Beautiful place and a beautiful lake!

We loved swimming in the clear water off the dock and laying in the sun in the dock. The cabin itself is gorgeous and spacious. We liked being so close to Reynolds’s Resort. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Carl Meadows

My husband (Les) and I (Carl), love the simple things in life. We are also the proud parents of our Boston Terrier named Rocky. While we love to travel, we also love spending time at our homes in Penticton, Puerto Vallarta Mexico and Canim Lake. We are both nature lovers and foodies. We believe that it isn't important what you own in this life, it is the memories and the special times with friends and families that matter. We love sharing our special places with other people, and it is so wonderful when guests have stayed at our vacation homes and remark about feeling like they have come home.

Why they chose this property

Canim Lake is the largest lake in the South Cariboo region of BC. It is very unique, as most of the lake is surrounded by Crown land with old growth forests. This cottage is conveniently located close to Reynolds Resort where you can do boat rentals and they have a small convenience store. This property has 211 feet of private beach with Canim's trademark small pebbles. Up from the cottage is Greenlee Lake which is a trophy fishing lake for Kokanee and Rainbow trout.

What makes this property unique

This Cottage is very unique. It has three different porches, all with different vibes. Within the cottage itself there is the main wood fireplace with 18 Foot ceilings and gorgeous views of Canim Lake. The main level of the home is described as cozy yet spacious. Sitting by the Bonfire at night and roasting marshmallows is a favourite pastime. During the winter season the home is popular during the Ice Fishing season and for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy X-Country Skiing or snow shoeing.
