Also on the deck there is a very large BBQ, so your dinner can be cooking whilst you soak!  Additionally there's a full size oven in the fully equipped kitchen.

However, if you just fancy a night off from cooking, or have a particular celebration, don't forget we can come in and provide a fantastic 3 course meal, finished with home made chocolates for that extra special evening, at great prices.  We cook, serve and clear up afterwards, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the 'restaurant at home' experience!

 About Us

After many holidays around the world in lodges, we know what we do and don't want in a vacation rental property.

We have therefore built and equipped Hillside Lodge to the comfort and standard that we would like to rent, whilst at the same time still keeping in mind that many holidays are booked on a budget. 

When we were awarded a 4* Rating by Canada Select and BC Tourism Approved Accommodation, we knew we had got it right!
