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.

I really enjoyed my stay at Eagle Bear Lodge, The vibe and the landscapes are amazing and I saw my first northern lights in Canada there 😍 A lot of activities around: canoeing and fishing on Eagle Lake, hiking to Perkins Peak or Crazy Creek, going to Tatlayoko. I have seen so many bears in the area, and found some lynx and moose tracks. Jenny and David are wonderful people and very welcoming, don't forget to ask them about the legend of ?Eniyud I will definitely come back

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 dogs Trooper and Daisy) were gracious, wonderful hosts and amazing conversationalists. Loved the stories and antidotes of lodge life. Did lots of extras like starting the fires in the cabins when it cooled off. We had interesting and engaging guests at dinner that made the stay enjoyable. Always love to hear about other countries and travels. Location and views were amazing! Food was not amazeballs but good straightforward fare. Main lodge is under renovation, it looks like it will be amazing when completed. Did make it a bit tricky to get about in the process. The room we were disappointed in. The original room we booked was not available and we were ‘upgraded’ to the Deer Room. It was a very quaint 1950’s cabin with wonderful views. I think it it has potential but fell short of what we would consider good value for the price paid. Access was tricky steps. Beds were comfortable and well appointed. But there was a general lack of cleanliness over all. We understand that you can’t be critter free in this area but it seems a final check of the room may have been overlooked. Items in fridge, stale water in kettle and overall dusty and unswept. The heat also didn’t extend to the bathroom which made for chilly bathroom trips, obviously not an issue in summer.

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.

We were disappointed with this stay. Given the price (a lot more than comparable properties in the W Chilcotin plateau) we were expecting something better. The cabin we had booked was not available and we were given Moose cabin - the same price. This had the bed up stairs with difficult access at the top. The cabin was rather dusty. The cups were not clean. The towels and toiletries were a shambolic muddle. No bathrobes (not a problem) The bathroom was bodge do it yourself design - lots of hawk-white and a plastic bag over the electrics. The good : Jennifer was a good hostess and the meals were good. Breakfast was good too. Delicious home made cinnamon buns one day. We had some really nice dinner companions who were staying at the same time which helped our feeling about the stay. The lake and surroundings are beautiful.
