Retallack is located approximately an hour’s drive north of the artsy, bohemian, laid-back town of Nelson, British Columbia. We’re accessible by car on a well-maintained highway, which means you don’t have to worry about baggage limits on helicopter flights, long trips to your accommodation in other vehicles, or leaving your car behind in an unattended parking lot. After all, why waste valuable riding time spending hours getting to and from your accommodation?
The Lodge
Adventurers have been carving their way through our mountain wilderness since the late 1800s. Today, we just do it in a little more style. Our 11,000-square-foot lodge sits at the bottom of our massive backcountry playground and comes stock with gourmet food, a lively bar, outdoor hot tub, private rooms, and most of all, great times full of story and cheer.Learn more about our hospitality at Retallack

Get Cozy – Luxury in the WoodsOur luxury timber frame lodge is nestled in an old growth forest on the banks of the Kaslo River – site of the Academy Award nominated film Snow Falling on Cedars. Retallack Lodge will be your home base during your powder snow or mountain biking adventure. You can expect friendly service in our cozy surroundings as you indulge in gourmet meals, carefully prepared by our chefs and served in style in our fully licensed bar and dining room. Feel free to sit back and relax in front of our fireplaces and watch “caveman television” or find your swagger in our games room. To round things off, rejuvenate yourself in our sauna and hot tub, or experience a variety of our massage therapies. |

Cuisine |
Gourmet CuisineImagine enjoying a delicious three-course dinner with your choice of wine, right in the middle of one of the world’s most beautiful and unspoiled alpine wildernesses. Here at Retallack, we’re proud to offer our guests mouth-watering cuisine and a thoughtfully-assembled wine selection, all in the cozy surroundings of our backcountry timber-frame lodge. However, we understand that you want more than gourmet food and wine during your holiday – you’ll also need high-energy meals and snacks throughout the day if you’re going to tear it up on the mountain. Like all passionate riders, we know how important it is to stoke your engine at breakfast, refuel at lunch, and top up those energy levels après riding. That’s why Retallack’s culinary philosophy is, “energy-packed meals by day…fine dining by night.” It’s all part of the ultimate backcountry experience. |
