Ten Stone Mountain Lodge was built by the team at North-Wright Airways over three summers from 2016-2019. The lodge sits on a unique lake at the intersection of many mountain valleys and several unnamed peaks. The land here is so untamed and remote, palpably so. As you can imagine, building the cabin was no small feat.
For a summer, three men, skilled builders, friends, and journeymen in their own right, spent three months living in the Mackenzie Mountains. They spent their days timber-framing and sipping whiskey under the midnight sun. The Twin Otter would regularly flay in and land on the lake to replenish their supplies. Groceries and lumber were hauled in as they built this little masterpiece.
When you set foot in the lodge, the skill, attention to detail, and pure love they wove into the woodwork shines through. Today Ten Stone persists, waiting for the next lucky visitor to breathe that alpine air.
The lodge comes fully equipped for your stay. The main floor has two private rooms with a double bed each, and the loft contains one queen and two singles. The kitchen has everything you need, including a coffee maker, mini-fridge, oven, necessary utensils, and dinnerware. As stationary BBQs can attract local wildlife, a small portable BBQ is available upon request.
Running water is sourced from our alpine lake during the warmer months. However, all the water is frozen during winter, so we provide water jugs to haul in for winter visits.
You will have the option for internet access during your stay. This is not necessary, but internet access is available if you want to stay connected.
We would be happy to help you plan your trip to Ten Stone Mountain Lodge either as an add-on to your canoe or raft trip or as a standalone trip.
