meet Hog (the host)

It all started with a ski in/ out lot at Big White, that was five years ago, that is how long it took to build this place - two men and some friends.

If I was not working as a boilermaker I was doing 12-16 hrs. a day on the lodge. We even cut the trees off the lot ourselves!

My partner and I took turns working as boilermakers or the other one would stay and keep the lodge moving forward. It was all teamwork, dedication to the project, trusting in your partner not to give up and financial backing from mom and dad!

The biggest price paid was by my daughters who never had thier dad to take them fishing and hunting and camping for the five years it took to build the lodge. They were 10 yrs, then now at 15 yrs old they enjoy the place too but you'd have to ask them if it was worth it.

I myself also gave up fishing, hunting, playing music guitar, banjo, the people who I played with (who all thought it was too materialistic). Five years with only the struggle of the building and everyone expecting failure to keep me going.

Now it's done and well worth the effort, every year there is improvements made and gifts (mostly pigs) to put up or hang or place.

It's all about getting the word out now so if there's any musicans out there I have special rates for you and boilermakers!

There is also good hunting and fishing, hiking, lots of Canadian wilderness just out the back door as far as the eye can see. Although i'm not set up for buissness rental in the summer / fall , but if your determined call me, we'll work something out.
