Mr. Shami and all the staff were very friendly and provided great hospitality. There were great tips for excursions, the accommodation was clean and functionally furnished. The breakfast was very good and plentiful, and the dinner in the restaurant was also very good and tasty. We'd love to come back!

cozy and rustic accommodation with friendly staff

A very homely rural retreat. Great views from the cabins, excellent food, friendly staff. Felt very at home. The Location is a stones throw from many of the attractions of Wells Gray Provincial Park which is well worth a visit - a beautiful area.

A very homely rural retreat

Shamim is an incredible host and a testament that there are good people out there. He went out of his way to ensure my friend and I had a safe and great trip. He gave us a detailed itinerary and explanation for the sites in Wells Grey Park. 

We had dinner at the restaurant. The food is homemade and excellent quality. Sophie, our server, was great too.

If you’re camping, this place has amenities like power and showers. There’s a large covered picnic area so groups can get out of the rain if the weather is bad. 

The location is excellent, just outside the main gate. You can easily access many sites from the lodge.

Great stay with wonderful host near Wells Grey Park

I echo comments in previous review.   We stayed for 2 nights en route to Jasper - had it not been that we’d already had a long drive and were in the middle of nowhere, we would not have remained.  A stopover in Clearwater itself and a drive from there to the falls would be a better option. 
Our  lodge was dingy, dated and musty, and overrun with mosquitoes. 
Dinner and breakfast were very poor, and NOT worth the money.

Stopover nightmare…

Overnight stop en route from whistler to Jasper - arrived fairly late so had no option but to stay as it's miles from anywhere - otherwise would have just turned around and found somewhere else - no wifi - alarm clock went off twice in middle of night - not hot water for shower next morning - nobody in reception when checking out - overall a dreadful experience in a dilapidated place that looks like an abandoned prison camp - terrible

Worst place I've ever stayed

We stopped here for one night on our way from
Banff to Vancouver. The owner was lovely he was super friendly and even recommended another restaurant for dinner (which was the single best smokehouse we’ve ever eaten at). The rooms were spacious, clean & comfortable. The wifi was at best weak and mostly non existent but we were happy to be a bit off the grid to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. All in all a lovely stay

Lovely stay, friendly staff

Lodge is as described, out of Clearwater, close to the falls. Our room did have a fridge which was handy and we had a limited WiFi service, enough to check WhatsApps and email. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant, allowed us to adapt their menu slightly. It was our anniversary and staff made this night special for us

Great nights stay

We stayed here for three nights on our Canadian tour, after asking our travel agent where to go to see some bears. It is situated in Wells Gray  Park and about 35km from the nearest town, and is extremely peaceful and like others we had three nights excellent sleep here, in a bed that had cosy patchwork covers on it. The room had heating which we used as it was September for late evenings. It was in a log cabin which was split into four rooms, and we had a small deck with a bench where we ate on quite a lot enjoying the views and the wildlife. 
What lets this place down is the lack of a place to eat something nice. They could make a small fortune if they improved the offering as there isnt anywhere else to go. Breakfast was laid out, but all the food was dry and the staff unhelpful even asking to get basics like tea bags and hot water. Dinner was pretty poor too so we ended up driving to clearwater on the other other days to get supplies. There are a small number of RV pitches at the site too, but they were very quiet and pleasant. 
There are lots of trails in the park so you can easily occupy yourself for three days, and we did get to see bears in the distance.
Overall a traditional log cabin experience but bring your own food; our room had a fridge.

Peaceful Location

Lovely place was worried due to the reviews as had to move hotels due to the fires last minute.  It was lovely, yes rustic but if you love nature it’s great.  Good for water falls and walks as right in the middle of Wells Grey National park. The staff were friendly and so helpful we arrived really late 9.30’ish pm and the restaurant had stopped serving but still cooked for us.  The breakfast is basic continental but enough for all cereals, juice, toast and pastries just help yourself.  There is a fridge and coffee machine in the room which was clean and tidy.

Overnight stop

Beautiful setting. It was a shame that the mosquitoes didn't allow us to sit out to make the best of it, but that's nature for you.  We were only here for one night.  It was lovely to be off the beaten track.  The evening meal and breakfast were excellent.  Staff were excellent.  Would definitely recommend.
