For years we struggled to find a place that could match our expectations of a beautiful, private hideaway. Nothing met our expectations, until we discovered Crystal Lake, a picture perfect alpine lake set deep in the mountains of British Columbia. We spent countless hours learning the wind, ways and microclimates of the shoreline, and then picked the most idyllic spot on the lake. In 2004/2005, logs were cut, foot and bicycle paths were created, and the main cabin and tent decks were constructed; all surrounded by an intoxicating beauty. The fruits of our labour are now yours to enjoy with the added bonus of creature comforts and amenities including solar power, hot showers, running water and a complete kitchen.
