Nestled just outside Hudson’s Hope, The Lodge at Williston Lake Resort blends the warmth of traditional alpine hospitality with the wild beauty of northern British Columbia. Inspired by the owners’ Swiss heritage, the resort was built to bring the cozy charm of a classic mountain chalet to the shores of Williston Lake — a place where craftsmanship, comfort, and nature come together.

Since opening in 2004, the lodge has welcomed travelers, families, outdoor enthusiasts, and work crews from across Canada and beyond. Hand-built from massive pine logs, the lodge is both a feat of engineering and a work of art. Inside, guests can unwind by the stone fireplace in the great room or enjoy a drink at the hand-crafted bar, all while taking in the warmth and character of the space.

One of the highlights of the resort is its intimate restaurant, which has become a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The kitchen offers a fusion of European and Canadian-inspired dishes, showcasing fresh flavours, hearty comfort foods, and beautifully plated meals worthy of a special night out. Whether you’re joining them for a cozy dinner, celebrating a milestone, or simply craving a well-prepared meal in a relaxing setting, the restaurant provides a dining experience that pairs perfectly with the beauty of the surrounding lake and mountains.

From lakeside hotel rooms to a rustic campground, from private events to personalized celebrations, the resort offers something for every kind of visitor. With access to fishing, hiking, boating, wildlife viewing, and endless northern landscapes, it’s a destination where people can slow down, recharge, and feel at home.

The Lodge also plays an active role in the community throughout the year. During the holiday season, they host festive Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, including special dinners, a holiday market-style bar with mulled wine, cozy fires, and seasonal treats inspired by traditional European Christmas markets.

Every day, guests can enjoy daily special meals, and weekly themed evenings with unique menus will soon be introduced.

In the summer, The Lodge can also connect visitors with local fishing trips, as well as cultural and sightseeing tours around Hudson’s Hope. These experiences are just some of the ways they continue to contribute to local life and create new traditions for residents and visitors alike.

Warm hospitality, stunning views, thoughtful service, and memorable meals — that’s what makes The Lodge at Williston Lake Resort a true gem on the lake.

Meet the Manager: Alix

Originally from France, Alix Boucher brings a lifelong passion for hospitality and people to Williston Lake Resort. Having worked in restaurants and bars since the age of 16, Alix was drawn to lodge life by a desire to work closer to nature and be part of a small, authentic community.

Since joining the lodge in June 2024, Alix has embraced everything the region has to offer—from the surrounding mountains to the beauty of Williston Lake and the diverse outdoor activities that define life in Hudson’s Hope. The hand-built pioneer log lodge and its peaceful setting made Williston Lake Resort feel like a natural fit.

As Lodge Manager and Chef, Alix focuses on creating a welcoming, family-style atmosphere where guests feel at home and connected to the area. While founders Harry and Barbara remain the proud owners of Williston Lake Resort, Alix now manages the lodge full-time in their absence, continuing the spirit of hospitality and strong community ties they established in Hudson’s Hope.
