A real lake experience

Remote enough to feel like an escape. Supported enough to relax.

This is a genuine overnight on the ice—not a themed hotel room. The shelter is heated and equipped, the lake is wide open, and support stays close by while you enjoy the space as your own.

Comfort where it matters

Wild everywhere else.

The best part is not just the fishing. It is the silence after sunset, the huge sky, the chance of northern lights, and waking up in a place most people only visit for a few hours.

Real fish. Real winter. The kind of story people keep telling.

Good to know

Before you head onto the ice.

Do I have to fish?

No. The Winter Night Stay is a separate stay-only experience. You can book it simply to get away and spend a night somewhere memorable.

How many people can sleep in the shelter?

Up to four guests can sleep comfortably in the overnight setup.

What is included with the stay-only booking?

The heated shelter, cots or beds, sleeping bags or bedding, cooking equipment, power, and a basic toilet setup are included.

What is different about the guided overnight?

The $850 Overnight Fishing Adventure is a fully guided fishing experience built around the same warm overnight basecamp. The $325 Winter Night Stay is the shelter experience without guided fishing.

Where are the overnight setups located?

Overnight setups are offered at Sturgeon Lake, Snipe Lake, and Lesser Slave Lake. Availability at each lake depends on current ice, weather, and access conditions.

Can I book a guided trip without staying overnight?

Yes. Guided Day Fishing Trips are available by request. Send your dates, preferred lake, group details, and target species to receive trip options and pricing.

Will Jesse be close by?

For stay-only bookings, the plan is for Jesse to remain nearby so support is close without taking over your group's space.

Are northern lights guaranteed?

No—weather and sky conditions decide that. When they do appear, you will be in a pretty remarkable place to see them.

Request your dates

Start with a booking request.

Tell Jesse which experience and lake you prefer, your dates, and who is coming. Your spot is confirmed only after written approval and the 25% deposit.

01

Deposit and cancellations

A 25% deposit confirms the reservation. Cancel at least seven full calendar days before arrival for a deposit refund. If Jesse cancels for unsafe ice, weather, equipment failure or another safety reason, choose a full refund or free rescheduling.

02

Minors

Guests 16 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Every guest under 18 needs guardian consent and paperwork. An unaccompanied 17-year-old also requires advance approval.

Expensive equipment

Normal wear, lost hooks and ordinary accidental rod breakage are not charged. Guests may be invoiced for reasonable repair or fair depreciated replacement cost when expensive gear is damaged by intentional or reckless conduct, misuse, unauthorized operation or ignoring a clear instruction.

Serious risk notice

Lake travel, winter weather, remote overnight stays, heaters, vehicles and fishing equipment can cause serious injury, permanent disability or death. Every adult must review and sign a separate participant waiver before taking part. Guardian paperwork is required for minors.
