The hosts were awesome to work with. We were excited about this stay mainly for the peace and quiet and it did not disappoint. The sunrises and sunsets were picturesque, the wildlife was so welcomed, and the rooms were clean and spacious; lots of equipment in the kitchen so you pretty much don’t need to bring anything extra. For a couple of Albertan city slickers, we did not want to leave and have fond memories to take home! Thank you:)

Wonderful spot for large group gathering

We were a group of 12 (3 families), on a ski road trip. Staying at the guest lodge was so special as there was plenty of room for all of us to share dinners, play games etc but still have our own space. Beautiful setting and close to Mt Baldy which is a wonderful small ski hill. Erika was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Loved our stay.

One of the best most relaxing places we have stayed!

We had such an amazing time staying out at the Lodge! It was a central meeting point for family from Saskatchewan and Idaho for a couple days, before heading on to our next destination. I think we were all a little sad when it was time to head off to our next destination as we could have spent many more days out at the lodge, hiking, exploring the area, floating in the river, and witnessing wildlife. The lodge exceeded are expectations, it was so well stocked with everything we needed, very clean, the beds were very comfy and there was tons of room for our group of 14. We are already planning our next trip back and our kids cannot wait!!!

Incredible big sky ranch house experience

We stayed here in early May and loved every minute of our time. The land and house were stunning and exactly as advertised. This property is perhaps the best equipped place we have ever stayed especially the kitchen, making a gourmet experience possible if you love to cook. The location is secluded and private and immediately lends itself to a sense of quiet and a slower pace. The night sky is amazing and fire pit encourages you to come outside and enjoy the evening. Without a doubt the best part of our trip was the truly amazing hosts- the Fossen family are some of the kindest, generous and genuine people you’ll ever meet. We had a great trip and look forward to returning.

A delightfully unusual house in a wonderful setting

I stayed at Fossen's Guest Lodge for a few nights in August 2023, with my three (young adult) kids. We had an excellent time. The house is visually striking, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. It is also very well situated, being surrounded by >600 acres of attractive grassland and trees and approached by a 3.5 km-long dirt track. One definitely feels 'away from it all' when staying at the lodge. We made full use of the facilities, especially the billiards/pool table and the table-tennis table. If it had rained during the day, we would have been able to amuse ourselves indoors without a problem, I'm sure. Lastly, the property manager, Erika, was brilliant. Very friendly and attentive. I hope we can return to the lodge in the near future.

Look past the touristy hustle of Osoyoos!

There I was booking yet another Summer stay at a lakeside condo rental in Osoyoos when I came across this GEM. You want to "unplug"? Enjoy a sprawling log cabin on massive acreage. Go for hikes across the property during the day, explore old cabins dating back to 1898 (careful), old antique trucks hiding in the trees. Inside boasts a fantastic bar setup downstairs with a pool table. An ideal place for groups of couples to enjoy. 15 minutes down the road enjoy the old swimming hole of the Kettle River, or a very rustic pub lol. The owners are an absolutely superb family and make you feel very welcome, amazing attention to cleanliness and detail. When I say unplug I mean it, there's not even a TV in the place but you won't miss it. Cellular service is "full bar" if you must. We were offered a 25% discount on a Winter's stay, with Mt.Baldy nearby it might be worth checking out to go "off grid" from the crowds and stratospheric price points of our usual Whistler/Blackcomb trip. Check this place out, you owe it to yourself.

Awesome ranch experience

Perfect for our extended family of 6 adults and 6 kids. Excellent kitchen made meal prep a breeze. Many wide open spaces and large rooms, so comfy. So happy there were lots of beds and also 4 nice roll out cots so we could configure sleeping arrangements perfectly. The kids enjoyed playing in the huge yard. Watching the cattle, wild turkeys, deer and elk was an added bonus. Highly recommend for a big family vacation.

Amazing!!

Beautiful lodge, surreal view! We enjoyed our stay so much. There were 11 of us for a family reunion and there was plenty of space for us all to enjoy being together but also be able to spread out when we needed individual time. The stars were amazing without any light pollution. The lodge was clean and well appointed, and Erica was so friendly. We went to Osoyoos which was about 30 min away and enjoyed wine tasting and beach time. We also floated the Kettle River which was so fun! We would love to come back again!

Family Celebration

We booked the property to celebrate our parents' 80th birthdays. When we saw the property on VRBO, we were sold! Once we arrived, it exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful and tranquil. The cabin is so spacious and very well-equipped. No need to worry about not having wifi -- we kept busy playing pool, ping-pong, games and had a puzzle set up for anyone to work on. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family. Thank you Erika and family!

Hidden Gem To Come Back To!

This was our second summer coming to fossens lodge and again it was more than we could have expected. The lodge is massive and beautiful and has everything we need to make our family style dinners every night. The days and night are peaceful as we have time to gaze the fields for deer and birds flying in the sky and being able to see the milky way which is something we can't see from the city. There's so much space for family and friends to enjoy different things at the same time. Erika was such an amazing host, greeting us as we arrived. Making sure we had everything and taking care of us when we had car issues and being extra accommodating. We have decided to make fossens lodge a part of our summer tradition. Can't wait to come back!

10/10 Experience!

This was our second time staying at the Fossen Guest Lodge and it was as amazing as we remembered it the first time. I don’t often stay at the same place twice because I like to see what else is out there, but this place is just that good. The place was clean with comfortable bedding and seating throughout the space. The kitchen had everything we needed for home cooking, including a BBQ and serving dishes for family style meals. Great bathrooms, and one with a large separate tub. But the winner has to be the setting and design of the lodge. It is a beautifully constructed log house sitting atop an open field surrounded by trees - the pictures are true to reality, it really is that beautiful (and honestly it’s even better in person). If you’re looking for a quiet stay with a communicative, friendly and reliable host in the region - this is the one. No complaints.
