Burns Lake, Accommodation

Wanting to explore the wilderness there is this fantastic Vacation
rental home called the
Wistaira Manor.
It is on Ootsa lake south of
Burns Lake by 80km that will meet every expectation for a fabulous
place to stay in the wilderness. It is literally at the the end of the
pavement at 16.5km on the Ootsa-Nadina road just before the Wistaira
Community Hall.
The home is a fully furnished log home with all the
needed amenity's supplied. We just needed to bring food and our toothbrush. It is as well equipped or above any condo rental we have stayed
at. There was wildlife to see in the yard and mountain views that will
be remembered forever.
Ootsa lake has huge rainbow trout that tempted us
to go on a fishing trip and then there was the lure to go to
Eutsuk lake in
Tweedsmuir
park across the portage west of the Wistaira Manor. A good sized boat
is required for this. There are lots of smaller lakes that are within .5
hour drive that will satisfy any need to have trout on the breakfast
menu.
There is lots to see and record with the camera or time to paint a
picture or read a book. A professional guide service is close by that
could take us on any desired exploration. There is access to a float
plane tour company that we could charter for the extra special view of
the area. This is a come back to location.
