Lodge

Access to the lodge is by snowcat only, although it is only a 30-minute ride from our Farmhouse base in Meadow Creek. Your accommodations occupy a beautiful, remote setting overlooking Kootenay Lake and the Purcell Mountains. The lodge is warm and the atmosphere is casual. We have an outdoor, timber frame covered hot tub and wood fired sauna. Enjoy your favorite beverage around the bar or near the fireplace.

lodge and snowcats

Our lodge games include pool, ping-pong, crokinole and the ever-competitive game of Crud.  Feel free to ‘Cut the Rug’ on our dance floor (although we have wood floors, you are welcome to try!)  For those wanting some quiet time, we also have a very comfortable reading room overlooking Kootenay Lake and the Purcell Mountains. Our dry room and boot dryer ensure you have warm and dry clothing for the following day. A TV is available to show your photos and ski videos.  Breakfast and dinner are served in our large dining room with the best view in the Kootenays.

There’s yoga and stretching in the morning, as well as massage appointments available upon request. Smoking is not permitted inside the lodge or snowcats.
