About this bed and breakfast
Once a church, our log lodge is perched on a knoll on the south shore overlooking Johnstone Strait. The beach is just steps away.
Constructed entirely of cedar, the Great Room (once the worship room) of this magnificent building features vaulted 14” cedar ceilings, four conversation nooks and a dining room with ocean and mountain views. Indigenous art hangs on our walls, and books of many variations grace our library. Outside is a wrap around sundeck. The lodge is the perfect place to take in the ocean, inhale the cedar aroma and loose yourself in the serene vibe of this place.
Room 4 is our largest room and features two queen beds, a private, covered deck with views of the garden and ocean. There is a personal vanity in the room as well as a full bathroom with a shower. Room 4 has a mini fridge, hangers and a storage closet for belongings.
Guests have access to the Great Room where they can peruse the library, enjoy the multimedia room, cozy up by the fire and connect with fellow travelers. The only TV resides in the Great Room. Our resident managers provide great local knowledge and will welcome you with a tour of the lodge and an introduction to Alert Bay. They'll also take your order for breakfast the next morning.
The lodge is busiest from mid-June to the end of September when orca and grizzly bear viewing is prime. We utilize a variety of operators for our bear tours and whale watching trips, most of whom pick up near the lodge. Please contact us to make sure we find the right tour for you.
Towards late September things start to wind down. There is an out-migration of sorts: the salmon have moved into the streams, the bears retreat to hibernate and the resident orcas head out into the open ocean. Most visitors to the Island follow this cycle.
Others come to enjoy the winter storms, savour the crisp air tinged with cedar and salt and read by the fire. Others simply find solitude in this small community. The U’Mista Culture Centre is open and our few restaurants and one pub keep varying hours.
Due to its separate entrance, this room is designated as our one dog-friendly room.
