Artisanal Craftsmanship, Sympathetic Design

• Front of lodge is solid living stone hand picked from Valemount in Revelstoke. The stones are covered with living Lichen that is over 100 years old
• The construction of the Founder’s lodge took 3 years utilizing a staff of 25 people

• Dining table is Douglas fir
• All benches and picnic tables made from cleared trees on property
• All reclaimed barn boards used for ceilings and floors of main Lodge and Lake Cottage sourced from old cannery in the Great Bear Rain Forest. Circular burn marks in the wide planks are from old joist rings and saw blade markings, add a real rustic feel to the floors and ceilings. Planks were split lengthwise during milling to maximize the amount of markings that would be visible
• All exterior and interior posts and beams sourced from Alberta, all standing dead trees. All transported and crafted in Montana
