Twenty minutes north of Powell River on Okeover Inlet near Lund is Desolation Sound Resort, which offers luxury and a wilderness experience rolled into one. Accommodations are in extremely attractive chalets perched on high pilings above a steeply sloping shoreline. These log structures built by local craftspeople come in various configurations and sleep up to eight. Spaces are fully modern and beautifully maintained, with cedar interiors, full kitchens, hardwood floors, and tasteful decor -- some units have private hot tubs; all have decks (with gas grills) overlooking the water. Chartered boating, kayaking, or diving trips can be arranged; guests are free to use resort canoes and kayaks.
