10 acres of untouched beauty! Extremely private with 100’s of acres of crown land on one side & a neighbour with 10 acres on the other. The lake is Caribbean blueish green & clear as glass. There are miles of trails to hike, 4x4, wild forage, or hunt in season. There are a couple other lakes nearby as well as the Fraser River & the Big Bar Ferry. Highly recommend!! One of our favourites is the Jesmond Fire Lookout. It requires a 4x4 vehicle or physical ability to complete a couple hour hike! We are a bit biased but our place is a very special one of a kind spot!

Yurt is paused for rentals as we await a new roof!
Only the Cabin available for now.
Welcome to 28 acres of forests, mountains, creeks, a river and all that comes with it!
We live in a little off-grid cabin deep in the Yalakom Valley in a small community of rustic-living and friendly folks. Please note that this property is located 40 km outside of Lillooet. Part of the road is a dirt road and a bit bumpy, best for cars that don't mind roughing it a little bit. You also lose service 5 minutes outside of Lillooet. The property is surrounded by private lots. You can explore ours down to the river or you can drive to other locations like the Horsehoe (a great swim spot), Carpenter Lake (great for swimming, too), Lac La Mere (good for fishing), Carol Lake, and much more.
This is a somewhat rustic and rugged spot- if you are looking for fancy glamping this is not the space for you! Vancouverites, you've been warned!

Secure parking for one vehicle completes your tranquil escape. Book a yurt today for a harmonious blend of nature, comfort, and seclusion.
Although some of the photos on this listing posted by guests have kayaks and paddleboards, you will need to bring your own - they are not provided due to liability and insurance issues - we're sorry about that.

We look forward to hosting you!

We are a diverse 4-season guest ranch that focuses on providing a wilderness adventure. Enjoy the break from cell phone service and television as you explore the area. Hiking, biking and horse-riding trails start right from the property so you are always close to a new wilderness experience. Or get involved with our ranch-based activities such as horseback riding, riding lessons for kids, archery and hiking to make the most of your time at the ranch. Visiting our animals or watching the local wildlife roam in our horse pasture is a great way to get back to basics and enjoy ranch life. In the winter you can ice-fish or explore the area on snowshoes or cross-country skiing.
Trails in and out of South Chilcotin Mountain Park lead right to our ranch, making it an ideal spot to begin your adventure or rest before heading home. You’re welcome to leave your car here during your backcountry stay.
Contact us for more information on Work Crew Stays.
Staying with us you accept the following:
Our ranch is on Gun Lake Road, close to Tyax Lake, 30 minutes from Gold Bridge and Bralorne. It is about 2 hours west of Lillooet or north of Pemberton (6 hours from Vancouver) on a remote road with paved and gravel sections and no cell service.
There is no cell service or TV at our location. Wi‑Fi is usually available but cannot be guaranteed due to weather and other natural factors outside our control. We have access to a landline if urgent calls need to be made.
You are responsible for leaving the cabin/your room and the area around it clean and free of food and garbage. Each guest is responsible for cleaning the cabins when they leave, such as doing the laundry, washing all dishes. At the end of your stay, please bring all garbage to the main house so we do not attract critters and bears.
We live in a true wilderness environment. The cabin water system uses filtered creek water and, though not common, there is always the possibility for water pressure to fluctuate.
Weather and other variables can change quickly in the mountains. We expect guests to approach challenges with a positive, solution‑oriented mindset and to be respectful of nature, other guests and our team. We are experienced in dealing with nature’s challenges and will find a solution together.

Weekend Trip to Deep Mountain Sea Cabin
Great spot in a quiet, peaceful location with beautiful views to wake up to. We planned to do more but ended up mostly chilling around the cabin (highly recommend the outside daybed!) and walking my dog to the river. Ren was really accommodating for my reactive dog, left the lights on for us as we were arriving late and provided some yummy home grown vegetables. Would love to stay again!

I love the place , my family enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. The site was very spacious for a big family.
Ms. Katie was very accommodating and response quickly to my inquiries.
The only thing disappoints us was our fellow campers near the lake, they were not respectful about quiet time they were shouting and singing loud with their loud music until 2am for 2nights. They even had bonfire even if there is a FIRE-BAN during the 2nd night.
But over all we enjoyed our stay and will come back again.

