Cross River consists of two connected operations areas that we refer to as the Cross River grounds. The first includes a main lodge for meals and communal gatherings, cabin accommodations, and various indoor and outdoor retreat and program spaces interspersed throughout the forest along Yearling Creek.

The second includes two outpost camps, ancestral skills sites, and lookout trails that are part of our BC License of Occupation agreement around the Yearling Creek headwaters and peaks. Other hiking, backpacking, rafting, and biking options outside these grounds can also be accessed directly from your door or within a 20-55 minute drive.

Main Lodge
The main lodge is the heart of the facility, where guests check in and gather to eat, visit, and relax. All trails around the grounds begin and return here. The building is powered by solar and micro-hydro energy. It consists of a full kitchen, plumbing and running water, two indoor eating areas, a living room, washrooms, two large decks, and an outdoor wood-fired hot tub.

Meals
Delicious meals are cooked on-site by our resident chef from roughly May through September. They are prepared fresh every day in a chef's choice menu and are served in the main lodge, buffet-style, with Rocky Mountain views for all guests. Culinary possibilities change according to seasons, creativity, programs, and dietary requests.

Heritage Cabins
The cabins are interspersed amongst the trees next to a semi-forested meadow in front of the main lodge. There are eight in total, all decorated in Canadiana decor with items from our own family history. Each cabin is powered by solar energy and has plumbing and running water, a queen bed, a twin bed, a fireplace, a three-piece bathroom, and a front porch.
