Beaver Lake Resort
September 28, 2007
This place is amazing. Will write up the full report when I get time, as I'm using a satelite internet connection at the moment and it's expensive! Chipmunks!
Here's the updated edit:
This place was great. It's a bit of a drive off the main road from Kelowna, just past the airport exit. If you have a rally car it would make the drive really interesting!
The Hasler family that run the resort are very very friendly and made me feel welcome right from the start.
I was taken to the smallest wooden cabin, that must also be one of the original ones, as there are markings in the logs (in the cabin, made by the guests) from at least 1970. It had a wood-fire in the corner, which took a while to get started - but once you get the technique right it's easy! The fire was pretty essential on a couple of nights, as it got down to -3C (ok, I know it's Canada and you're all used to -30C). Stupidly I'd only bought a single-season sleeping bag, so a trip into Kelowna was necessary to buy some thermals.
There's lots of activities to do at the resort - canoeing, kayaking, fishing (with license), mountain-biking and much more.
I had a very relaxing time here, reading and going out onto the lake. Just thinking about it now, makes me yearn to go back.
