Drive past Whitecroft and pass the firehall on the left and information hut on the right. Turn left onto Sunburst Drive and your first right leads you into Schleppes Mountain Lodge. This is the last left turn before the village, so if you see the Burfield or Daylodge - you've gone too far!! Super easy to get to!!

Local Tips
About Us
Schleppes Mountain Lodge was built in 1998 by four friends who had a love of skiing and a drive to start their entrepreneurial careers. After a lot of labour, a lot of learning and a lot of life, Schleppes has become the focal point in keeping the boys and their new families together.
Les and Danya Leduc have 2 small children and together with Les' parents, Gene and Sylvia Leduc, manage the business. Les and Danya manage the bookings while Sylvia manages the day-to-day cleaning and maintenance of the lodge.
Kelly and Wendy Moss live in Vancouver and also have 2 small children. They come up to Sun Peaks for holidays and Kelly spends some of his summer working with Sylvia on the bigger projects that keep the chalet sparkling!
Dominic Dimaulo lives in Kamloops and works out of town. Dom brings his 2 boys up to the lodge on weekends off and is in charge of the corporate side of the business.
While Travis Abbey is no longer a business partner in Schleppes, he lives up at Sun Peaks with his wife Monica and daughter Zoe giving us all an excuse to head up to Sun Peaks as often as we can!!
We truly hope that you enjoy Schleppes as much as we do. We strive to make the lodge comfortable and provide you with everything you need for a memorable holiday. Thank you to all of our repeat guests and to our new ones...we can't wait to meet you!
Reviews
winter wonderland
cidnee from White Rock, Canada
Date: Jan-02-2015 for a stay in Dec 2014
We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge. From the minute we booked we were impressed with Les and Danya's attention to detail. Their personal touch was much appreciated. Our large family group..14 of us were very comfortable. We loved the Christmas tree and decoration, it made it very homey for us over the holidays. There is ample parking and the location is a very convenient walk to the village. With the main floor being very open it was perfect for such a large group, we could even all fit around the dining table! Thanks again, we would recommend this property and would love to come back!
