Nanaimo's
Lakeside Retreat

You don't have to choose between being close to everything and getting away from it all.

Inn on Long Lake is an independent, locally owned hotel tucked along the shores of Long Lake in Nanaimo. We're just minutes from Departure Bay Ferry Terminal, Highway 19, shopping and restaurants , yet once you're sitting on the dock with your morning coffee, it feels like you've left the city behind.

Our spacious rooms and suites overlook the lake, with private balconies or patios designed for slowing down and taking it all in.

Guests Say It Better Than We
Ever Could.

I love staying at this beautiful inn, which has the feeling of a resort. Coming from a small town staying on a lake filled with wild life is so relaxing. My son loves to fish for the small mouth bass in the lake and my daughter and I take advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks. The staff is so friendly. The beds are so comfortable and everything is clean. 5 star hotel for sure!

Lovely stay. Monique was wonderful. We stayed for one night and wish we had been there longer. My kids loved Kyaking, the whirlpool/hot tub and the sauna. Close to everything. Great robes too!The beds were sooo comfortable. Some of the softest on our trip.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location is superb - close to the restaurants, the highway. All rooms overlook a gorgeous lake. The staff is very polite and eager to help. We also enjoyed the hot tub and sauna that overlook the lake as well.

I stayed here two nights for A not so happy occasion, but had the most wonderful rest with the most beautiful room in the king suite. It could fit 10 of my friends and the beds were hands-down the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in in a hotel.
