Sometimes the Best Getaways Are Right in Your Own Backyard
Discover a little lakeside escape at Timothy Lake in BC's Cariboo.
When was the last time you took a little vacation close to home?
Not a big trip with weeks of planning, long drives, or packed itineraries. Just a few days away from the everyday routine, somewhere you can slow down, relax, and enjoy a change of scenery.
Living in the Cariboo, we're pretty fortunate to have so many beautiful places right in our own backyard. But sometimes it's the places closest to home that we overlook.
Timothy Lake is one of those places.
Tucked away near Lac la Hache, Timothy Lake is a peaceful little escape where days are spent on the water, evenings are enjoyed around a campfire, and there's no pressure to be anywhere in particular.
A Different Kind of Weekend
Imagine waking up in a cozy lakeside cabin, making your morning coffee, and stepping outside to the sound of loons calling across the lake.
Maybe you spend the morning fishing for rainbow trout or kokanee salmon. The afternoon might involve a swim, a paddle around the lake, or simply relaxing in a chair with a good book.
And when evening comes, there's nothing quite like sitting around a campfire, watching the sun go down, and enjoying time with your favourite people.
No complicated plans. No rushing from one activity to the next.
Just a few days of lake life.
You Don't Have to Travel Far to Feel Like You're Away
For those living in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel, Lac la Hache, and surrounding Cariboo communities, getting away doesn't necessarily mean leaving the region.
Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery.
At Martens Resort, we welcome families, couples, and friends who come to enjoy the simple things: swimming, boating, fishing, campfires, and spending time together.
Whether it's a weekend in one of our lakeside cabins or a few nights camping with family and friends, there's something refreshing about stepping away from everyday life, even if you're not far from home.
And with less time spent travelling, there's more time to actually enjoy your getaway.
Thinking about a little getaway? Take a look at our lakeside cabins or explore our RV and camping options.
Maybe It's Time to Play Tourist in Your Own Backyard
We often hear about people travelling across BC to experience the beauty of the Cariboo.
And for good reason.
But if you're lucky enough to live here already, why not make a little time to enjoy it yourself?
Plan that weekend away you've been talking about. Bring the kids for a few days at the lake. Get together with friends you haven't seen in a while. Or escape for a quiet weekend with someone special.
You don't need a special occasion or a big vacation budget to make some wonderful memories.
Sometimes a couple of days at the lake is all you need.
Your Next Little Getaway Is Waiting
So, Cariboo locals, when was the last time you were a tourist in your own backyard?
Whether you're looking for a peaceful weekend away or a few fun-filled days with family, we'd love to welcome you to Martens Resort on Timothy Lake.
Bring your favourite people, leave the busy schedules behind, and come enjoy a little lake life.
Ready to plan your next lakeside escape?
We hope to see you at the lake!
