    Nothing.

    What an incredible hidden gem. We loved the location and the beautiful views of the mountains and the mighty Bulkley river flowing beside our Lodge. Words can't describe the beauty of the location and the incredible Lodge we stayed in. The covered outdoor kitchen was complete with a smoker, BBQ, refrigerator, and a pizza oven. Having happy hour in this amazing setting was truly an amazing experience. The Lodge was beautiful with the thoughtful decor and indigenous theme carried throughout this stunning home. The sauna was a bonus. This rental went above and beyond what I expected. April and her husband were charming and helpful and make this world a better place. I loved the Lodge at LDR. We also had a chance to look at the Dutch Treat cabin, and again, I was totally impressed with the care and love that went into the cabin. If you need to recharge and relax, this is the place. Viewing wildlife from the comfort of the living room was an added joy. I will be back with fishing pole in hand and staying longer.

    What a beautiful spot in the middle of nature. You have plenty of space (!!!) around your lodge. Perfect hosts. Very fair value for money.

    maybe just a drop of oil so the washroom door doesn't squeak

    I'd live here if I could! The rustic feel of a log cabin, but tastefully and professionally finished and with all the amenities you need. Who would sleep in a hotel if this is available? A cabin and a location like this certainly add to the Canadian / Northern BC experience

    When you arrive in the middle of the night, it is difficult to locate and looks like you are going to the middle of the woods to get stuck. Just keep going and you won’t be disappointed. GPS didn’t take us all the way in.

    The property is beautiful! The owner accommodated us last Minute with an upgrade.

    The outhouse needs to be treated with lime. The smell is intense and lingers on your clothing.

    My sister and I stayed in cabin one. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. The cabins and furniture are all wood and Hand built. The setting is in nature above a river and everything has been trimmed to look like a park. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. there is a small kitchen with a midsize refrigerator a stove and other amenities. There is a beautiful little living room for reading playing games or hanging out. The bedroom has a shower and a sink and the beds are very comfortable. You can walk to a river.

    We can hear the highway, the train and property equpment . A bit of noise pollution when sitting on balcony.

    The cabin is spatious, well equipped and nicely decorated (amazing paintings). The view is breathtaking. It is very clean and comfortable.

    There were several little shampoos, conditioners and toothpaste in the bathroom, but no shower gel. Which is of course the only thing I did not bring.

    The property is in a very nice location, close to the river, but sitting outside, you can still hear the traffic noise. The house is big, definitely bigger than what we needed for 2 people, but very comfortable and we really appreciated that we were able to request a meal, in advance, after a long day of driving.

    I booked a cabin here as a last minute booking while road tripping and realizing that I was done driving for the day and needed somewhere to lay my head for the night. The distance from town was a little daunting, but I wanted something quiet and comfortable. I am so glad I went ahead and booked, because the scenic, dirt road drive here was absolutely stunning, with even a bear to pop out of the woods and greet me at the last km mark! The owner was ready and waiting to show me to my cabin upon arrival and I couldn't have been more pleased. She had built up a tidy fire in the woodstove and it was a warm welcome after a long day driving. I had my own private cabin on a beautiful piece of land with plenty of green, treed space around it. The cabin itself was clean, immaculate and lovely, with all sorts of artistic touches to make it feel like home. It had a full, well stocked kitchen for cooking, a super comfy bed, and a cute little dining nook. I honestly wish I'd had a few days to spend here to soak up the beautiful surroundings and the absolute quiet. Yes, it's a long way from town (bring groceries with you!) and yes it has an outbuilding/outhouse for a toilet, but it was worth the drive, and the outhouse was the cleanest, nicest one I've ever seen! I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet getaway in nature and I already have to a few friends!

    Second time at LDR. Stayed in the Dutch Treat, smaller than the big lodge that we stayed in last time, but just as spectacular. Love this place! The property, lodges, owners, they're all fantastic! Very comfy beds and bedding, great shower. And they're building a beautiful sauna for the cabin.
