Set on 2.6 wooded acres in the Cariboo lakes country, this 1978 Lindal Cedar Home sits directly across the road from Sulphurous Lake — a spring-fed, artesian-fed body of water known as the fourth-clearest lake in British Columbia. A short walk takes you down to the public day-use site, where there's a swimming bay, a cartopper boat launch, and picnic tables tucked into the trees.
The lake holds five species worth knowing — kokanee salmon and rainbow trout are stocked annually, with lake trout and burbot in the deeper water, and native northern pikeminnow throughout. The burbot are caught through the ice in winter.
Lake trout: daily quota of one fish under 50 cm; catch-and-release October–November. A BC freshwater licence is required — see the FAQ for current regs.
The property sits in a pocket of Crown Land — public backcountry runs along the east side of the cabin and continues behind it, with the eastern reach of Rainbow/Q'iwentem Provincial Park wrapping the far shore of the lake. Step off the deck into forest. Hunters step from the porch into open season for deer, black bear, and grouse.
The cabin sits on Mahood Lake Road — the same road that runs north into the southwestern entrance of Wells Gray Provincial Park. Roughly an hour's drive up the road takes you to Mahood Lake itself, with three waterfalls (Mahood, Canim, and Deception) all under 30 minutes from the campground.
Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a recently updated kitchen with new cabinets and full appliances. The covered porch is for morning coffee; the back deck is for the BBQ and a quiet sunset over the water.
Everything you need for a slow weekend or a long stay — kitchen, deck, BBQ, and the trails just beyond.
Layered with art, lamp light, leather, and the quiet of cedar walls.
Deep couches, big windows, evening light through the cedars.
Second seating area for cards, a book, or another conversation.
Long table, big windows pulling in afternoon light.
Updated cabinets, full appliances. Everything for a real dinner.
Tucked off the kitchen — washer & dryer for long stays.
Queen bed, fresh linens, soft light through the cedars.
Modern fixtures, cedar ceiling. Full shower.
Second queen, tucked off the main living space. Quieter at night.
The Cariboo sits far enough north that the aurora reaches us here — pink, green, dancing curtains of light on the clearest, coldest nights of the year. No light pollution, no neighbours' porch bulbs. Just the lake, the trees, and the show overhead.
Embrace the slow rhythm of cabin life. Bask in the morning glow of Cariboo skies. Fish at first light, paddle board, or simply breathe in the mountain air. Retreat to the deck for a cookout, sink into an Adirondack on the porch, watch the sun fall behind the trees after a great day of ice fishing — or just let the evening unfold under a sky full of stars.
Rates shift with the calendar — the lake gets busy in July, and the trails go quiet in February. Stay a week and the price drops; long weekends and holidays carry a small supplement.
All rates exclude the $85 cleaning fee and refundable $200 damage deposit. Direct-book pricing — no platform service fees. Holidays & long weekends carry a $30/night supplement on any tier.

Public day-use site with swimming bay, cartopper boat launch, and picnic tables. Foxes work the shore at dawn.
Crown Land runs along the east side of the property and continues behind it — thousands of acres of public backcountry to hike, hunt, snowshoe. Foxes, deer, moose, and black bear all pass through. Photos courtesy of the neighbours.
