Where this is

The only stretch of road like it in Canada

Highway 20 runs from the Cariboo across the Chilcotin plateau and drops to the sea at Bella Coola. Anahim Lake sits roughly two-thirds of the way along — the natural place to break the drive before The Hill.

The lodge

Rooms, cabins and a table by the water

Seven places to sleep, from lakeside suites to hand-built log cabins with a wood-burning furnace and firewood on the porch. Meals are cooked here and served under the timber trusses, with the lake filling the windows.

Guest reviews

What people say afterwards

We stayed two nights on our way through. Rooms were clean, the food was delicious, and they were very nice. Was able to use their canoe to fish Anahim as well. We really enjoyed our time here.

Jin Du

Wonderful place. We visited while the ownership was transitioning and both were outstandingly hospitable. Rooms were good and food was better. Listening to new owners plans afoot to make it even more exciting.
