Just stayed here for a week with a large extended family. I cannot comment on the lodge as a B&B because we had the whole place and made all our own meals. The lodge itself looks like it needs some extensive maintenance. Leaky faucets, running toilets, loose fixtures, burned out lights and a very worn floor in the main room all made it feel ... rustic. The house needed a really good clean too. Oddly, the kitchen also lacked some basics such as a can opener, mixing bowls, and baking trays.
Negatives aside, it was really a great place. The large main room easily housed all 25+ people present. The fireplace was gorgeous. The property is simple and large (about 5 acres) and backs onto a river with good fishing. The current was a bit too fast for the kids to swim in the river, but Sproat lake was only about 15 inutes away. The rooms themselves ranged in size from very large, to average sized. Most had an ensuite bathroom. There were also 3 'public' toilets in the common areas. The layout of the house is basically 2 wings off the central great room. The larger wing had 4 rooms upstairs and 4 downstairs. The lower rooms had large doors opening onto decks with comfy couches and chairs. The smaller wing had one very large room downstairs with a foozeball table and full sectional couch and TV. Upstairs was 2 more large rooms and private living quarters. The upstairs rooms in this wing share a common bathroom. A small den joining the second wing to the main room completes the house. The rooms varied from having one king or queensize bed to having a double and twin, twin bunks plus a single twin, and twin over double bunk plus a twin. There were also cots available for set up in some rooms. I think the upstairs ensuites had a shower stall and the downstairs had a tub.
Bottom line, this is a great space for a large gathering. I can imagine it being a nice space for a wedding too.
