Inspection summary

High Country Inn has been inspected 3 times by Interior Health Authority since June 20, 2023. The most recent inspection, on April 15, 2025, found no infractions.

2 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing and Protecting food from contamination.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on May 23, 2024. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on May 23, 2024. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

    We ventured out to Likely last week and happened upon the High Country Inn for lunch. Our lunch was delicious with obviously “homemade” burgers. The service was excellent and we so appreciated the recommendation to travel to nearby Quesnel Flats. What a fascinating place. Our guest from Ottawa even got to see a beautiful bear! What a beautiful part of BC.

    The staff was super easy to talk too over the phone. I sent a crew up there recently. One guy said it was one of the nicest places hes ever stayed! The guys were very well fed which was great as they were working hard (3 meals). Great cooking, never had such good ribs before! Thanks again!

    I've stayed at a couple of places in the area for work but the High Country Inn has been the most comfortable stay. The rooms stay nice and cool in the 30 degree + weather and the beds are comfortable. The rooms also have satellite TV and good wi-fi, which has been hard to come by at past accommodations. It's also a huge bonus that each room has its own bathroom, as several other places have shared bathrooms. On top of all of this, the owners Mike and Tanya have been great. They are very friendly and helpful. Whenever guests speak to Mike, he will end the conversation with "let me know if you need anything". Mike has been great at accommodating dietary intolerances for my coworkers as well. The location is great for those looking to fish or boat on Quesnel Lake and learn about the history of the area. I would 100% recommend this place to others!

    I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else but here in the entire Cariboo Regional District. I have some severe food allergies and Mike was extremely accommodating and made sure that I was taken care of. The level of hospitality and accommodation at this establishment sets a high standard. I'm very grateful to have stayed at the Inn and would recommend it to anyone.

    Greeted with a huge smile and a warm small town welcome, which included conversation and time spent answering our questions about the hotel and the region. High Country Inn, mostly used by loggers in the off season was recently purchased by a lovely couple who are bringing the hotel's charm back. ||||The room although simple, is clean and has everything you need for a pleasant stay, including a fridge and lots of hot water in the shower. It is on the same road as Cedar Point Park which has (boat) access to Quesnel Lake. ||||*Note: the water from the room is not potable but they give you bottled water and you can get additional bottles from the restaurant/kitchen (no charge.). ||||*Note: cell phones do not work in Likely so having wifi at the hotel is great. ||||*Note: the restaurant is only open for breakfast
