A very remote, tranquil log cabin fishing camp hand-built in the 1960's. Akehurst Lake Wilderness Resort is only accessible by ATV (snowmobile in winter) or by foot (a 9-minute walk from the parking lot). There is no public access to the lake so it is wonderfully private & peaceful. We offer 5 cabins in total with some areas suitable for tents. There is a day-lodge with a kitchen and eating area for guest's use, kayaks, row boats, and a paddle board free for use as well as a wood-fired sauna! The lake is excellent for swimming. It is feet-friendly, shallow, and has no sudden drop-offs. And if you like to hike, fish or BOTH then this is the place for you. There are many nearby lakes that are a short drive/ride and hike away! Akehurst Lake does not have cell service or wifi. Lights are made possible by a gas generator in the evening. There is only cold running water in the day-lodge sink which is seasonal and depends on if the creek is running. Guests should be comfortable being in the woods and aware that if no one else is there, they will need to light the stove and fridge and operate the generator if needed. **Packing List** - Bedding (sheets & blankets or sleeping bag. Pillow covers) - Extra pillows (we provide 2 per cabin. Ask if more are available before arrival) - Towel/face cloth - Dish cloth & Dish towels - Paper towel/napkins - Toilet rolls - Lighter for fires (if applicable). Ours tend to all go missing or stop working - Flashlight - Drinking water - Cooler & ice You are welcome to create your own outdoor kitchen at your cabin, but we do ask you to be mindful of removing items from the day lodge that those using the kitchen might be counting on. ***We cannot stress this enough**: This is very remote. It is truly another world up there and we cannot be there at all times so it is a good idea to have some knowledge and experience in off-grid/backcountry living!

Rustic Wilderness Resort Akehurst

We enjoyed our stay in cabin #1! We used the sauna and took quick dips in the lake, went kayaking, went to Emery lake and to the lookout. We met campers from France, Vancouver and Mexico and had fun sharing about our travels. The shared cabin was fully equipped and cozy. Amy, the owner is very accommodating and nice, and we loved her big friendly dog. Travel light, because there is a walk down the trail to the cabins, but don't forget, toilet paper, blankets and sleeping bags!

Cabin 5 at Rustic Wilderness Resort

Amy is a fantastic host and Akehurst Lake is a beautiful place! We took advantage of everything they are offering - kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, and spending time in the sauna. The cabin was cozy yet comfortable for 4 adults and a dog. It was clean, and easy to tidy up at the end of our stay. We cooked our meals in the shared day lodge, it is fully stocked with kitchen equipment, has a propane stove, a fridge and a large table to eat at. We also enjoyed meeting the other guests around the fire in the evening. We had a blast and would love to return!

Cabin 2 at Rustic Wilderness Resort

Cozy as can be!

The cabins are super cute and the set up works great. The common area is very well equipped, from pots and pans to paddle boards and kayaks. Clean and quiet space, great for a date night or even a group trip. It rained the next morning, so we had the chance to have our coffee in the patio of the common space and it was beautiful. The set up works for any weather! And having access to hot water was a bonus considering the campfire ban.
