Notes from the host
Lakefront with Dock & Great Fishing
Ice is gone! Kokanee are HUNGRY!
Rustic log cabin on popular Deka Lake! Clean and cozy, this 4bdrm/2bath gem of a house has a huge front deck where you can sit in the evening and enjoy the water views. Have dinner on the deck in any weather under the gazebo, and behind the mosquito netting (in case of mosquitoes!) Sit by the firepit or sit on the dock and enjoy the pristine waters of Deka Lake.
Beds for 9, plus we do have a spare single mattress and a blowup queen mattress if you need it. One bedroom on main floor (no stairs), three more upstairs.
Fireplace is propane - no lugging wood in when you get in late from hunting! The yard is large and mostly flat - perfect for bocce, horseshoes, or hanging out by the fire pit. Everything you need in the kitchen and linens/towels are supplied. BBQ on the deck as well!
There is satellite TV, Loads of movies for the DVD player, and WIFI so you can get a little work done while you're there.
Ask about parking an RV as well!
A well-behaved pet is ok. We want to accommodate your pooch - please be respectful so we can continue to allow pets! pets are subject to pet fees, please be sure to tick the box when you book!
In the summer, we have a 7day minimum-PLEASE BOOK SUNDAY TO SUNDAY. (it's all about the cleaning schedule) If you are wanting to book more than 7 days or if you cannot do Sunday, send me a message FIRST - sometimes we can accomodate! If you see a chunk of time available that isn't a full 7 days, contact me! If the cleaner is available, we can book it. Let's face it, we "prefer" 7days but we also don't want to turn you away :)
Off-season is a 3day minimum and can be any day
No restrictions on this lake means you can bring a pontoon boat, motor boat, or fishing boat. Water skiing and seadoos in the small part of the lake, while fishing is best at the back of the small lake or at Big Deka for the big lakers! It's a popular lake but never so busy where you feel crowded at all.
Summer: there are several kayaks and a paddle boat in the yard available for your use, but please bring your own lifejackets. The yard is great for outside games - there is a horseshoe pit and we have some outdoor games like bocce, Yardzee and badminton.
Enjoy the fire pit, there will be wood there for you, but make sure to check that there is no fire ban.
Have a boat? We have a dock. There are many launches at the lake, there's a good one just past the house. Just let me know if you are bringing the boat so we can make sure to have a spot for you. Rainbow and Kokanee are stocked every spring. The Kokanee like pink lures in summer and we have had success with pink or green buzzbombs for Lake trout :)
Fall: HUNTING SEASON!! Lone Butte has a gun range, and the hunting is going to be great this year! Deer, moose, grouse, bear - come on up and stock up your freezer!
Winter: ICE FISHING! Deka and Sulphurous Lake are popular with ice fishing enthusiasts. Plenty of Kokanee and Burbot! I'm told they like green lures and maggots in winter :)
There are about a dozen pairs of Cross Country Skis that you can use! From a wee set that just straps onto regular boots for a smaller child to size 12mens!
Bring your snow toys and try out the many trails or make your own
Inside we have loads of board games and books, a dvd library, some puzzles, a cd player and a bunch of cds to entertain you :)
Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses...anything you would need is here. And if its not, let me know so I can get it! The stove is propane and there is a dishwasher and microwave, coffee pot, kettle, toaster, blender - there's even a panini press! You will find everything you need in the kitchen!
Beds for 9 plus 1 more- there is a spare single mattress that can be put on floor. There is room on the floor in the bunk room and in Master. I do have ablowup Queen and spare single mattress if you needed another- please let me know if you will have more than 9 ppl so I can have linens ready.
Parking for about 4/5 vehicles in winter, more in summer as you can park in the RV spot
RV Parking - if you needed more space/more people and you want to bring the RV - we can arrange that! There is a spot for the 30ft RV and electricity available. Sanidump is a couple miles away. The charge is $30/night for the RV and that would be payable separately. Contact me to arrange for RV.
MORE RV Parking: We have another property which can accomodate a larger RV as well. It is just on other side of lake, a 2min drive, if you need the extra space, let me know.
25 min to downtown 100 Mile House and only about 15min to Lone Butte. Lone Butte has a couple great coffee shops and restaurants plus LoneButte Sporting Goods where ALL your fishing and hunting needs will be met. If you forgot anything, Interlakes Store is 9min away and they have what ever you might need for food, gas, beer and they have fantastic Butter Chicken made fresh almost every day!
