Discover Sustutdene Eco Resort on Takla Lake | Where Culture, Land, & Stillness Meet

There are places where the land speaks softly –  through water lapping at the shoreline, fire crackling under an open sky, and footsteps moving gently along ancient paths. Sustutdene Eco Resort is one of those places.

Resting along the pristine waters of Takla Lake, this Eco Resort in Takla Lake offers more than a getaway. It offers a return to nature, to age-old stories, and to a way of being that values balance, care, and connection. 

A Place Rooted in Story | The Sustutdene Lands

Sustutdene Eco Resort is located on the traditional lands of the Indigenous Sustutdene people, within British Columbia’s Dakelh Territory. This landscape has held generations of knowledge, movement, and memory –  and today, it continues to do so.

This lake, this forest, and all the surrounding mountains are not simply scenic features, although they do make beautiful post-cards; they are living parts of a cultural and historic landscape. As an Eco Resort in Takla Lake, SER is grounded in respect for this land and the responsibility of caring for it, while inviting guests to experience it in a meaningful, authentic way. 

A Vision Carried Forward | Indigenous Ownership & Purpose

Sustutdene Eco Resort was founded by Alana Tevely – future Hereditary Chief of the Sustutdene people – alongside her husband, Eric Tevely. Together, they envisioned a place where culture could be shared and understood openly, sustainability could be practiced intentionally, and guests could experience the land as it has always been known: generous, grounding, and alive.

With the long-standing support and partnership of Gino Mersino, the resort has grown into a place that blends thoughtful comfort with cultural integrity. Every detail reflects a shared commitment to honouring heritage while creating a welcoming experience for all who arrive.

This purpose-led approach is what truly defines SER as a distinctive Eco Resort in Takla Lake. 

Deep Healing, Rest, & Connection | An Experience That Slows You Down

Sustutdene Eco Resort is designed as a space for healing, relaxation, and reconnection. Days unfold gently here –  whether you’re watching morning mist rise from the lake, sharing stories around a campfire, or exploring the land on a guided adventure.

Guests are invited to engage with authentic Indigenous experiences, outdoor activities, and moments of stillness that allow the nervous system to soften and the mind to quiet. 

This is travel that nourishes, not overwhelms –  a defining quality of an Eco Resort in Takla Lake rooted in intention. 

Bridging Comfort & Culture | Where You Stay

Accommodations at Sustutdene Eco Resort reflect a balance between simplicity and care. Guests can choose from vintage cabins, newer cabins and chalets, lakeside campsites, RV sites, or tent camping –  each offering a different way to experience Takla Lake’s natural beauty.

No matter where you rest, you remain close to the elements: fresh air, open skies, and the gentle rhythm of the water. This closeness to nature is part of what makes staying at an Eco Resort in Takla Lake feel so deeply restorative. 

Adventure with Intention | Experiences on the Land

From guided hiking, equine, and boat tours to seasonal sports adventures and winter activities, SER offers experiences that invite you to move through the land with awareness and curiosity.

Photography, wildlife viewing, snowmobile adventures, quiet paddles across the lake –  every activity is designed to foster connection rather than consumption. Guests of all ages are welcome, making SER a place for families, explorers, and those simply seeking space to breathe. 

Sustainability as Responsibility | Caring for What Sustains Us

Sustainability at Sustutdene Eco Resort is woven into daily operations. The resort embraces environmentally friendly practices, from reusable materials and mindful energy use to innovative sustainability solutions that reduce environmental impact over time.

SER operates with the understanding that protecting the land is not optional –  it is essential. Guests are invited to be part of this stewardship, travelling thoughtfully and leaving the land as they found it.
