Planning a group stay usually starts with a few practical questions. How many people can stay comfortably? Is there enough room to spend time together? What is included and what needs to be arranged separately? And how much coordination will fall to the person organizing the trip?
The Headwaters Private Residences are built around that kind of stay. This guide covers the details worth knowing before you book or start planning with the Eagle Ranch team.
Eagle Ranch has four private residences: Windermere, Shuswap, Purcell and Columbia.
Each accommodates up to ten guests across four bedrooms, with an ensuite for every bedroom. Windermere and Shuswap offer 4,156 square feet of space, while Purcell and Columbia offer 3,808 square feet.
The residences give groups the option to stay under one roof instead of splitting across separate hotel rooms.
Full kitchens, generous living areas, games rooms, large patios and outdoor firepits give everyone somewhere to come back to between rounds, dinners and days in the Valley.
A stay in the Headwaters Private Residences goes beyond handing over the keys and leaving the group to figure out the rest.
Before arrival, the Eagle Ranch team can help arrange tee times, dining reservations and provisions so there is less to organize once the group gets there.
During their stay, residence guests can also make use of available amenities across the Eagle Ranch property, including golf at a daily unlimited rate, dining at Traders Lounge, the sauna, cold plunge, e-bikes and outdoor firepits.
Groups can arrange additional touches before arrival, from curated charcuterie and cheese boards to BBQ provisions, a fully stocked fridge on arrival, chef-prepared picnic lunches, holiday and celebration décor and custom cakes.
The idea is simple: less time coordinating the trip and more time actually spending it together.
No two group stays look quite the same, but the residences tend to work especially well for trips where keeping everyone together matters.
For golf groups, the appeal is straightforward. Everyone stays together, the course is close and the group has somewhere to settle in after the final round of the day. The Eagle Ranch team can also help coordinate tee times before the trip.
Corporate and executive groups can use multiple residences to keep the group close while still giving people room to spread out. Flexible clubhouse space can support meetings or structured sessions, with the residences giving the group a quieter place to reconnect afterwards.
For reunions, Thanksgiving weekends, celebrations and family gatherings, the value is often the shared space itself. People can cook together, gather around the table, spend the evening outside and still retreat to their own bedrooms when they want some space.
The common thread is simple. The group wants to spend more time together without making one person responsible for every detail of the trip.
A private residence gives your group the space to settle in together for the weekend, while Traders Lounge can take care of Thanksgiving dinner.
Stay together at Headwaters, spend the day at your own pace and gather at Traders for a special Thanksgiving meal without having to plan, prep or clean up afterwards.
The residences sit on the Eagle Ranch property in Invermere, close to both the golf course and Traders Lounge.
When the group wants to head farther afield, Lake Windermere, Radium Hot Springs and the wider Columbia Valley are all within reach.
The Eagle Ranch team can also help with local recommendations and coordination when you are planning time away from the resort.
You can check availability and book online or contact the Eagle Ranch team directly if your stay needs a little more planning.
