Best rental cabin on Tyaughton lake!!

We had a wonderful stay at the trailhead! We have stayed at other cabins on the lake in the past, and by far this was the best. The home and property was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Alan was an excellent host and was easy to communicate with. We loved our time here making memories and we look forward to our return back next summer!

Awesome property!

Our family stayed at the cabin for a week and had a wonderful time. The cabin is super clean and Alan provides plenty of the staples, all you need to bring is food. The property itself is beautiful with a wonderful private dock on the lake. We caught plenty of fish! Alan provided a lot of information prior to the trip which really helped. He made himself available the entire time and was just a text/email away but also did a great job of giving us our space and allowing us to just relax and enjoy the property and location. Highly recommend this rental!! Thanks again Alan!!!

Biking/hiking chilcotins

Alan‘s property was perfect for what we are doing. The location was great. Had everything we needed in the house. Alans directions were excellent as we had a flat tire and his resources helped. We will definitely rebook if we go back to the Chilcotins.

Exactly what we needed!

My family and sister's family had the pleasure of staying at Trailhead Cabin. 10/10! Alan was so helpful and always available to clarify with the booking. He thought of everything; boardgames, cards, fully functional kitchen with sharp knives and heated floors, foosball table, canoe...Enjoyed the deck, the yard and of course the dock. It was heaven.

Wonderful experience!!!

First of all, we would like to thank Mr. Alan for allowing us to enjoy such a beautiful property. We weren't sure at first if we were going to like it. However, we were beautifully surprised on waking up the morning following our arrival!!!! We loved the feel of the house and even more the lake. Enjoy the sight of deer, hares, birds and even a little snake 😬 around the property... we enjoy canoeing to our hearts content around the lake!! We loved that the house and its front backyard keep their privacy enjoying the lake. Overall, our group is counting the days until we'll be able to go back!!!! Would recommend to everyone who would like to isolate and enjoy nature and quietness for a while!!! Please go prepared with enoug provisions for your stay!!!
