We have two rooms attached to the main residence - the "Main" B&B room with it's own gorgeous ensuite, and the "Teen" room which can be rented along with the Main room for extra guests in the same party. We also have a 19' travel trailer set up by the river (or bring your own trailers and tents!) that can be rented by the week.
ACCOMMODATIONS PAGE
Accommodations include:
- Breakfast: A full breakfast served in complete privacy in your room or in your private garden. We specialize in wholesome, healthy choices - all fresh ingredients with eggs from our henhouse as well as homemade jam. Many guests love our homemade granola and yogurt with fruit from our property, but you can also have "good old" bacon and eggs if that's your preference. Breakfast is served at whatever time you like, until 10:00 a.m.
- Swimming in the river for the "young at heart". There are 123 stairs to get there, but after making your way down the cedar steps and landings and over the rock pathway to the river's edge, you can swim in deep pools of crystal clear water. Bring river shoes if you have them!
- Seasonal hot tub - just bring your swimsuit! (we usually drain it for the winter)
The "Main" Room (1 or 2 people):
The Main B&B room is an air-conditioned guest room that includes the following:

The "Teen Room" (1 or 2 people):
The Teen room is set up for teenagers or young adults (not toddlers) who share the ensuite bathroom with guests in the Main B&B room. The Teen room is not directly attached to the Main room - there a quick "dash" through our carport, but teenagers love it because it has a huge TV and they have privacy from their parents.

- In-room high speed wireless internet.

Bring your groceries, your "river" swimming shoes and yourselves and wake up each morning to the amazing sounds of the river in your own private camping area.

"The perfect place to spend a relaxing time. The koi pond and the waterfall was the best part of the day - beginning and end. You folks are charming, and I'm happy to have been here."

Vancouver, BC
"A great stay!! Enjoyed the natural setting, walking to the trout pond and time on the river. Napping while the rain fell on the skylight was calming. The bath tub was a treat. During our stay the weather varied from stormy to sunny, but the accommodations perfectly suited both. Relaxed, refreshed, we'll be back!"

What a fabulous camping spot! Quiet, private, falling asleep in your cute little trailer listening to the river was amazing. We swam, and relaxed, and swam some more. I was almost in tears when it was time to leave. We'll be back!
Victoria, BC
"This place is an absolute treasure! The river was amazing and we'll be sure to be back next summer. You made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Gracie and Bella are such joys. Gotta say... love the rooster too. We both agree it was a perfect place for our first anniversary. Thank you!"
