Rainbow Lodge is the largest cabin at Nimpo Lake Resort, offering generous space for groups, families and small retreats. With multiple bedrooms and shared living areas, it’s designed for people who want to stay together without feeling crowded.
Set on an elevated, central spot within the resort, the lodge overlooks Nimpo Lake with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water. From this higher vantage point, the lake opens up in front of you, offering wide, uninterrupted views throughout the day. The building’s scale makes it comfortable to gather, cook, eat, and relax together under one roof.
Inside, Rainbow Lodge is practical, comfortable and welcoming. It’s well-suited to extended family stays, fishing groups, or small team getaways where time together matters more than luxury details.
A spacious lodge for groups who want room to gather, share meals and settle in by the lake.

On the waterfront
Rainbow Lodge sits at the centre of the Nimpo Lake Resort property, elevated enough to look out over the lake without losing the feeling of being right at the water’s edge. The floor-to-ceiling windows face the lake directly, so you wake up to the water every morning without stepping outside. The deck off the main level extends that view outward — a good place for coffee in the morning or a drink at the end of the day when the light goes low and orange across Nimpo Lake.
The shared resort dock is a short walk from the lodge, giving easy access to the water for fishing, paddling, or just sitting at the edge of the lake. Canoes are available to borrow on-site. The surrounding West Chilcotin landscape — open plateau, mountain ranges, and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park to the west — gives the group something to do every day of the stay, whether that’s on the water or overland.
Made for groups
Rainbow Lodge works well for the kind of trip where the group wants to stay together rather than scatter across separate cabins. With five bedrooms across two levels, a full kitchen, a proper dining area, and shared living space, there’s enough room for everyone to be comfortable without getting in each other’s way. Meals cooked together, evenings by the wood stove, and mornings with the lake out the window — the lodge is set up for that kind of stay.
It’s a popular booking for extended family trips, fishing groups travelling together, and small company retreats where being under the same roof matters. The in-suite laundry is a practical bonus on longer stays, and the BBQ and deck give the group an outdoor option when the weather is good.
