“Cottage was super cozy and quiet. Not suitable for motorcycles. 1.5km of gravel road to get to office, then slopped extra loose gravel parking”

“Blindly booked the chalet as it was my first time on this side of the cost moose hunting in area 2. Wonderful location with great lodgings. Close to the side roads leading into the transmission lines for hunting. Right next to Portland Creek pond/river which looks to be great for fly fishing. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in this area.”

“My wife and I got married here about 2 weeks ago. The atmosphere here is unbelievable, the staff are extremely friendly and flexible, the location is absolutely stunning. We booked the cabins/lodge for 5 days and 4 nights and were lucky enough to get the pods they offer for a few nights (which are more like luxury camping cabins with an unbelievable view). Cant wait to come back and experience the fishing excursions they offer! Big thank you to Ryan and Danielle, as well as the rest of the team for making our day as stress free and perfect as could be. Love you guys”

“Beautiful cabin, 2 min walk the the lakeside with an amazing view of the mountains. Seen salmon jumping in the river where there is a bench and picnic tables to sit and enjoy the views.”

“We just spent the last 2 nights at this beautiful resort. The cabins were perfect and included everything you need. The resort is located right along a gorgeous Salmon River and a very large pond for all your fishing or swimming needs. There is a new playground on site for the kiddos and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend this resort for anyone looking for the perfect get away.”
