Drumkeeran House at dusk: the cedar lodge's gables and timber porch lit from within, among tall firs and cedars below a forested mountainside.

The whole house, on Ivey Lake.

A cedar log country house on a private headland near Pemberton, BC. Six ensuite bedrooms, a Great Hall and a dock, yours alone for intimate weddings, family reunions and long stays.

The house at dusk

The place

Inside the horseshoe.

Ivey Lake bends in a horseshoe, and the house stands on the headland inside the bend: five private acres of forest and lawn with a dock of its own. It is built of square-cut, dovetailed Western Red Cedar to a design by architect Ted Murray, and a caretaker lives on the grounds.

Mount Currie and the autumn forest mirrored in the still water of Ivey Lake.

Gatherings

Everyone under one roof.

Family getaways and reunions, retreats and milestone birthdays. The whole house and headland are yours for the length of your stay, and everyone wakes up here.

  1. The Great Hall: leather sofas around a low table, the stone fireplace under a gilt overmantel, a chandelier and tall windows onto the forest.

    Arrive

    The Great Hall is where everyone gathers: a vaulted cedar ceiling, an antler chandelier and the baronial stone fireplace.

  2. A carved king bed made up in white, a cushion embroidered with two hares, and a lamp on the night table.

    The morning after

    Six ensuite bedrooms, so everyone wakes up under the same roof.

  3. The dock's swim ladder over Ivey Lake, with the autumn forest and Mount Currie across the water.

    By the water

    The dock is a short walk across the lawn: coffee at first light, a canoe before breakfast, and Mount Currie across the water.

Ask about your dates

Not an event venue: a small celebration is considered case by case, and the house is quiet after 10 pm.

Through the year

Every season, the whole house.

Winter fires after a day at Whistler, long evenings on the dock in summer, still water in autumn and the trout season opening in spring.

  1. An Adirondack chair at the end of the dock in autumn, the dark lake and the forest beyond, gold leaves in the foreground.

    Autumn

    The forest around the lake turns gold, and on a calm day the water doubles it.

  2. Ivey Lake frozen and covered in snow, framed by frosted branches, with snow-covered forest and peaks beyond.

    Winter

    The lake freezes for weeks at a time. Whistler Blackcomb is about 45 minutes away.

  3. Snow-covered Mount Currie and the spring forest mirrored in the still, blue water of Ivey Lake.

    Spring

    Snow stays on Mount Currie as the lake opens. Catch-and-release trout season reopens on April 1.

  4. Two people in chairs on the dock in summer sun, seen through alder leaves, with the lake and forested hills beyond.

    Summer

    Long days on the dock, a canoe and kayaks on the lake, and the hot tub for the evenings.

Three nights minimum, four over Christmas and New Year.
