Hi everyone,

I am looking to book accommodations early ahead of next year's Fall hunting season, and was hoping to hear some recommendations

I live in the LML, and am willing to drive up to 10 hours.
I will have 18 month and 3 year old future hunters and anglers, as well as my wife with me.
Family friendly hunting lodges with lakes, trails, and things to keep little kids interested while Dad is out are an asset
target species are mostly everything (Mule, WT, Elk, Moose, Black bear, grouse etc.
cabins with electric heating, preferred (electric heat and warm running water), to make it easier with the young kids.

looking forward to hearing suggestions that will help get me out hunting a bit more with a young family, while also getting the family into the experience and lifestyle.

Thank you,

Andrew

There was a beautiful set up of 2 or 3 nice family cabins out of lake close to Kamloops .

The fellow was a good dude and used to adverise on here. I recall hunting and of coarse good rainbow fishing close by. Sounded very hunter friendly.

Sorry I dont recall the name........ some one might post it.

With Wife and Kids along and wanting a bit of comfort and such, suggest Kellettcabin.webs.com in Tulameen.
Nice, clean place, large lot, electric and wood heat, outside firepit, ATVing from the door, Tulameen River 1 minute walk and Otter lake 10 minutes plus the convenience of a store / café / liquor store / gas etc. a 5 minute walk.
Easy drive from the LML., 25 minutes NW of Princeton.
Depending on what you are hunting and time of the year you can access areas to hunt 10 minutes or hours away.
There's quite a number of HBCers who frequent the place.

Wendigo Lodge on Tranquille Lake north of Kamloops is good too.

Several operators on Loon Lake, we did a trip with a similar family composition and it was quite nice. Decent hunting as well

I stay at Blacktail Ridge Lodge in Wynndel BC. It’s in 4-6. I’ve stayed here 2-3 times a year for the last 4 years. I organize an annual bow hunting group and also bring my family to stay in the summer time as do some of my friends. The hosts are great and they have a great setup for hunters. There is a cold room for hanging any animals harvested and a butcher can be arranged to come on site. He’s very reasonable and the biggest plus for me is I never lose control of the meat. The 3 bedroom lodge is perfect for families. Dean is on huntingbc as btridge.
