    Description

    It is situated right on the shoreline of breathe taking Quesnel Lake. In excess of 2,200 feet deep, Quesnel Lake is the deepest fresh water fjord in the world. The Lodge is constructed from cedar logs that were harvested locally from the lodge property. Today, this beautiful structure continues to add to the countless memories that have been made here for over sixty years. Skeed and Sharon Borkowski have worked to modernize this historic lodge while maintaining its unique characteristics over the past 25 years! The quality of the lodge experience here has enabled us to become a world-renowned fly fishing destination!
    We have rental cabin, cooking and cleaning for guests at the lodge, flower beds to maintain, lawns maintenance, small mechanic and carpentry project that need attending to from time to time, cutting of firewood and cleaning of vehicles. We are looking for someone cheerful, outgoing, loves people and nature that has some experience in catering or cleaning or could help with general maintenance of our place..

    We feel so blessed to live in the breathe taking place with mountain views to stream, lakes with abundant fish and wildlife. There is hiking trails, historical Quesnel forks to see, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, boating, ATV'ing, our cute little town of Likely has a store, 2 hotels & a pub, 2 restaurants, and a mechanic shop.
