Available to all guests
We have everything that it takes to make your trip comfortable, safe and fun.

Panoramic Dining Room, Patio & Bar
Outdoor PatioOur 180 degree view dining restaurant, bar and patio, set on a hillside and overlooking both the North and East Arms of Quesnel Lake, makes you feel like you are on top of the world. The views are simply astounding and ever changing.

Inside, you will be greeted by one of our staff and taken to a table (inside or outside, depending on your choice and the weather). Our dining room is small, intimate and friendly. We only have eight tables, and serve a maximum of 30 guests at a time. Relax, meet new friends, and enjoy your evening.

Tackle & Fly Shop
Fly TyingOur Tackle & Fly Shop is more than what it sounds like. It is also a gathering place or a place to sit quietly during the day, curled up on the couch reading, enjoying something special to drink. Besides also having flies and tackle, this room in the lodge houses the Foos Ball Table (FUN!), Games, Videos, Puzzles and a Book Library.

Retail Clothing
Located in the foyer of the lodge, we sell a small assortment of clothing with Elysia's logo. For either yourself or a gift for someone back home, we have name brand hats, shirts, hoodies and jackets available in your size.

Miscellaneous Toiletries and Amenities
Forget something? We have various toiletries and amenities, cameras, batteries, and bug spray, etcetera. If we don't have it available and for sale, chances are one of the friendly staff will run to their house and lend or give you one of theirs.

Full Service Marina
MarinaElysia Resort has the only full service marina on Quesnel Lake. We sell fuel and oil, rent boats, launch your boat, store your boat on land, put your boat out on a buoy, and provide moorage.

Canoes & Paddles
Down at our marina we have several canoes available at no charge for the guest's use. It's wonderful to go for a short canoe ride at sunset, or a quiet paddle in the morning.

Firepits and Firewood
We have several strategically located firepits available for guests to have a bonfire at night. My favorite place to have a fire is down at the beach with the small waves lapping at the shore and the loons calling. Darrel makes sure there is oodles of firewood for your use. In fact, Darrel will often be the one who lights a fire down at the beach for guests to enjoy.

Outdoor BBQ Shack
If you're staying in a rustic or deluxe cabin, we invite you to use one of the two BBQs we have set up for you. The cooking area is under cover, and there is a picnic table nearby so that you can opt to eat right there. We encourage everyone to do their barbecuing here, instead of at their cabin, where there is no chance of unwanted fire.

Playground with Horseshoes, Badminton & Volleyball
Do you have kids, or do you just feel like a kid? We have a whole playground area just for you! We provide horseshoes, badminton, volleyball, bocce, croquet and lawn bowling.

Outdoor Hammocks & Picnic Tables
Picnic tables and strategically placed (some hidden) hammocks are available around the resort. You can read a book in a hammock until you fall asleep from utter relaxation.

Golf Carts for Getting Around
Complimentary Golf CartsWe use golf carts to get around, and so should you. The hill from the lodge down to the marina is lovingly called Cardiac Hill. It's OK going down but it can be quite a challenge going up. But not with one of our golf carts!

Turf Air Strip
We have a 2700 foot turf airstrip that borders our property, and, that we maintain on behalf of Transport Canada. We are an approved airstrip and are registered in the Canada Flight Supplement (Aerodrome Location Indicator CBK6). Always, when planning to use a turf air strip, call ahead for a turf condition report.

Hot Tub
Hot Tub & LodgeTired? Cold? muscles from catching lots of fish? Relax and have a soak in Elysia's hot tub. Our hot tub is open 24 hours a day to responsible adults. It's wonderful to sneak down to the hot tub after dark and watch the stars or the Milky Way. If you are really fortunate you will get to see the Northern Lights.
