This is my favorite time and place of the year. The lodge is inviting, comfortable, has everything we need and it is in a beautiful place. We love family time and walks down to the river. The host makes sure we have anything we need and is quick to respond to questions. We love this place. If I could, I would move here.

Dear Janet, we are so happy to accommodate your family! We hope to see you again soon.
This property was beautiful inside & out. A lovely lodge for a large family gathering. Our time together was wonderful & the kitchen/dining/living room areas allowed for easy flow, conversation and even quiet spots. All the beds were comfortable, rooms more than adequate for people to be comfortable. The kitchen was amazing and well equipped with pots, pans, dishes & utensils. The only challenge was enough water pressure when several people wanted showers, or the dishwasher was running but, it worked out. This was a great place to stay to access Red Mtn. For skiing-just bring a passport every day & get to know the border patrol! They’re very nice! This would be a wonderful place for a family gathering in the summer too!
The house was awesome, large, clean, private, great location with lots of wildlife. The property managers (Doug & Bonnie) were very helpful. Short walk to the river, beautiful drive up into British Columbia. Also drove to Lake Sullivan (swam at a nice beach), Colville & Kettle Falls for groceries and dining. Highly recommended, we plan to return.

Dear Trudy,
Thank you for staying at our Lodge. We are glad that you had a wonderful time during your visit. Thank you and Happy Holidays.
Northern Lights Lodge is the perfect place for large family gatherings! With 7 bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had the personal space necessary for good sleep and privacy to reboot! The well stocked, large kitchen was perfect for meals at home and lots of games in cupboards. Best by far, is the huge yard and comfortable outdoor spaces where we enjoyed lots of outdoor time. There is a wonderful hike down to the river which was a fun adventure for our crew of 17 ages 4- 60's. Bonnie and Douglas went above and beyond to help us settle, fielded questions about restaurants, safe swim options and other close by attractions. So fun and welcoming to stay at this Lodge! We hope to be back next year!
