We had a wonderful stay at Riverside Resort in Qualicum Beach. It is very family-friendly, and our detached one-bedroom cottage was comfortable and private. We especially enjoyed the firepit, barbecue, and outdoor dining area. The mini golf was a lot of fun, and the outdoor pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids. It’s a great place for a relaxing family getaway!

My sister and I rented cabins for my father’s 75th birthday and it was a great place to do it! We used to come to Riverside as kids and it was awesome to bring our families back to the place we all had such fond memories of. Nostalgia overload! The water slides were fantastic as well as mini golf! So much to do, wonderful backyards and a common charcoal bbq area was a great addition. Pet friendly and everything was well kept. All the staff was fantastic…but Dennis was the GOAT! We’ll definitely stay again! Can’t wait for next time! Thanks Riverside!

We went for a spur of the moment weekend trip. Price was worth what we paid. Clean unit as well as the property. One of the beds wasn’t good for us but my daughters was good! Pet friendly, convenient location to the water. On site store, ice cream and pizza. We didn’t have time to use the pool because we went exploring. I would stay here again!
