Bella Coola, Accommodation

We got up fairly early the morning we left the Bella Coola area, but we did have breakfast at the Eagle Lodge, which is right outside town of Bella Coola. We had a fantastic little breakfast of pancakes and eggs, which was absolutely appreciated after our long day touring the coast!
The Lodge itself was quite beautiful and well kept, complete with a little hot tub, cozy rooms and friendly hosts. We had a wonderful chat with Rose, the owner, who had lots to tell us about all the great things to do in the area; from hikes to sights, we could have easily spent another week there with the new info she gave us! Too bad... guess I'll just have to plan another trip!

Bella Coola, Accommodation

We rolled into Bella Coola a little exhausted from our trip down the 'big hill' and were relieved to settle into Coast Mountain Lodge, just outside of Bella Coola in a town called Hagensborg. It was a beautiful little lodge, with easy access to all the activities in the area and a real modern design inside the log cabin exterior. There was a little cafe bar inside the main office where you could get a nice specialty coffee - this was certainly not expected but was absolutely appreciated.
The lodge was a great homebase for our quick stay in the Bella Coola area and it was only a quick drive to the ocean, to hikes, to restaurants and other activities. Definitely would love to go back and spend some more time and maybe take a wilderness tour offered by the hotel!
