About this property

Hathaway House on the shores of Hathaway Lake, BC

A beautiful log home looking down onto spectacular views of Lake Hathaway. Access to your own private dock for excellent fishing, swimming, water sports, canoeing or kayaking, or just lazing on shore listening to nature. A flat area to sit and enjoy a small camp fire and enjoy snack or drinks by crackling fire. Both upper and lower decks are partially covered so you have choices on where to sit out no matter the weather. Bring your ATV's and explore miles of trails in untouched wilderness. In winter it is a wonderland of trails for snowmobiling or cross country skiing. Ice fishing is right outside your door. Upstairs of this 3 level home are 2 bedrooms and 1 ensuite. The spacious master bedroom has 1 king size bed while the second bedroom has bunk beds and 1 single bed (sleeps 3) with ensuite. The lower floor has a double futon. The upper deck wraps around 3 sides of the house with 30% under cover. The lower deck faces the lake with stairs to access the fire pit and the lakefront. Parking for 2 vehicles. The perfect get away where you can lay back, relax and just be! Nature is all around you.

Great place to stay. Large space.

Loved the lake and the size of the property. The kitchen could have a few more things (spices, tin foil etc). No stairs down to dock could be problematic if you have a baby or have trouble walking at all. Great lake and loved the canoe.

Great communication

We stayed during the winter season for icefishing and the house was right on the lake which was perfect. We had some issues (not regarding the property) and when I contacted the owner she was able to come out and save our butts! I am truely thankful for her help!

Rustic cabin get away

Beautiful lake, cabin was semi-clean, needs a deep clean. Cabin has a strong, musty mothballs smell( not pleasant in my opinion). For the price that we paid per night, I felt that firewood should be included. We had some cold, rainy days and the inside electric fire sound like it was going to blow up so we had to turn the stove on to warm up the place. Barbeque that they provided was not in good repair and was full of cigarette butts.

Unable to visit due to wildfires

Due to the wildfires in the area and the evacuation alerts/orders in the area, we were unable to visit the property. We waited to see if the orders would be lifted, but they were not. Lynne was most helpful and communicative throughout and kept us informed of the situation. We will rebook and try to visit in the future.

Fall fishing trip

We used the cabin for a fall fishing trip. Our fishing was cut short due to snow but the cabin kept us warm and dry. Thank you Lynne it was a great stay.

Great place for a lakeside holiday

We had a really nice stay here. The place is huge. We're a family of four and we had loads of room. The standout feature for me was the wrap around balcony on the main level. You can barbecue and take in a grand view of the lake from there. My 10 year old really liked the kids room in the basement, and my 12 year old spent a lot of time fishing around the dock. He caught quite a few fish, too. The firepit in the yard was another highlight, and a great place for everyone to go after the sun went down. Communication with the owners was great, although honestly I didn't need to communicate with them about much. Everything went smoothly. The hardest part was finding all the light switches when we moved in. Even that was kind of fun..

Lake Hathaway getaway

Great VRBO! Excellent value in this property! The stairs down to the dock need a little work. The dock is awesome and new. This property and lake is very quite and a great gas station and store is only 15 mins away. If you want a great vacation that’s nice a quiet I recommend you book this wonderful place.

Fun for all ages!

The cabin is cozy and spacious with various areas to sleep in. An added bonus was the kids area downstairs where they could play games and romp around. The lakefront view was spectacular, especially during a couple of thunder storms at night where we would view the lighting under the covered deck. The kids loved hanging out on the dock with two ducks that visited daily. Not to mention catching dragonflies,frogs and fishing for minnows. They even have a canoe that we were able to enjoy. The fish weren’t biting as much as we would have liked but we did manage to have three fish dinners during our one week stay. They were delicious. Best we’ve ever had in fact. We had a few visits from a friendly fox and even caught glimpses of a local bear. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Lynn and Henry. We hope to make it back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Lynne and Henry VanLaarhoven

Host profile image
We are a retired couple with kids and grandkids that visit every year. We retired to the Cariboo because of the rugged beauty, peaceful lifestyle and the wonder of nature. We absolutely love it here!

Why they chose this property

This property is the only private full time residence on Hathaway Lake. The lake has crystal clear water suitable for swimming, boating, fishing, skating in the winter and more. The property is easy to access with paved road all the way but still a private natural wonderland to play in. It is only 4.5-5 hours from the Fraser Valley which is an incredibly beautiful drive through the Fraser Canyon.

What makes this property unique

This home is situated on the hill looking down over the lake with your own private dock for swimming, boating or what have you. The house has been recently renovated and provides 2 huge decks to relax on while watching the kids play. A childs playroom on the lower floor also has a seating area where adults can monitor children while enjoying a view of the lake and wildlife. There is even room for your dog (conditions do apply). This is a peaceful but exciting get away for the whole family.
