Puntzi Lake is 2 hours west of the city of Williams Lake. Puntzi Lake is known for an excellent place to fish for kokanee and rainbow trout. (Kokanee are land locked sockeye salmon). Development around Puntzi Lake includes full time residents as well as seasonal cabin owners. We belong to the district of Chilanko Forks. It is a close knit community with friends and neighbors helping each other. The lake itself is 7 miles long and 3 miles wide. It is recorded to be 140 ft deep at it's deepest. There are 4 resorts on the lake. Our customers have told us that they come here because it has the best moorage, the campsites are the nicest with many water front and treed. Pull through sites are easy to access and also have a lake view. Our cabins are all lake front with a wonderful view of the lake. We have many repeat guests who come year after year and many several times a year. Guests who are here for the first time leave happy and will be back. We have many reservations for 2010.
The business has grown over the past several years. We were happy with the revenue the first year but since then, we have seen increases yearly. This year we have seen an increase of over 10%, which we are extremely happy about with the economic downturn that has affected many businesses. We are open from mid May to end of November each year. We basically have 5 months off each year so the income listed above is earned in only 7 months. If someone wanted to be open longer, there is a need in this area. We get many calls during the winter for work crews and holidayers looking for cabins. There is no one open in this area in winter.

We looked for 3 years to find the resort for us. We run it by ourselves (husband and wife) and although there are busy times, there
