High Country Inn, motel and lodge

High Country Inn sits in Likely, near Quesnel Lake, and is offered as a 100% share sale with all inventory, furniture and equipment included.

Twelve guest rooms, each with an ensuite, all fitted with new beds in 2025. The income underneath them is an annual corporate lease, renewable, which is what produces the stated average cap rate of 10.96% — the trade does not depend on tourists finding the town.

The restaurant on site has a full commercial kitchen and a 50-seat dining room, open to the public, with steady demand from forestry, mining and wildfire crews, plus takeout and off-site catering.

The building is concrete block under a metal roof, about 11,184 square feet, holding the guest lodging, a two-bay garage and shop, and a manager’s residence of three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a sunroom looking over the lake and the mountains.

Services are self-contained and worth reading closely for a remote property: water drawn from a natural stream into a collection pond and cistern, then multi-stage filtration and UV sanitisation; five septic tanks and a large drainage field; electric baseboards and a propane furnace; 400-amp service with a 24 kW backup generator; and Telus Fibre, Starlink and Shaw Cable for communications.

Quesnel Lake is the deepest freshwater fjord lake in BC and among the deepest in the world, and draws trophy fishing and backcountry recreation year-round. Likely has a school, a general store with fuel and a post office, and sits about 84 km off Highway 97 on paved road.
