The Rustic Farmhouse – Your Nature Escape

Welcome to a place that feels worlds away, yet sits only 20 minutes from everything you could need.
A peaceful sanctuary where you can rest your body, refresh your mind, and restore your spirit.

Here you’ll slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect—with nature, with each other, and with yourself.

The Experience

Step into the quiet beauty of 16 private acres surrounded by mountains, West Coast forests and big open sky. Spend your days doing everything—or nothing at all.

Wander the property. Hike the Mount Thom Trail, or the famous Elk–Thurston Trail, just minutes away.

Relax in the hot tub or soak up the sun on the decks surrounding the solar-heated outdoor swimming pool.

Gather around the fire pit for stories, s’mores, and star-filled nights.

Enjoy playing cards or settle in for a cozy movie night.

Grill outside and take in panoramic views of sky, mountains, and whispering pines. Marvel at luminous sunsets.

In winter, enjoy peaceful snowshoeing and cross-country skiing right from the property.

Our skies are unlimited and unhindered. Be amazed by the nighttime display of millions of stars scattered across a perfectly dark sky — one of our guests’ favourite memories.

Adventure is at your doorstep

This location is perfect for nature lovers, families, and groups looking to explore:

World-class salmon and sturgeon fishing (20–25 minutes away).

Cultus Lake beaches, water skiing & the Cultus Lake Waterslides.

White-water rafting, kayaking, and boating.

Harrison Hot Springs – a guest favourite day trip.

Perfect for Families, Groups & Retreats.
The Rustic Farmhouse is ideal for:

Family vacations

Couples’ getaways

Corporate offsites & meetings.

Multi-family holidays.

Make your stay even more effortless: catered meals are available upon request.

Pool House with Stunning Views

Great location with incredible views. The pool was fantastic on hot days. The place as a whole is a bit run down, but was very clean, with lots of beds and bathrooms, pool table and hot tub. Could use an umbrella on the deck table as the sun beats down on that sunny side. Otherwise very comfortable with a huge kitchen with everything needed to cook for a crowd. We were missing dish soap for some reason but the care taker rushed over with some immediately. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful view!

This was a great house for a group. Beautiful view and exterior with the deck and pool. Loved being able to have a fire and roast marshmellows! Deer came right up to the house and in the yard. The beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The living area and games room was great! The only thing we found a bit awkward was that there was no main bathroom. The only bathrooms were inside bedrooms so you always had to go into someone's room to use the bathroom. And there was one room without a bathroom so at night it was very awkward for the person without a bathroom to have to go into someones room while they were sleeping to use the bathroom.

Hello Jenna We are so glad that you and your friends could enjoy our property. I am sorry about the inconvenience of the bathroom layout. The house in question used to have 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and beds for 17, with fold-out couch and futon for 3 more. We could easily host up to 20 people. With the new BC Government restrictions being imposed on short-term rentals, we must now offer a maximum of 3 bedrooms to a maximum of 8 guests. To that end, we have had to redesign the house, removing dividing walls between bedrooms to enlarge them. We had to change our bathroom layout as well. I am sorry that you did not get to experience the house with all the completed work. It is truly beautiful. Cheers

Great View, Great Pool, Rental House

We spent one week at this property in August,2014. We were 3 families. The view is great, the pool and hot tub are great, the house is in need of a lot of repairs. The property has been rented out a lot and there are many broken or patched pieces in most rooms. There is one double bed upstairs and one downstairs (this is different than what is on the web site). If you are okay with rustic this is the place for you.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Mar 2020
This was our busiest June to August in 3 years and we were booked almost every single day.Yes, by the end of the season the house was tired and in need of some TLC. We have repaired everything that need repairing, gutted 2 bathrooms and are making them brand new, all new stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, new tiles on floor, new paint in some areas of house, new games/meeting room, new comforters and better mattresses. All beds will be singles convertible to king beds when requested ( like on cruise ships). We have taken a few weeks off from bookings so contractors can get it all done by November 26th. New pics and video tour will be posted then.

Mountain escape

We were falling over ourselves over the view. The place was as advertised. The hot tub and pool made for a really fun weekend. It had some clear wear and tear and wasn’t perfect, but we didn’t mind much (pool table was a very small version with no cue chalk; renos ongoing throughout the house which the host warned us about; one of two fridges didn’t work even when plugged in). Andre was an excellent host - responsive and proactive, and was kind enough to allow us some flexibility for our check-out time. We would definitely come back, or try her other property.

Hello David. Thank you. Yes, the pool table had some wear-and-tear: we are due to replace it. Our fridge was not working and all the Appliance Repair technicians I had inquired of were 1-2 weeks out before they could come and repair it. That is why we brought an extra fridge up to the house for your weekend. Our interior renovations are done: the house is in amazing shape. We are glad that you and your friends had a memorable time.

Great Group Get Away Spot with Amazing View

The location is great tucked away from the city with an amazing view. The place was a perfect size for a large group with lots of space for everyone. Lots of room to cook in the kitchen and bbq on the deck. The pool was a great add on to have in the summer heat. The property itself is a great location and house but does need some further upkeep as it is looking a bit run down in parts. Check in process we were given the wrong code for the door and had trouble at first contacting the host as there is very little reception there. Contact host was very helpful and quick to help resolve any issues.

Great family retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We were a multi-generation group of 4 adults and two children. We were joined later in our rental by another family of 2 adults and two more children. Having lots of space and bedrooms was a great feature of this property. Unfortunately the water in the swimming pool was too cold for it to be focus of our late August vacation than we had hoped for. But instead we used the hot tub a lot more than we expected. The kitchen and house were well-equipped for our group of 10. We especially enjoyed our meals on the outdoor deck. The owner was very helpful during our stay when we had problems with the satellite WiFi which can be a little problematic (as to be expected).

Thank you, Paul. Yes, we are sorry that August was unseasonally cool, and the solar panel used to heat the swimming pool could not make up for the chilly days and nights. We are glad that the hottub was a welcome distraction. As guests go, you and your group were some of the best we have ever hosted in 10 years of business. Come back anytime. Cheers

Beautiful escape from the city!

Beautiful relaxing home! This is a great choice if you want to get out of the city and have a relaxing weekend away without having to travel too far. The house is well stocked and has a great layout with lots of bedrooms for big groups. If you're traveling with a group of couples, keep in mind that many of the bedrooms have twin beds and they are not really set up to be easily converted into kings as is implied in the ad. There are beautiful views of the mountains and a gorgeous pool and hot tub deck. There is some nice hiking nearby too. The hosts are very nice and will do their best to help. They came by the house several times during our stay, which was not a big deal, but it is a little harder to relax and make yourself at home when the owners are there or may be showing up at any moment. All in all, a great experience!
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Mar 2020
Thanks Erin. We did come by once with your approval to show the house and gave a late check out (2pm instead of 11am), when we already had work booked for 1pm. Our apologies- we didn't realize it affected your stay.
