Alpine Meadows Resort, Kamloops Country

rooms

The resort’s 29 contemporary, architecturally designed log cabins and suites combine luxury with all the comforts of home including satellite TVs (but please note not all feature air conditioning). Nestled amongst nature, yet a short walking distance from the facilities, you can enjoy your Canadian holiday in traditional style and comfort.

The one or two bedroom log suites are a good starting option, with small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The one bedroom Alpine chalets overlook the Hallmore Lake and offer modern décor, fully equipped kitchens, a queen size bed and sofa bed in the sitting room and importantly a generous lakeside deck to enjoy the views! The Two bedroom Family Log Homes are on one level and can accommodate up to six guests. These offer a modern, fully equipped kitchen, two ensuite bathrooms, queen size beds, a living room with pull out sofa and private deck. However, our tip would be to upgrade to the Executive Log Homes if you are trravelling with friends or family.  These sleep up to six and feature a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, private deck and fully equipped kitchen.

facilities & activities

The resort is perfectly placed for all manner of authentic outdoor British Columbia adventures. Just some of the options include hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, bear and bird watching, swimming, river rafting, canoeing and kayaking plus fishing and cruising on the lake. If you are keen to get on the water, the resort offers boat, canoe and kayak rental. Fishing equipment and licenses are also available.

The resort's own Activity Centre, a beautiful wood-beamed structure, offers indoor games, a table tennis table and seating areas for relaxing. Surrounding the main building are substantial greens for informal games like soccer and baseball or family picnics.

The generously sized Lakeview Jacuzzi is the perfect place to unwind with friends and family after an exhilarating day of outdoor adventure and is fenced and gated for safety.

Handy coin-operated laundry facilities and free wifi are also on offer.

dining

The Boathouse Restaurant and Lakeside Patio offers fresh West Coast inspired dining options created daily by the chef using fresh, local ingredients. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast overlooking the lake, spotting the hummingbirds, or a cosy dinner (we advise booking in advance for your arrival evening).

Wood-fired BBQ's are also available by the Activity Centre, allowing you to enjoy your own creations in an informal setting if that suits better one evening perhaps. Supermarkets are available in Clearwater, half an hour away, so ideally grab something en-route if this appeals!

family

The children’s playground and mega-sized outdoor chess game provide plenty of opportunities for fun although running and jumping off the pontoon in to the lake will probably prove to be your children’s favourite activity! 

A children’s menu is served in the restaurant and the cosy log cabins of varying sizes provide spacious ‘homes from home’ for families with the option to self cater for some of your meals. 

If travelling with more than one or two children, our tip is to upgrade to the three bedroom Executive Log Homes, they feel quirky and authentic, and will have you feeling you really are on a Canadian adventure!
