Pondosy Bay Wilderness Resort

Off-grid cabins on Big Eutsuk Lake, in Cheslatta territory. The published season is 1 June to 7 September.

Feel

The place

The shore

Log cabins with green roofs sit in the trees above the beach. A dock holds boats, and a float plane is moored there in the photograph.

A cabin

A log cabin with a small porch, a chimney for the wood stove, and the lake behind the trees. The porch is set up for cooking outside.

On the lake

Fishing is the day they advertise. This frame is a guest in an aluminum boat with a trout, a net, and fuel aboard.

The water

Taken from a boat: still water, forested slopes, and snow on the ridges. This is the view the rentals are for.

From a porch

The beach, the dock, and the float plane, seen from the steps of a cabin, with a snowy peak past the trees.

After dark

A fire pit in the trees, with the resort name cut into the metal. Chairs around it. No restaurant, no programme.

Our read

A Cheslatta Carrier Nation resort of off-grid cabins on Big Eutsuk Lake. The comfort is a wood stove and a shared shower, not a spa, and the day is the lake.

Come here for

  • People who want to fish a lake with no town around it
  • Guests who will cook, bring bedding, and use a shared shower house
  • A plan that includes arranging a boat or a float plane

Skip it if

  • You want a restaurant, a spa, or a road to the door
  • You need a cabin rate printed before you open their calendar
  • You want meals and a guide. Those are marked coming soon on their site, not offered now

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Pondosy Bay is a Cheslatta Carrier Nation resort on the shore of Big Eutsuk Lake, inside a BC Park. The cabins are off-grid. The season on their booking calendar runs from 1 June to 7 September: arrive at 3:00 PM, leave by 10:00 AM. Guests bring bedding, soap, towels, and garbage bags, and take their garbage when they go. They name bear, moose, loons, wolves, beavers, and caribou as the animals of the place. A helicopter pad is for emergency evacuation, not a way in.
