Preparing for a winter tour at Ice Creek Lodge.
Simply put, I love Ice Creek Lodge. It’s a deeply soulful place. The lodge is comfortable without being fussy and has a handmade feel to it, from the steelwork throughout to the concrete kitchen counter – a labour of love in the best sense of the word.
