Since before we can remember, our dream has been to own a fishing resort. Now our dream has come true!
Hi! We’re the McTaggart’s.
We are a family from Mission BC, who decided to pursue our dreams of owning a fishing resort. We were ready to get out of the city, the shiftwork, and become our own bosses. It wasn’t easy leaving our old life behind and moving 5 hours away to a place we had never even visited. We went in with the mentality of “no risk, no reward”, and purchased Hathaway Lake Resort in October of 2020. It has been the best decision we could have made! We are excited for our guests to experience the beauty at our resort and share the joy this place gives us. When you stay with us, you will find us all around. Please come up and introduce yourselves. Whether it’s a question about our amenities, fishing tips for our lake, or simply an issue you need resolved, we are more then happy to lend a helpful hand!
Get To Know Us
Jamie and Melissa
We are high school sweethearts who have been together for over 30 years. We both share many interests, including a love for the outdoors. Jamie was happy to leave behind a production concrete job to be our jack of all trades, master of none that he truly embodies. He once fixed an upholstery cleaner wand with a balloon and a paperclip. We are constantly amazed by all that he can do. Melissa owned and operated a small cleaning business, which enabled her to be home with the kids and work while they were at school. Melissa runs the business side of our resort, as well as being in charge of all things cleaning and customer service. Hers is likely the first and last face you will see when staying with us.
Emily and Ben
We both grew up in a loving home where we were encouraged to follow our dreams and pursue our passions. Which is why we were more than happy to join our parents as they pursued theirs. Emily has always been the tech savvy one of our family and we are lucky to have her running most of our online operations including our website (which she made with no previous experience) and social media on top of all the behind the scenes computer work. Ben has always been an all or nothing kid and he excels at everything he puts his mind to. He is our go to guy for all things fishing here at Hathaway Lake as well as being a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the outdoors.
Ultimately, we form a well balanced team. We all have our own skills and strengths that we contribute and we know that this wouldn’t be possible without each other. We are so grateful we get to do what we do and that we get to spend our days together.
