There is a popular question asked frequently when arriving in Kaslo for the first time: What is there to do? This usually comes after you step out of the car and soak in the incredible mountain and lake views! Then reality sinks in, there is no Cineplex Odeon, we don't have a professional sports team, and we definitely don't have a mall... in fact, you could walk the entire town in about an hour.

So what do you do?

Join us for a different kind of Writers' Retreat at Wing Creek Resort, July 12 - 15, 2012 for four nights and three days that will banish your fear of the blank page forever. Authorcloud’s 2012 Writers’ Retreat offers a handful of discerning writers the opportunity to come together at Wing Creek Resort, overlooking stunning Kootenay Lake and the soaring Purcell Mountains, for intensive learning sessions, including instruction, discussion, sharing and hands-on activities, all designed to help writers like you to hone their craft and return to their writing projects with new-found confidence and enthusiasm.

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to those of you who are attending this year's BCCFA Conference & AGM in Kaslo!

Special rates for BCCFA AGM attendees! Wing Creek Resort offers a secluded retreat in a breathtaking wilderness setting ... beautiful timber frame cottages with fireplaces and vaulted ceilings ... 20 acres and a large expanse of private beach on pristine Kootenay Lake ... all just 5 minutes from Kaslo!

We are now pleased to be offering an optional Continental Breakfast for our guests. In addition to our always complimentary coffee and tea, you can now choose to enjoy the convenience of a healthy, delicious breakfast in the comfort of your cottage – without preparing it yourself!

Of course, in true Wing Creek fashion, we didn’t want to offer just any ordinary breakfast options. We know that our guests seek us out because we are unique and boutique. Why should our breakfast be any different?

Big announcement by the British Columbian Government, as they have released statements pertaining to the transition from HST back to the old PST system. They have taken several steps to make purchasing new homes easier from people in British Columbia. See the link below for the release.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Thank you to SheKnows.com for providing this fun bit of Valentine's Day Trivia! I was thinking of writing a poem and sharing it with the world; however, when you're at Wing Creek most of the work is already done for you. Tonight our guests will curl up in their cottages, light a romantic fire, and share a glass of wine in one of the most peaceful settings in the world. So the poem might be a little over the top.

Enjoy!!!

When did it all start?

The National Census released the first of many data streams on Wednesday, February 8th, 2012 and noted that there is a clear trend toward population growth in the Western Provinces. BC's population is growing at a faster pace than the national average. While the large growing communities were largely urban centres, the overall growth rate effects all communities in the province and has created a positive buzz about the real estate industry in BC.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if you need the perfect gift idea, look no further!

Consider a quiet getaway, just the two of you, curled up beside a romantic fire, listening to the snow falling to create a soft magical carpet of solitude all around you. 

Our Romance Package is an easy solution when you want something extra special.
