The Peace Country of Northern BC shares a special place in the hearts of many. This country boasts nature's delights: plentiful fields, snow capped mountains, rolling hills, lush forests and sparkling lakes—it is no wonder that this often chilly region is warmly regarded as an excellent travel destination. Hidden in the Peace Country are many unbeatable resorts. One of these resorts is the Williston Lake Resort. Whether you are looking for adventure, quality family time or relaxation, the Williston Lake Resort is the place to vacation.
Situated outside of Hudson’s Hope, the Williston Lake Resort is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains on the shore of the breathtaking Williston Lake. The Williston Lodge was built in the traditional log cabin style, with each of its logs hewn by hand for a beautifully seamless fit. The lodge is a beautiful work of art that everyone can enjoy and appreciate.
My name is Erin, and recently my co-workers and I got the chance to visit the Williston Lake lodge. As soon as I walked in the door, I loved it! It’s incredibly beautiful and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and we definitely enjoyed our stay! One of my favorite things about the lodge was the sun-drenched balcony that is perfect for relaxing on. It felt like we were on a private island somewhere scenic. The view from the lodge overlooks the lake and it is wonderful.
The location of the Williston Lake Resort is terrific for enjoying activities of both the mountains and the lake. Williston Lake is the largest reservoir in Canada, making the lodge an outstanding stay for the fishing enthusiast. Not only can the summer guest enjoy fishing, there is also hiking, horseback riding, ATV tours and guided wilderness watching. Our guide also told us that it is a good destination for winter travel as well, and there’s tons of fresh powder to ride all winter long. During the winter season there is also snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing and wildlife observation. The amount of activities makes for days of family fun, group adventures and individual recreation. Although my group didn’t participate in all the activities, it was a great place to spend an afternoon.
Recreation and relaxation go hand in hand at the Williston Lake Resort, as guests can enjoy the first class food in an intimate environment. Campfires are a common way to wind down after a day at the lodge and are enjoyable for all guests. Not only will the guest enjoy the activities, they will enjoy and appreciate the lodge itself. The Williston Lodge features exquisite décor and charming touches of warmth. Easily becoming the traveler’s home away from home, the Williston Lodge leaves every visitor with the yearning for more. I loved it so much I intend to go back for a second visit and bring my family. The resort is a perfect place to get away and do camping activities while not actually not having to camp.

The Peace Country of Northern BC shares a special place in the hearts of many. After recently moving here myself, I have found that I am growing to love it here as well. My name is Erin, and some co-workers and I decided to do a little exploring around our area. One of the places we went to was the Williston Lake Resort, near Hudson's Hope.
The Peace Country boasts nature's delights: plentiful fields, snow capped mountains, rolling hills, lush forests and sparkling lakes—my co-workers and I were amazed at the scenery.
As soon as we entered the lodge, I loved it right away. The Williston Lodge was built in the traditional log cabin style, with each of its logs hewn by hand for a beautifully seamless fit. The lodge is a work of art.
Not only is it beautiful, but the lodge is an excellent place to vacation and recharge, as it offers many lounging areas, including a large, sun-drenched balcony that is perfect for reclining. I felt like I was on an exotic island somewhere, just soaking up all those UV rays. It was great and wonderfully relaxing.
The Lodge offers a lot of activites that I didn't have time to do, but would have loved to. In the summer, there is fishing, horseback riding, ATV adventures and hiking. Winter guests who enjoying skiing or snowboarding will have the opportunity to ski the local mountains and enjoy the fresh powder. During the winter season there is also snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross-country skiing and wildlife observation.
The Williston Lodge Resort is a gem that sparkles in the Peace and draws travelers from far and near. After spending a short visit to the lodge, I was beckoned back for a second stay.
