The Lodge
The Main Lodge
There are five large guest rooms on the second floor of the main lodge, with access to shared shower and washrooms. Lodge rooms are dressed with down duvets, and feature huge windows with expansive views. There are two viewing decks upstairs. 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. Unusally for such a remote facility, our washrooms not only have hot running water, but also hotel-syle tollets; you would hardly know they are the eco-friendly composting kind!
There are five log guest cabins to choose from - separated for privacy. Each has its own lake view, outside camp fire pit and outdoor toilet close by. All cabins have electric lighting and power and feature a minimum of four beds with down duvets. Showers and bathrooms are a five minute walk to the lodge. All cabins are heated by woodstove. For those who like the easy life, but with the cosiness of real fire, two of our cabins now have pellet stoves which make no demands on fire-lighting skills!
New for 2018:
We are excited to announce that for opening date of Winter 2018 (December 23, 2017) two of our hand crafted cabins are being outfitted with high-tech en suite, composting toilets, and wash basins.
For the comfort of the more remote cabins, we are building the world’s first “Aurora Comfort Station” - a heated toilet facility and wash basin fitted with a skylight, so you can enjoy the northern lights any time, even while you take a private moment. The Aurora Comfort Station will be in operation for our opening date of Winter 2018 season (December 23, 2017).
As of December 23, 2017; all cabins will have been fitted each with 3 feature windows, excellent for Aurora viewing from inside your cabin, or perfect for watching the long summer evenings.
The lodge and all cabins enjoy free wireless internet access. They are all non-smoking.
Old Trappers Cabin
This is the original Blachford Lake Lodge cabin, and a favorite of many guests. Trapper Henry Cadieux was the original owner and his single room cabin is a perfect example of a traditional Northern home. There is one double bed and four single bunks accommodating five or six persons.
This cabin has access to the Aurora Comfort Station (opening December 23, 2017).
Point Cabin
The Point is a rocky outcrop on Blachford Lake. This cabin, with sleeping loft, boasts a magnificent view and its romantic setting is a favorite of honeymooners and newlyweds. It can comfortably sleep five in three beds and one double bunk.
This cabin has access to the Aurora Comfort Station (opening December 23, 2017).
Raven’s Roost
One of a pair of cabins, the Raven's Roost faces south, with light most of the day. Eagle's and Raven's are the newest of the log cabins, referred to as ‘the duplex’ because they are attached. They are mirror images of one another.
This cabin will have an ensuite toilet facility, opening December 23, 2017.
Eagle’s Nest
The Eagle's Nest is joined to the Raven's Roost, and a mirror image. The Eagle’s Nest faces east. These cabins are just 200 metres from the main lodge. Each one accommodates four in double bunks.
This cabin will have an ensuite toilet facility, opening December 23, 2017.
Beaver Lodge
Beaver Lodge has a loft with two double beds plus a double bunk on the main floor and sleeps four to six guests. It is on the lakefront, handy to the fishing dock – a favourite of summer guests wanting to fish in the early morning. This cabin is the furtherst from the main lodge, and is about three minutes on foot from the main lodge. Beaver Lodge has a very similar layout to that of Point Cabin.
This cabin has access to the Aurora Comfort Station (opening December 23, 2017).
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 wine, and faces the southern sky which fills with the aurora borealis in both winter and autumn.
Dining
Our menus feature a tasty blend of Northern favorites. 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!
