Why a Cabin, Not a Hotel

More room, more freedom, more mountain

Space to Spread Out

Whole-cabin comfort, not a cramped hotel room

Multiple bedrooms, living areas and decks mean the group can gather or find a quiet corner. Sleep up to 14 without splitting across hotel floors.

Your Own Kitchen

Full kitchens for long, easy evenings

Cook a big breakfast before the trail and grill on the deck after. Full kitchens, pantries and BBQs save money and keep everyone happy on their own schedule.

Soak It In

Private hot tubs under the stars

Ease tired legs after a day of biking or hiking in a private hot tub. No sharing, no lineups, just long alpine evenings and big valley skies.

Book Direct

Straight with the owners

Reserve directly with the hosts who know these cabins and this valley. Honest advice on trails and timing, and a smooth check-in every time.

The Bulkley Valley

Wildflowers, waterfalls and glacial-blue lakes

Base yourself between Hudson Bay Mountain and the valley floor, with singletrack, alpine hikes and paddling all within easy reach. Long summer days, endless daylight, and room to breathe.

Summer Adventures

Trailheads, lakes and lookouts from your doorstep

Mountain Biking

Flow trails & alpine singletrack

Ride the Bluff, Piper and Ptarmigan trail networks through a season that runs roughly May to November. Cross-country, flow and technical descents for every level.

Hiking

Wildflowers & waterfalls

Lace up for Crater Lake, Silver King Basin and Twin Falls, from gentle valley strolls to full alpine days, wildflower meadows and thundering waterfalls included.

Lakes & Paddling

Glacial-blue water minutes away

Cool off in glacial lakes and calm valley waters. Bring the paddleboards and kayaks for an easy morning on the water before the afternoon heat.

Wildlife

Big skies, wild neighbours

The Bulkley Valley is prime country for spotting moose, bears, eagles and more. Keep the binoculars handy; the best sightings are often right from the deck.

The hot tub was amazing after a day on the slopes. Being able to ski in and ski out was perfect!

Summer booking questions, answered

What are the roads and access like in summer?

Summer access is easy. Mountain roads are clear and driveable in a standard vehicle. The cabins sit on Hudson Bay Mountain with straightforward road access to trailheads, lakes and town.

How far is town?

You're roughly 20 minutes from downtown Smithers for groceries, cafΓ©s and restaurants, with trailheads and lakes even closer. Smithers Regional Airport (YYD) is about 25-30 minutes away.

Are the cabins good for families?

Very. Bonnie Doon and Sunrise Chalet each sleep up to 14 and suit two to three families, with kitchens, decks and space for kids. Double Black Retreat sleeps 6 for smaller groups.

Are pets allowed?

Pet policies vary by cabin. If you'd like to bring a dog, please reach out before booking so we can confirm what works for your stay.

How does check-in work?

Check-in is simple and self-guided. Every cabin uses a smart door code, so there's no waiting on a front desk. You'll get everything you need before you arrive.

Is there parking?

Yes. Each cabin includes free on-site parking with room for the vehicles, bikes and gear that a bigger group brings along.

Long days, big views. Book your summer escape.
