lake Resort operates seasonally, welcoming guests from May through September. Reservations are recommended to secure accommodations during peak summer months, as demand often exceeds availability.
