Welcome to the cabins at Wendego Lodge on Tranquille Lake. Enjoy your 100% off-grid, rustic cabin in the middle of the BC wilderness. You are right on the lake with beautiful views and may see bald eagles, osprey and moose. This is an all-season property: swimming, boating, hiking and quadding in the SUMMER, hunting in the FALL, and ice fishing, snowmobiling (100s of km of trail right from your door) in the WINTER. All year long fish for natural rainbow trout and Kokanee. This is a rustic 100% off-grid experience! There is no electricity in the cabins and cold running water in the summer. SLEEPING: The cabin has two bedrooms separated by curtains from the living space and features: One queenTwo single bunksOne double futon HEATING/COOKING:There is a wood stove for heat and cooking and wood is supplied and cold running water in the summer months. A wood burning BBQ is available for use and a huge upright smoker for your fish haul (bring your own propane cylinder). BATHROOMS: There are no bathrooms in the cabin. Flush toilets and hot showers are available in the wash house steps away in the summer and in the lodge in the other months. ELECTRICITY: The cabins have no electricity. Please bring your own lanterns and flashlights. WATER FUN: The cabin is RIGHT ON THE WATER and in the summer we have dock for jumping off of or launching a boat. We have kayaks, floaties and paddle boards available on a first come first served basis. Boat rental with 6.5 HP motor also available for $99 a day. Ice fishing is excellent in the winter. WE PROVIDE: dishes, cups, mugs, cutlery, cooking pots and some utensils. YOU NEED TO BRING: whatever you need for sleeping (bags or blankets and sheets, pillows), food, drinking water, and personal items such as towels and toiletries. Firewood and water (from the lake) for washing is provided. There is no fridge so you will need to bring a cooler with ice for your perishables. Town is an hour away. CHECK-OUT: Please leave the cabin clean and tidy and pack out all your garbage and left-over food. ACCESS: We are located 50 km down a logging road and we advise access only by 4-wheel drive vehicles although many cars have made it in the summer. In the winter, access is an ice road. Drivable but slippery. We request that you call/email when you hit the gravel road 50 km away so we know when to expect you. You have access to the lodge property, lake, dock, trails, grass area and kayaks/floaties/paddle boards when available. Pets welcome with a $35 per pet per stay fee.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely loved our stay at Wendego Lodge! The sauna is a must-try — it made swimming so much more enjoyable, especially since the lodge is higher up and evenings can get chilly. (Tip: bring some warm clothes for the night!) The whole experience was so close to nature, peaceful and refreshing. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and we have to say — their sourdough bread is delicious, a real treat! We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Charming Cabin, Wonderful Hosts!

We stayed at Wendego Lodge for one night and had a wonderful experience. Our group of six stayed in a cozy cabin with three beds, which was clean, spacious, and charmingly organized. The common fire area was a highlight, perfect for relaxing and spending time together. The views were absolutely stunning, and the lake and grounds were beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t get a chance to use the sauna, but it looked great and well-maintained. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing getaway in nature!

The place is really extraordinary, I haven't ever been in such before. I was afraid of the road, but there was no danger. it's good to call before you come to be sure what is the condition of the road In case there is a lot of rains it could be muddy. Ray is a fantastic host, very helpful. You can feel very free there. Cabins are clean. The only thing I would add are the mosquito nets in windows.

Wendego lodge was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. We even ended up staying an extra night. Hosts are so welcoming, good fishing, and our personal favourite was the sauna. We will back for sure!

This is a truly special spot. The owners are warm, thoughtful people who go out of their way to ensure everyone is well looked after. The setting is stunning, right across from a beautiful lake, with kayaking, paddle boarding, motor boating, and even a serene sauna experience with lake views. I was on a long road trip to the Yukon and a bit anxious about the off-road drive ahead. Ray generously offered to help if I ran into trouble—an incredibly kind gesture that has stuck with me. This place sparked something creative in me—I even began writing a short story here. It’s the kind of place that inspires you to slow down and reconnect. Excellent value for what you get. I'd absolutely return—and highly recommend it to anyone!

Beautiful rustic cabin. Best rustic cabin experience in BC in my opinion. Added bonus of hot showers and very clean washrooms. Under new ownership, but great new owners very attentive to Detail. The cabin has everything you need. Very comfortable beds and mattresses. We use the kayak compatible boards all were fantastic

Fabulous property, amazing hosts and truly a hospitable experience! Just what we needed when we travelled to this off the grid to end our summer series of escapes. A charming cottage, wood cook stove, waterfront and an easy escape. Don’t let the 40k on a dirt road scare you, 30k on a well maintained Forrest service road, last 10k was a bit more challenging but we made it with our 16 foot boat trailer without incident. Loved the fishing, the hosts and generally had an easy experience. Even some wifi for our off grid teenager.
