Accommodation & Dining

The Government of the Northwest Territories is currently restricting travel into the NWT. As a result we are operating this winter, however you must have proper permission to enter the NWT. Please see: https://www.gov.nt.ca/covid-19/en/services/travel-moving-around/travellers-arriving-nwt for entry requirements and details. At the moment we are taking new bookings for travel December 21, 2020-April, 2021 for NWT residents only. We are taking bookings from out of territory travellers from September 1st, 2021 onwards. Thank you for your understanding.

Main Lodge

The main lodge is the heart and soul of Blachford Lake Lodge. Located atop a rolling hill, the main floor serves as the lounge, with bar, dining room and library. The main floor also houses the kitchen and a small office, and his and hers showers and washrooms, shared with cabin guests. Unusually for such a remote facility, our washrooms not only have hot running water, but also hotel-syle toilets; you would hardly know they are the eco-friendly composting kind!

Sunrise Rooms

Our largest guest rooms are the Sunrise Rooms (Sunrise 1 & Sunrise 2), and each feature 2x double beds (an additional twin can be added). Sunrise 2 is known as the "Kate & William Room", as it was the room used by Prince William and Kate, the Dutchess during their time at the lodge.

Sunset Rooms

Our beautiful Sunset Rooms (Sunset 1, Sunset 2 & Sunset 3) all feature 1x double bed, 1x twin bed, and 1x twin bed in a loft (perfect for families with kids that want a place of their own!). They feature the most fantastic sunset views you can imagine.

Guest Cabins

There are five log guest cabins detached from the main lodge (approximately 5-9 minute walk) to choose from - separated for privacy. Each has its own lake view, outside bonfire pit and a high-tech en suite composting toilet, and wash basin. All cabins have electric lighting and power and feature a minimum of three beds with down duvets. Showers and bathrooms are a five minute walk to the lodge. All cabins are heated by a cozy wood or pellet stove. The lodge and all cabins enjoy free wireless internet access. They are all non-smoking. When you book into a cabin, you stay only with the group you're travelling with (unless you are a solo willing-to-share traveller).

The Hot Tub

Just outside the south entrance of the main lodge is our hot tub - a guest favourite summer and winter. It's protected from the wind, and faces the southern sky which fills with the aurora borealis in both winter and autumn.

The Sauna

Located on the lake, close to Beaver Lodge cabin, is a hand built cedar wood sauna. The perfect place to relax, before a dip in the lake or quick step into the winter air.

Dining

Head Chef Yves ensures that our menus feature a tasty blend of Northern favourites. Our talented chefs creates superb menus with fresh seasonal vegetables and a variety of fresh fish, beef and chicken to please every appetite. All dishes, from breads to desserts, are made on site. If you have special menu requirements, please let us know in advance. Through the summer, Blachford Lake Lodge grows many of its own vegetables. We have recently expanded our organic greenhouse and garden. Leafy vegetables grow quickly in the long days of northern summer!
