Lac Le Jeune Wilderness Resort

Lac Le Jeune

This was my third time staying here, once for a wedding and twice for NYE. As long as you go in knowing it’s a rustic spot that people will be doing outdoor actives, it’s great. The cabins are decent, although could really use new beds. If you are planning on cooking a larger meal, I would suggest bringing the kitchen supplies you need, as they can be lacking in that department. Good value if you have a few people in each cabin. 

Rustic Cabins

My husband booked a cabin for our family of 4 for my birthday. 
We arrived at the cabin at 330 pm and left at 5pm. Here’s why. 
The cabin was fine. Aside from being outdated and the cigarette butt filled can that my 1 1/2 year old found. Yuck. The view was lovely as was the walk through the property. 
We were all excited about the amenity room. We all wanted to go swimming, enjoy the hot tub and play in the game room. So that’s where we headed. As soon as we opened the doors we could tell something was wrong. It smelled awful. The pool was murky and the floors were dirty. We went downstairs to the hot tub, gym and game room and we were greeted by an even worse smell. Oh and a huge puddle on the ground. We looked up and the ceiling was leaking and full of mold! the hot tub and sauna were dirty. It was absolutely disgusting. I rushed my kids out of there and they both had meltdowns because they wanted to swim. So now we were forced back to the cabin with nothing to do. 
My husband called to let them know about this and they suggested a full refund if we wanted to leave. So we did.
Dirty, Outdated, a complete waste of time. We understand now why there are so many cabins listed for sale.

Bad Experience.

The fully furnished chalets are top notch and very pleasing to the eye. They will have everything  there that you need. The internet / wifi can be spotty so don't expect to be connected all the time. The heated pool and games room is a nice way to spend a few hours and a nice touch.

Nice place to stay with the family

We stayed here for one night recently. The cabin was plenty large enough for four of us, with a double room on the ground floor and two double beds on the mezzanine floor. The bathroom was clean and a good size. The living room/kitchen area was large enough too. A little basic and didn't seem to be as clean as I would expect - there were crumbs or something on the sofa when we arrived. It was a nice quiet location though but of course nothing else nearby ie in walking distance (not that we could find anyway)

Fairly basic but comfortable accommodation

First of all - don’t even consider staying here.  Don’t be fooled by the nice surroundings.  Drive on to Kamloops and find one of the many nice hotels.

You are welcomed by a sour owner and the equally sour smell of cooking food.  Once you adjust to the smell, you realise you have been thrown back into the 1980s.  The decor is dated and shabby.  The management need to realise that scattering soft toys around the lobby not only adds to the outdated feel, it also creates a slightly creepy atmosphere.

The rooms are no better.  No air-con.  Outdated decor.  Dead flies in the windows.  A cup full of cigarette ends on the balcony.  A bathroom that Hitchcock would have loved.  A shower that dribbles water and makes a screeching noise. 

Positives - err, none.

Don’t do it!

My husband and I travelled from Calgary, through the Rockies, and over to Victoria, on a self-drive holiday, stopping at various locations as we went. Lac Le Jeune Wilderness Resort was one of them.
Our first problem was that the Resort allows booking sites to use a postcode that relates to Kamloops, some 40+ km away. With a Sat Nav that didn't do us any favours either, it took us about 2 hours to find the place. On arriving we discovered that the cabin we'd been allocated, had a good position with a nice view, but other cabins on the site had no view at all. I have no idea if the price you pay reflects the view you have - so we'd advise that you check this first. We had our dinner on the front decking that evening as it was warmer outside, than in the cabin, which struck us as very cold.
Currently, the 30 cabins are being offered for sale. Our's was already in private hands, and we think that influenced the strict rules and guidelines we found on our arrival. In some ways we couldn't disagree with the sentiments, especially concerning noise, nuisance and general bad behaviour, but the tone was so officious, it implied everyone was likely to behave that way, for which the punishment would be severe (ie. fines and eviction). However, what made us laugh, was the threat of a fine to be levied on "...inventoried..." crockery, glasses and cutlery. Apart from the plates and bowls, absolutely nothing matched, and was reminiscent of unwanted items left on a White Elephant stall. You'd have to be pretty desperate to stoop that low, but I don't doubt that someone possibly would be.   
But of all the challenging aspects were the beds. You had a choice of three - 1) downstairs was a 5ft bed in a 5ft 4 inch gap, which meant you had to crawl up to the head end to get in, or 2) & 3) which were on a mezzanine level, both with huge log cross beams, right at head height, that would have knocked you senseless if you'd got up to pee in the night.
With the noise and night-time headlights from Highway 5, slightly taking the edge off the "...wilderness..." angle, I'd say we were left somewhat underwhelmed.

Can be beautiful, but challenging....

We had the privilege of attending our son’s wedding at Lac Le Jeune Wilderness Resort this past weekend. The cabins were clean and well appointed but what made the weekend such a success was working with Ang and Charlene to ensure the wedding was a success. They were professional, approachable and extremely helpful. They helped make what can be a stressful, busy event into a relaxing celebration, and we are extremely grateful. I would definitely recommend hosting any function here!

Wedding Weekend

We chose this place because some of their cabins allow dogs.  It was a great little cabin, room to sleep 6 although it was just the two of us and the dog.  Full kitchen amenities to make dinner.  We really enjoyed it.

Great that they accept dogs!

The bungalows always include 2 units. So you rent almost half a fully equipped bungalow. The bungalows are arranged around a small lake. Nice to look but it is also connected to many mosquitoes. Also, more seating would be desirable directly in front of the bungalows (spaces for 6 people but only 2 chairs in front of the bungalow...). Kitchen etc. Everything is available and can be used. Unfortunately no dishwasher. We have a little grill missing (you would have to bring it yourself). For this, there is a fire station right by the lake where you can sit well in the evenings.
