Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is the perfect place for family reunions & corporate retreats. It is small and intimate enough that the whole facility can be rented by one group, yet big enough to insure a comfortable space for all (maximum 25 people). Just a 70 minute flight from Vancouver, we are the perfect remote, yet easy to get to, location for your getaway.
Our region offers an incredible diversity of birdlife that will make us a must visit location for birders.
Tweedsmuir Park Lodge has the advantage of being located at the junction of 2 “eco-zones” enabling birders to view species from both these zones. A visit to us will enable you to see birds that normally you'd have to visit multiple locations!
Experience world-class fishing and heli-skiing all on the same day! Heli-ski perfect velvety smooth spring corn snow in the morning, then switch gear and fish for spring salmon in the afternoon!
"My Favorite"
I have stayed at many lodges in British Columbia and Tweedsmuir is the best all around lodge. The accommodations are so comfy, and we loved the bathrooms and the fireplaces in the room. Also the property is incredible, with bears grazing on grass, a perfect wildlife watching platform, and a beautiful hot tub and steam room. The food is also world class, this place should be on everyone's Bucket List.

“Amazing magical stay”
This is an amazing place to stay not just because the food, accommodation and location are all first rate but because the whole team of staff go to every effort to make this stay special. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone. The service and food far exceeded our expectations. The guides on our river drifts were not only knowledgeable but friendly and enjoyable company and the valley itself made every moment on the river special. In addition big thanks to Ellie who took us on our hikes for helping to show us even more of the beauty in the surrounding countryside. We learnt so much about the wildlife, the trees, and the First Nations people. We have memories that will last a lifetime and of course the special encounters with the bears above all. We saw so many every day - including the two occasions when they came to graze in the meadow near the lodges! This really was a holiday to remember - wish we could go back next year!

"Tweedsmuir centre of The Great Bear Rainforest"
From the moment we arrived the warmth from the lodge, staff, guides, and ambience flooded over us. Food was excellent. And nothing was too much trouble, coffee, tea was hot and always available with cookies and snacks. Other travellers were happy and excited to share their adventures, we saw bears, eagles, birds in abundance. And the landscapes were magical, guides are knowledgeable and courteous. A great wild space.
