Our experience did not match up with the excellent on-line reviews. Perhaps our case was the exception but I doubt it. This lodge is in a spectacular but remote location - there aren't any good alternative lodgings nearby. Just be forewarned that the owners can be unresponsive, even arrogant, when dealing service problems, of which we had several. I am... More

We only stayed for 2 nights in late September and wished it had been longer. Forget the long unmade drive and just remember the view when you arrive - 3 bears on the beach looking for crabs with the nearest bear only about 30 yards away - Fantastic views and photos. The rooms and bathrooms are not luxurious but they... More

We've just returned from 3 weeks on Vancouver Island and saw more wildlife in our 4 nights at Hidden Cove Lodge than on the rest of the holiday - amazing. We were really lucky to see mummy bear and her 2 cubs every day, as well as 'Meathead" (male bear) on a couple of occasions. We also saw otters and... More

We stayed for 4 nights at Hidden Cove Lodge and loved it. We arrived on a perfect, blue-skyed day and were so impressed with the scenery. The room was small but perfectly adequate, we ate dinner twice at the Lodge and it was delicious. Dinner was not served one of the nights we were there so we were glad we... More

The title says it all. This place offers a unique experience in a wilderness setting. We had a one-bedroom cottage with a wonky propane heater which struggled to keep the inside temperature in the 60s. But the bed was very comfy and cozy, the silence divine, the three-course dinners well-cooked and well-served. Still, the most compelling attraction is the wildlife.... More

The Lodge is well hidden from the road, about 15 minutes of unpaved pleasure (in your SUV), before you arrive at this wonderful site. The lodge really breathes a homelike feeling, with fireplace, lovely views of the outdoors, very comfortable homely sitting area and most of all very friendly hosts. The rooms are a bit small but very well equipped... More

All accomodations in Telegraph Cove were booked so I was delighted to come across the write up and recommendation on Trip Advisory for Hidden Cove Lodge. I called and was able to book a room for the night we wanted. We explored Telegraph Cove for the afternoon then made the short drive to Hidden Cove Lodge. We found the Lodge... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on our visit to North Vancouver Island. Should have stayed longer ! The lodge is in quite a remote place about 3km down an unmade track, but once back at the start of the track you join a made up road and from there it is about 10-15 minutes to Telegraph Cove and about...

An absolutely fantastic stay – we could not have asked for more. The lodge is peaceful and quaint, has a variety of wildlife on its doorstep, a friendly atmosphere, good food and hosts that go out of their way to make their guests welcome. We stayed at Hidden Cove Lodge for 3 wonderful nights and days. The setting is truly... More
