Full Story - Dreaming of a Better Place VideoThe Story
Founded in 2014 by Jeff Gostlin and his father, Keith, Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge was built sitting at 1400 metres, nested between the Monashee Mountains and Keefer Lake. Designed to host up to 30 guests in the winter and 50 in the summer, the lodge offers custom packages for private groups and international travelers, ensuring everyone feels like part of the family—whether they’re here for a wedding, corporate retreat, or an unforgettable Catski experience.
The lodge combines sustainability with luxury, utilizing solar power, a Micro-Hydro station, and wood heat, while offering a range of upscale amenities, including an outdoor hot tub, Scandinavian sauna, massage services, and a pub-style games room. Our chefs create exceptional meals from locally sourced ingredients, enhancing your stay with fresh, creative flavours. And for Star Wars fans, “Rogue One” and “Star Destroyer”—our custom-built Pisten Bully snowcats—add an extra touch of adventure, with heated cabs, leather seats, and a powerful sound system, making your mountain ascent as thrilling as the ride down.
What Sets Us Apart
When you step into the lodge, you are not just greeted as a guest, but embraced as a cherished member of the Keefer family. From the warm smiles that welcome you to the epic memories made on the mountain or on the lake, we strive to create an atmosphere where friendships are made, and memories can be shared. At Keefer, strangers become friends, and friends become family. This is called the Keefer Magic—a blend of hospitality and genuine camaraderie that transforms every visit into an unforgettable journey.
