Outstanding Stay in Bella Coola Valley
Reviewed By Sylvia RThe Ellis family made us feel right at home. Friendly & welcoming seems to be the name of the game at Bella Coola Grizzly Tours - it was noticeable. We were lodged in the new Sliver Grizzly Suite, which is exceptionally well built and designed. Great job done. This is our first trip to Bella Coola, and we don't think we could have had better accommodations in a beautiful setting carved out of the wilderness. This place is remarkable. The special highlight was Leonard Ellis' close to 5-hour trip where we saw magnificent west coast red cedars and a drive on "The Hill" in search of bears, who were descending from the mountain to the lush valley below, munching on new grass ending their winter hibernation. Eleven bears, including 6 grizzlies, many with cubs, were sighted at close range! As a long-time experienced outfitter and guide in Bella Coola Valley, Leonard is an encyclopedia of local knowledge and very entertaining with his many stories, including some close encounters with bears in the wild. His love and approach to nature, including the natural balance of prey and predators, are enlightening. Congratulations to Daniel, Tiffany, Shannon and Leonard, and WWOOFer Colleen from Belgium, who was working with the Ellis'. You all made us feel so welcome - we really hope to be able to come back. We highly recommend Bella Coola Grizzly Tours as a laid-back base from which to explore Bella Coola Valley.

Great Lodge in a fantastic location
Reviewed By sandrahZ1357SXWe had a three night stay here and loved it! The rooms were very modern and comfortable. There was free coffee and tea available all day and they provided a free breakfast from the lovely cafe situated under the Lodge. There was lots of outdoor seating at the back and views of the surrounding mountains to die for! We thought the Lodge was great value for money and would definitely go back.

Average, adequate
Reviewed By mbw56This is my third review of this establishment. I travel to Bella Coola on business and there are not a lot of choices, especially if you need a kitchenette, a good idea since restaurants are scarce.I was booked for a week. I wrote ahead to request a bright room, as on previous visits the room was very dark. I had to pay extra for a "king" suite, and it did have two windows on the second floor. This required I got help with my heavy suitcase up the outdoor wooden stairs. The kitchen part was good except for a lack of supplies - no pot holders, or dish brush, or oven-proof dish. I was at first told I could not have oven mitts or dish brush due to food-safe rules, but they were kind enough to go out and buy those. I struggled and need help lighting the oven, and the drain stopper in the sink would get stuck and required attention from housekeeping as well. Let's talk about the bed. It was a huge presumably homemade structure with a wooden frame all around the possibly foam mattress. Part of the bedding was a grey colour, which doesn't exactly inspire cleanliness. Four pillows as solid as blocks graced the bed. They were horrible to sleep on. The bedding reeked of candy-sweet laundry products, which I am extremely sensitive to. After a sleepless night (yes the rooster was still doing his thing from 3 am on), I asked for fresh bedding washed in unscented products. They readily agreed to this. I could not tell if they rewashed the same bedding, or gave me fresh. I got into bed the second night and the bedding smelled slightly of laundry scent AND that disgusting musty, stale sheet smell that makes you wonder who last slept in the sheets. I debated asking them to change them again, but decided against it as I was probably already labeled a demanding guest. I slept with a piece of my own (clean) clothing across my nose instead. I did not partake in the "free breakfast" after learning they had no gluten free items except for hard boiled eggs. As mentioned, there are a couple roosters in the neighbourhood that can seriously interrupt your sleep. Also the rooms are very close to the highway, so there is traffic noise during daylight hours and intermittently through the night. I may be forced to stay here again, and I would recommend to anyone booking that you contact the management ahead of time and spell out your needs. With a shortage of accommodations in the Valley, it's easy to play to the lowest common denominator.

Passionate about the bears and his environment but far too opinionated to share a comfortable stay.
Reviewed By Joonthegogood: location, knowledge of the bears and local area, river drifts, excellent cook, nice views. Not so good: extremely opinionated and quite frankly, appears to be angry and hostile. room, including the bathroom have no coverings on them, one of the rooms is his personal room which he gives up when guests are there. it is over priced for what you get as it is basically a "high end" B & B. Sorry, but cannot rate it much higher than average and even at that, it is a push but I would feel guilty giving it a poor rating.

Surprisingly good
Reviewed By kensarafFrom the outside it didn't look promising but the stuff was super friendly and the room was big, clean, and had all the expected amnesties. The only issue we had is that the AC is central so there so way to adjust the temperature in the room. The location is right in the centre of town and you can easily walk to any restaurant, or the river.
