Yan Kee Way Lodge

Fly fishers can rejoice, as there are special packages available for this very activity at the Yan Kee Way Lodge. Accommodations consist of private chalets, bungalows and regular hotel rooms. The thinking behind the architectural design is to bring the outdoors in, as local woods were used to construct a series of exposed beams and various furniture items, and volcanic rock was used in the building of the fireplaces. Guests rave about the Lodge's restaurant and the property is also privy to a wine tasting "cave," a cigar bar and scenic lake overlooks.
