Tucked away in five million acres of spectacular wilderness, The Chilko Experience is a private hideaway encircled by the emerald lakes, snow-capped mountains, and luscious forests of the Chilcotin. Featuring six luxury log cabins, here you\u2019ll do as much (or as little) as you like. Waterside hot tubs and the hotel\u2019s moon garden offer pockets of tranquillity while the lodge bar and gym offer the chance to connect with fellow travellers. Between your adventures into the wild, you\u2019ll dine on maple wood tables beneath a glittering chandelier \u2013 or tuck into campfire S\u2019mores beneath the stars. Or both.<\/p>\n
Set against a striking mountainous backdrop and overlooking the glistening Chilko Lake, The Chilko Experience is located in Chilcotin, a beautifully wild region of British Columbia, between the Coast Mountains and the Fraser River. Taking a one hour charter flight from Vancouver, you\u2019ll arrive in style. Home to brown bears, wolves, eagles, mountain goats, and salmon, this breathtaking plateau is a vibrant paradise at the heart of nature. Especially in September. Perfectly positioned to witness this natural spectacle, you\u2019ll watch as the Chilko River plays host to thousands of Sockeye salmon \u2013 while eagle-eyed grizzly bears take the plunge to catch a feast.<\/p>\n
Crafted from the finest red cedar and decorated with authentic period antiques, the chic design of The Chilko Experience emanates rustic charm. Each luxurious log cabin boasts private decks, cozy living areas, and spectacular views of the surrounding Chilcotin wilderness. If we had our pick, we\u2019d opt for the Tower House, which overlooks the estate\u2019s private lake and the mountains beyond. This fairytale log castle features a wraparound deck, rainforest bathroom, and \u2018Rapunzel tower\u2019. The perfect place to let your hair down and relax. Fancy the entire wilderness resort to yourself? Just ask and we\u2019ll make it exclusively yours, with space for up to 18 guests.<\/p>\n
We love the philosophy behind The Chilko Experience, where the emphasis is placed on experiences connecting with nature and wildlife. Embrace your wild side by catching fish, axe throwing at the Viking range, horseback riding, kayaking on Chilko Lake, and swapping stories around the campfire. Between soaring over ancient glaciers by helicopter and seeking out bears in the wild, here you\u2019ll embark on countless adventures. After exploring the mesmerising landscapes, an indulgent soak in one of the waterside hot tubs is the perfect way to unwind.<\/p>\n
Located 40 miles from the nearest power grid, the hotel\u2019s sustainability ethos is at the heart of its operations. Making use of natural resources, all the estate\u2019s lodges are powered by solar energy. But that\u2019s not all. The Chilko Experience also acts sustainably by growing organic vegetables and herbs, offering biodegradable soaps and shampoos to guests, drawing its fresh water from a well, and heating its chemical-free hot tub with firewood. This is off grid living at its finest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
