Your arrival to the lodge begins with an unforgettable scenic bush-plane flight, which lands on Blachford Lake by skis in the winter months. The main lodge features six cosy rooms with rustic décor and expansive lake views, while the nearby log cabins also offer lake views and wood-burning stoves for an authentic northern experience. Locally inspired, gourmet cuisine is served using freshly caught fish, game, seasonal vegetables, and produce from the lodge’s own organic garden. After meals in the welcoming dining room, guests can relax by the fireplace or in the sauna, browse the library, or watch the aurora borealis dance overhead in the outdoor hot tut.

The days are yours to relax or join an optional guided excursion - we recommend joining one of the lodge’s signature snowmobiling tours to explore the surrounding winter wilderness. Snow shoes, ice-skates and skis are available to use at leisure and you can also enjoy a traditional Canadian game of ice-hockey or curling on the lake. Favourable evening weather conditions permitting, you’ll have the opportunity to marvel at the northern lights. Choose your vantage point from one of the viewing decks, the hot tub or the Aurora viewing windows in the main lodge.
