Island Lake Lodge is a remote lodge located at 1403 meters (4,600 feet). We produce all our electricity (85 KW) using 2 flow through, hydro generators on Breanne Springs. We offer a space our guests can disconnect. There are no phones or TVs in individual rooms or jacks for computer hookup, but there is a cell phone booster to provide a high level of cellular reception, and all four lodges are equipped with wireless internet complimentary for guest use. 

An iron and ironing board will be in the common area of all lodges for guests to use over the weekend.

Paths between lodges are packed gravel and our ceremony site 'I Dew Point' is a short, 5-10 minute walk down to the lake from the lodges. The path is a hiking trail with tree roots and uneven surfaces. A shuttle for guests who cannot walk to and from the ceremony site departs the Tamarack Lodge 45 minutes prior to the ceremony. There are ten seats on this shuttle and these seats will be booked with the Wedding Coordinator. We encourage other guests to walk to the ceremony and to bring flat shoes for this. A shuttle for the bridal party leaves the lodge area 15 minutes before your ceremony. Time does not permit for additional shuttles.

While no rooms at Island Lake Lodge are specifically designed for wheelchair accessibility, the best options are Cedar Lodge #1 and #4 due to their larger bathrooms. A ramp can be installed into the Cedar Lodge and we must know this well and advance to let the maintenance crew know.

The Bear Lodge dining area is accessible but there is no accessible washroom available in the building; they would have to go to the Tamarack Lodge. The Tamarack Lodge has a ramp leading into the main-floor dining area with a fully accessible washroom.

Island Lake Lodge does not provide any decorations. Most couples keep it fairly simple with just center pieces, name cards, guest favours, and guest book decorations. I Dew Point is a beautiful setting so it doesn't require decor. 

Our staff will set the tables with linen, napkins, flatware and glassware. They will assist with simple decor. Please speak with the wedding coordinator about this because should your decor be more detailed then it will be best to have a wedding planner or designate one of your guests for decorations. 

Please note Island Lake will not store cakes or flowers prior to the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding we can store your cake and flowers.

Island Lake does not offer any shuttle services off-property.

We recommend researching and contacting shuttle options as soon as possible if you plan to offer your guests this service as there are limited local options. Tunnel 49 is a shuttle/taxi service operating in Fernie. 

Unfortunately no. On-site photography permissions are reserved exclusively for our wedding couples.
