Eagle Bear Lodge

The Hosts are really thoughtful. I appreciate that they are able to identify local wildlife and they are able to provide information on the history of indigenous nations in the area. The cabins were cozy, the food was great, and the wine was flowing.

We spent two nights and had a wonderful time with our very kind hosts Dave and Jennifer. The lodge has beautiful views of Eagle Lake, distant mountains, and, being there in September, lots of fall colours. Our cabin was very comfortable with lots of space, a wood stove and a kitchenette. They are developing a beautiful new bistro and great room in the lodge which has stunning views of the lake. When we ran into trouble with a flat tire shortly after we had left, they were very helpful in making calls to get our tire repaired. A great stay!

Jennifer and Dave (along with Trooper and Daisy the dogs 😊) were gracious and wonderful hosts and conversationists. Loved the stories and antidotes of Lodge life. Did extras like making sure fires were started in the cabins. We had some interesting other guests staying there which made for great meal time. Always love to hear about other countries and travels. Views and location was beautiful. Food was not amazeballs but good straightforward fare. Main Lodge is under renovation. It looks like it will be amazing when it’s done but made for some hazardous getting about in the meantime. The room, however, we were quite disappointed. Our original room booked was not available so we were “upgraded” to the Deer. It was a very quaint, 1950’s cabin with wonderful views and has amazing potential but fell short of what we would consider good value for the price paid. The beds were comfortable but there was a def lack of cleanliness overall. We understand that in this area you can never be critter free but seems the final room check was overlooked. Chewed paper products and mouse droppings in tissue boxes, countertops, tables and bathroom. Again can’t eliminate this but seems it was being left a bit too much to the mice, as they also kept us company at night in bed. Access to the cabin was a bit difficult. Floors did not seem to be swept and overall very dusty. Items still in fridge, water left in kettle and dishes not clean. Only heat was wood stove which was fine but did not extend to the bathroom, which made for chilly toilet and shower trips. Not an issue in the hot summer of course but we were well into fall. Overall the sparkle and passion of Jennifer and David was not reflected in the accommodations and that was unfortunate.
