Wake up to goats grazing outside your large front window and enjoy your morning coffee on the wrap around deck overlooking beautiful Erie Lake and a charming historic red barn. This 1-bedroom country cottage with a king sized bed sits on 16 acres, offering the perfect blend of farm charm, comfort, and adventure. Feed the animals and enjoy the mountains. The owners live on the same property. Located directly off of Highway 3 for easy access.
The guest cottage is a private, stand-alone unit located across a small bridge and seasonal creek from the main house, offering a private stay. There are no neighboring properties on either side of the land.
Feel free to roam the property and explore. Unfortunately, due to the age of the red barn and safety concerns, the inside is off limits—but you’re welcome to take photos from the outside.
Please do not enter the animal enclosures, however, they are all friendly and love pets and treats through the fence. You’re welcome to enjoy the plentiful fruit trees when in season, or cross the highway to access a beautiful trail and short 8 minute walk that leads down to the lake.
Please note: the property is located just off of Highway 3. Some traffic noise may be heard. We are 5 minutes West of Salmo and 12 minutes East of Fruitvale. The host also runs a business from the main home so there are a few vehicles coming and going from the property during the week. This does not impact the cottage as it is a separate dwelling. Drinking/cooking water is provided as the cottage is fed with creek water. This is an active farm with daily chores being performed on the property. Early check in is often possible if the suite is ready. Please message the host to check if interested. The cottage stays quite cool in the summer but there is a fan provided if needed.
