This place is a little piece of heaven. We had the best time and loved everything about our stay. The photos don’t do it justice. The setting is even better in person. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot. Highly recommend.
We spent a few days at the Rainbow Trout lodge during winter. The property is right on a frozen lake which is just so beautiful. The house has big windows so you can enjoy the view while sitting in front of the fire place. It was nice to enjoy the hot tube while the kids played outside in the snow. We were a big group but the kitchen was well equipped and labeled to know your way around the kitchen. There was more than enough towels and blankets. It took us under and hour to get to Sun Peaks to ski, but is was relaxing coming back after a busy day. We had a lovely time!
It was an amazing experience with breathtaking views and something to do for all age groups. The star gazing at night was my favorite. The hosts were super nice and very responsive. We will definitely come back again.
This was a wonderful weekend of skating on the lake, ice fishing, home cooked dinners, hot tubbing, snow angels, and smores on the campfire. Manager was accessible and friendly, accommodating on our last minute schedule.

Stayed here with my parents, sisters, niece and nephews as well as my husband - 10 adults, 3 children under 5. The pros: very private, nicely landscaped with grass for the kids to run around, direct access to the lake. Very nice to have a private dock. Fire pit was nice and big for everyone to sit around. Hosts were responsive. Beautiful property.The cons - dirty, like gross dirty, especially the shack and chalet. We saw the negative reviews regarding cleaning and reached out in advance and were reassured this issue had been fixed - it had not. Talking cob webs on all the lights, someone’s bathing suit hanging off a door, the bath mat was nasty, BBQ looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. Also only the main house is stocked with kitchen stuff. The chalet had one spoon and the shack was very bare. There were expired food items like a can of soup from 2023 and spices that expired in 2019. Also no toiletries aside from hand soap provided. Not great considering the price. Advice if you are going to- bring your own pillows and towels. Also there aren’t blinds or blinds are broken in many of the sleeping areas so bring a mask.Despite this I truly would want to return but only if these issues were significantly fixed, truly the shack and chalet need a major renovation. In its current state, especially with the lack of cleanliness I would not go back. Little things could make this a 10/10 property!

Great place on the lake but not close to SunPeaks.
Great place on the lake but not close to SunPeaks.
We had a great experience staying at Rainbow Trout Resort. The weather was great, the property is beautiful. Easy access right off the main road, you can hear vehicles driving by, but its pretty much unnoticable. Such a peaceful resort, with the private dock and a serene lake. No cell reception in this area, however, the wifi had great signal for 12 guests.
Spent a weekend there skiing. Many sweet things about this cabin- wood fireplace, hot tub, comfortable seating. Not set up well super well for big groups with showers or rooms, but it was overall great.
Love this property. Stayed here twice now and love waking up to the amazing lake view. Its right by the lake with canoes available. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Highly recommended

Shannon, It was great hosting you and your family! That's great that you celebrated your wedding and Forest Lake provides a great back drop for an event like this. It would be great to have you back in the future!
Take care,

This is such an incredible location for medium to large groups. We just had such a fun weekend playing volleyball on the grass, swimming in the lake, cooking up summer meals on the BBQ, and more. We highly recommend staying at this location if you enjoy the outdoors and enjoy having all your amenities at your fingertips.

You guys are great Nicholas!
We always appreciate your enthusiasm for the resort! You are welcome back anytime.
Tracy and Brooks were lovely hosts. We had a great time at the property with no issues! Everything was clean and comfortable, with ample space for guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to others looking for a place in the area! Hot tub, fire pit (both propane and real wood), lawn for games and a private lake. It was paradise.
Awesome place! We love it because it's great for all ages. The private beach makes it relaxing to watch children. Each family could have their space in the separate homes. Everyone had a great time kayaking, lounging and playing games. Thanks Shawn and Tracy!

We looked all across the beautiful province of British Columbia in search of the ideal setting for our family and friends to enjoy all the beauty and splendor B.C. has to offer. Once we found Forest Lake we knew this was the place! Over the past 11 years we have been able to create many wonderful memories but we would also like to share the properties beauty with all the great families around the world.
Why they chose this property
This property hosts a unique blend of privacy and comfort. It allows a great setting for visiting with friends and family in a wonderful setting amongst nature. Cue the loons, the jumping trout, the eagles, deer and beavers.
What makes this property unique
Great opportunities to experience campfires, swimming, barbecues, your own private dock right in front of your doorstep. Rent one or all 4 buildings on the property to offer a truly private and exclusive experience for an intimate setting for two or a large gathering/reunion.
