Accommodation
Enjoy the entire 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Homestead. Bring your family and friends for an immersive experience that includes walking paths in an old growth forest, a wealth of native plants, metre high ant hills, a rare little brown bat colony, paddling on the lake (bring your own watercraft) and visits to local artisan businesses, spas and restaurants. Guided forest tours available on request for an added fee of $25/person. Custom arrangements can be made for longer stays.
The Homestead can easily host your private stay, a family get-together, or 4-person corporate event. It sleeps six in the three themed bedrooms, each room fitted with premium mattresses and soft, organic bamboo sheets. You’ll enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen with a nearby BBQ, large dining room, and a living room overlooking the lake.
During a 14 month renovation in 2018, we took the structure right down to the logs and joists. We completely updated everything from the electrical, plumbing and water systems, and a new energy-efficient heating system. The result is a comfortable, spacious home with all the modern conveniences, and a delightful rustic décor.
In every room of the Homestead, you’ll experience a showcase of innovative design and wood creations – from hand-built bed platforms using lumber milled on site, to live-edge headboards, arbutus branch legs on the kitchen island, an arbutus chandelier and tree slab coffee table.
We’re all a little more conscious of cleanliness, post-COVID. At the Homestead, we take cleaning seriously. After each rental, the entire house is thoroughly sanitized, top to bottom. All kitchen equipment is sanitized and anything that can go in the dishwasher is sanitized there. Your health and safety is our top concern. As part of our efforts to protect guests that may have allergies who stay after your visit, pets are not allowed at the Homestead.
