Friends that play together, stay together!  With its' close proximity to Vancouver, and multiple options for access and length of stay,  Journeyman Lodge is unique among other backcountry lodges in British Columbia.  A flexible and convenient option for the annual ski vacation with friends or family.  With lucky timing, it can even be booked in its entirety for groups or special events.

If you wish to organize a group adventure, there are a few different ways to go about making a reservation of this type:  

• FREEBIRD IT: suggest the dates to party members and allow everyone to book at their own leisure (Reservation Fees, and Digital Reservation Agreement required for each reservation) *Can be booked online or with Adventure Crafter Agent
• RESERVE MULTIPLE ACCOMMODATIONS (>3 rooms): booking out multiple accommodation styles on one invoice (Group Folio contract, Unique Group Booking & Cancellation Policies, and Reservation fees) *Must be coordinated with Adventure Crafter Agent
• LOCK IT IN: proceed with a Full Lodge Reservation (Rates start at 10 person guest count): booking out all the lodge accommodations on one invoice (Group Folio contract, $3,000.00 Full Lodge Venue Fee, 10% auto-gratuity, Reservation fees, Unique Group Booking & Cancellation Policies + refundable $3,000.00 security/damage deposit) *Must be coordinated with Adventure Crafter Agent 

 
Callaghan Country’s Journeyman Lodge does not block out rooms or offer group allocation services.  As far as guest experience goes for large groups, it makes the most sense to 'Lock it in' with a Full Lodge Capacity Reservation as it relieves some of the pressure for an immediate commitment from your guests and secures the entire space for the 'whole lodge' ambiance.   This does not give you exclusive use of all lodge facilities; rather, this type of reservation provides the opportunity to enjoy the Journeyman Lodge experience surrounded by close family or friends.  A ‘Full Lodge Capacity Reservation’ allows you to invite up to 24 of your closest friends to join you on this off-the-grid backcountry experience with us.  
 
All deposits (excluding the $3000 security/damage deposit) are 100% non-refundable, so you want to be extremely confident in your group.  The final balance is charged 30 days prior to arrival, at which point the trip is fully locked in.  Please review our Full Group Cancellation Policy online here >>.
