Stay with Us.

Stay

Relax Here.

At Sunshine Bay, life is simpler and the choices abundant: you can hang out in a hammock and read a book, head down to the lake for a paddle, or hike the meadows near Kootenay Glacier. You also have permission to do absolutely nothing!

Guests have access to bicycles, helmets, a canoe, and water toys, as well as our new 20×24 floating dock where you can do yoga in the morning sun and watch Kokanee salmon swim below.

Make sure to say hello to our resident llamas, Diego and Azurine. If you’re lucky, you might get a llama kiss!
