Just over a decade ago a young B.C. Canadian by the name of Dave Cowley discovered the ultimate summer escape from the bustling and polluted urban city streets of Vancouver. Nestled in a beautiful mountainous valley, the pristine waters of Sakinaw Lake provided the ideal natural landscape for various outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, camping, and an altogether peaceful relaxation.

As a carpentry expert, Dave soon built his dream cabin and the serene environment of Sakinaw Lake served as the perfect weekend getaway for his close family and friends. Unbeknownst to him, Dave would soon encounter an unexpected but exciting life alteration when he came across the vibrant energy of Suzie St-Cyr and her beautiful daughter Melissa Sue.

A French Canadian with Caribbean origin, Suzie moved to Western Canada over 16 years ago specializing in Business and Hospitality and now fluent in both French and English. Suzie and Melissa Sue were very pleased and excited (to say the least!) when they first experienced Dave’s dreamy escape and have spent countless holidays and weekends revelling in all that this utopic environment provides.

The cabin served as a location for family vacations and adventures for years, but weekend trips just were not enough. Suzie and Dave loved every minute of what Sakinaw Lake had to offer and their dream to share the experience grew after they married in 2000. Upon realizing that they preferred this peaceful and remote environment over chaotic city life, they discovered a way to achieve their dream.

With Dave’s 22 years of experience as head carpenter and project coordinator at Vancouver’s Grouse Mountain Ski Resort, coupled with Suzie’s 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, they have turned their dream into reality by investing years of hard work, time, and energy into creating the perfect Bed & Breakfast Retreat and opening their private cabin into an experience that can be shared by great people from all over BC, North America, and around the world.

We invite you to partake in our dream and experience the relaxing, fun-filled days that we’ve had the opportunity to enjoy ourselves for years on Sakinaw Lake. Come stay at Sakinaw Lake Lodge and spend the night in one of many beautiful, private rooms. Wake up and swim in the warm waters before indulging in a delicious breakfast prepared by Suzie, who specializes in French cuisine. Spend the day in the sun and partake in a multitude of outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, boating, and experience the excitement of various water sports such as tubing, waterskiing, knee or wakeboarding. Wind down and relax by soaking in the hot tub overlooking the picturesque view of the lake and surrounding mountains. Spend the evening around the campfire while gazing at the billions of stars overhead as they illuminate the surreal landscape of Sakinaw Lake.

We invite you to relax, unwind and enjoy all that this
surreal, natural environment has to offer.