We had such an amazing time at Anderson Lake! The Yurt was cozy and comfortable, the outdoor kitchen made cooking so easy and scenic, and the property was absolutely breathtaking! It is totally worth the drive and such a cool way to experience the area! Absolutely book the sauna, and bring your paddle boards if you can! Can’t wait to come back next year! :)

Amazing location and beautiful views! I really loved the covered area since I was tenting it provided great shade during the heat wave. Coming from out of province it was a bonus they offer firewood! Due to the heat wave didn't need alot but the crate was enough for a little fire each night I was there. Hosts were very help! Had a minor issue with a neighbour and their dog being loose and roaming my site. Where my dog is reactive I wanted to avoid any issues and she responded immediately and contact the neighbours which I was very greatful for!

Weekend Trip to Lake Glamping with Beach and Sauna
We had a wonderful stay at Anderson Lake. The yurts are beautiful, spotless, and well organized. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful getaway, and the lake itself is absolutely stunning.
A few important tips before you go:
• You must have an off-road vehicle — ideally 4WD or AWD. A sedan will not make it.
• After navigating the rough road, you’ll park and then hike down a narrow path to your yurt. Carrying luggage, coolers, and gear can be challenging, as we had to make multiple trips.
• The lake is about a 5–6 minute hike down from the yurts.
• There are only two yurts on site. If the other one isn’t booked, you’ll be alone in the forest and campground — which might feel too isolated for some.
Overall, it’s a beautiful and unique experience with plenty of hiking involved. Just be prepared for the physical effort, and you’ll have an unforgettable stay

Our family had a great stay at Katie and Melissa's place. We stayed in the Woods site which is nice and spacious for our two tents. The running water was a bonus.
The lake is absolutely blissful. The kids had so much fun on the paddle boat and kayaks. Despite being full, there was no issue with space to hang out down at the water.
We'd love to come again!

What a fantastic glamping spot! We had a great time and were so happy that our dogs could be off-leash and enjoy the semi-private beach. The lake is crystal clear and the whole vibe is incredibly tranquil. The site is well-maintained, the dry pit is clean, and the outdoor shower with hot water was a highlight. The solar power for basic lighting worked perfectly.
For future improvements, a portable fan would be a huge help, especially on hot summer nights, as it got a bit too warm inside the yurt. We also found that cooking inside wasn't realistic; the detached kitchen on the other yurt is a smart design.
Be warned about the roads! An AWD vehicle is a must from either D'Arcy or Lilooet, as some slopes are steep. The beach is a short walk away, but it's a 70m altitude change, which is tough with gear like a paddleboard. Lastly, be prepared for biting flies, which are naturally occurring and not a reflection of cleanliness.
Thanks for a memorable stay!

Weekend Trip to Lake Glamping with Beach and Sauna
Our stay on Anderson Lake was incredible! The Yurt was super cozy and cute. We enjoyed a fire in the yurt and late nights star gazing from bed while we watched Harry Potter. The lake is so clear and blue which was perfect for swimming the day away and kayaking, and when we weren’t in the water, we were lounging on the beach in the sun. Plus the sauna took our trip to another level! This was such a lovely getaway, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with so much privacy during our stay. Propane fire was available to buy and the outdoor kitchen came with pretty much everything you’d need. The only thing to note is that the drive in to the Yurt was definitely a little scary at times (I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving in a 2WD) and the walk from the parking lot to the yurt and the walk from the yurt to the beach were mini hikes in their own right! Short walks but steep. Totally worth the effort though, would come back.

This place was amazing! When I first arrived, I had the whole area to myself — I spent the afternoon reading at the end of the dock and playing fetch with my dog. As I was cooking dinner, a few other groups arrived. We were all spread out with plenty of privacy, but it was also nice to chat with a few fellow campers.
The site was spotless, and the outhouses we’re clean and well ventilated. I really enjoyed disconnecting and being offline, but just a heads-up: there’s virtually no cell service on-site, so make sure you’re prepared for that.
All in all, a peaceful and memorable stay. Highly recommend!

We loved Katie’s campground. It was so serene and beautiful! The lake was swimmable, the bugs were minimal and the water toys were so fun to get to utilize! Everything was clean and well marked! Katie’s communication sealed the deal as she was kind and so helpful when I made errors in booking etc! We would love to make it a yearly trip!

We enjoyed “the lookout”. Planning to book “the knoll” next time, so our dog can stay in the water as long as she wants! Sites were quite private, washing water supply was handy, directions were easy. Overall would book again. Thanks Katie and Melissa!

I loved this place so much. It’s remote and wild, yet totally charming and comfortable. I was looking for a nature experience and considered camping, but I wanted electricity and wifi to get some work done — this gave me all that and SO much more. Great soaking tub, private back deck, full kitchen, and the best host ever! Ren was respectful of my privacy and also made me feel so welcome in this amazing place, bringing me treats from the beautiful garden and showing me around this very special land. I hope to make it back again!
