Loon Lake: Loon Lake is just 2km up the road. At the top of the driveway turn right, and the lake is just 2km ahead. While the Loon Lake shoreline is mostly private property, there are a couple of public access spots, if you know where to find them, which you will rarely spot another person at. The closest public access which you are free to use is just past the first resort. Just after you drive through Evergreen Resort the road takes a slight curve. On your right you will see a very small brown "Provincial Park" sign. You can park just on the side of the road right here, and enjoy this small grassy area on the side of the lake. It is not a large area, and is a bit of a drop down to the water, but it is private and quiet. The second access is also a grassy & treed area, though much larger, with a bit of a drop down to the waters edge also. It is about 10 km up Loon Lake road, on the right-hand side, with an yellow metal gate across the accesses point. Though the sign may say "closed" it is still Provincial Park at this time and you are free to walk in to the site and enjoy the area. Loon Lake is an extremely popular fishing lake, but is also a popular recreational lake. Though it is not the clearest lake in the area, and the lake does get an algae bloom a couple times a year, swimming is still popular. Another great option is to rent a boat, canoe, kayak etc. from one of the Resorts. Evergreen Resort, 2km up, rents canoes, kayaks, fishing boats and pontoon boats. White Moose Resort is 14 km up the road, and also rents pontoon boats. Both resorts have small stores where you can get basic necessities such as groceries and toiletries - though White Moose does have a larger selection. Back Country Exploring: The area is filled with mazes of gravel logging roads to explore. Roads are not clearly named or marked, some are well maintained, others are not, so exploring these roads is best for those well prepared, experienced and looking for an adventure (and equipped with 4 wd). This vast area can be accessed at the end of Loon Lake road, where the pavement turns to gravel. Access through Wild Rose ranch is monitored and only permitted by the ranch on the condition of travelers being respectful of the ranch and their livestock, which roam freely. This maze of backroads, which stretches from Kamloops to Clinton, to 100 Mile House and beyond has many access points off of towns and highways. Directions are nearly impossible to give, unless you know the area, so purchasing a Backroads map book, at a local gas station would be your best bet for exploring (there is rarely a cell signal in these areas, so don't rely on your gps!)

Our Farm We bought this property as a bare piece of land over 20 years ago. The weeds and grass grew wild, and there was not a single fence post or structure. Since then we have worked hard to make the land productive for hay crops and livestock, and devoted ourselves to building all our own log & timber frame buildings - with our own two hands. A few buildings, such as the barn & shop, we built from harvesting logs on our property and working them by hand, with axe, chisel, and broad-axe. Other buildings, such as these cabins, as well as the secondary-house, are historical buildings which we have refinished or partially rebuilt. We take pride in our craftsmanship and working with our hands, as is true to our Mennonite roots, and are proud to call this farm our home, raise our family here, and be as self-sufficient as possible. We also raise beef, lamb, pasture-raised/free-range chickens, and eggs - all which we sell directly to families who are proud to know where their food comes from, how it was raised, and enjoy the quality of happy & humanely raised products. Any guests who are interested in knowing more, or interested in purchasing any products for their stay, are welcome to talk to us or send us a message. Arranging meat or eggs before your arrival is always ideal, as we can have things arranged and set out for you in the cabin before-hand, as we are not always available at guest’s departure time. Nature & Wildlife: Our farm is surrounded by millions of acres of "crown"/public land and wildlife is adundant. Deer, bear, cougars, moose, wolves, cyotes, eagles, otter, beaver, marmot, fox - the list goes on and on. Hundreds of deer can often be seen grazing in the fields along the road, and cougars and bears are popular residence in the hills around our farm. Caution when hiking remote areas is important, however "unwanted" wildlife rarely wander in to the farm area - largely deterred by our loyal dogs. The creeks and lakes are full of trout, the skies are full of dozens of eagles through-out the spring - though they do reside through-out the year. You may see our free range ducks or chickens around the yard, our barn cats, dogs, baby lambs and calves, depending on the season. The historic "Hudson's Bay" cabin is close to animal pens and, depending on the time of year, you may enjoy sites of the cattle, horses, or sheep just near your cabin. In spring you may even enjoy watching the baby lambs running and jumping in their pen, from the front porch of the cabin. Cabin History Both of our unique log cabins were built around 1942, and originally sat on the shores of Loon Lake, just 2km down the road. They were part of one of Loon Lakes oldest family-run fishing Resorts and the cabins were built by a distant relative of ours, completely by hand from the forest nearby. They were originally built as simple one room cabins, which housed many bunk beds with curtain dividers, used a wood stove to cook and heat, had a simple kitchen, and had no bathrooms. We moved the Hudson’s Bay cabin to our farm in 2002, and the Cowboy Cabin in 2006. The Hudson’s Bay cabin features a unique handcrafted log bed, built by Kevin. Living on a farm, in rural British Columbia poses all kinds of challenges and experiences that come with each season. This means we have heat in the summer, cold in the fall & winter, dust, mud, snow, bugs, unreliable cell service, no local grocery stores, and wood burning fireplaces to keep us warm. It' all part of our everyday life, and an authentic Canadian wilderness experience for you!

Sightseeing

Deadman/Vidette : A great day trip is a drive up the scenic Deadman/Vidette valley. This magnificent valley is the areas best kept secret, and is really only well known by locals to the area – making it that much cooler! The 56km long valley winds through small farms and ranches, past the towering colourful rock formations, following Deadmans Creek, until the valley narrows in to chain of multiple roadside lakes. The Castle Rock Hoodoos, (towering unique rock formations) spiral up on one side of the road, while multiple clear lakes drop off the opposite side of the road. On top of it all, a point at the end of these lakes (access through the private owned resort) is considered to be the Center of The Universe by Tibetan Monks. Just when you think there couldn't be more that this valley could offer, if you continue up the long steep gravel hill at the end of the road, follow the road for another 5-10 minutes and you will find the spectacular 200’ Deadman Falls. There are no markings or signs for this waterfall, and you aren't able to see it from the road, so the best you can do is keep a sharp eye out for other peoples’ vehicle tracks at best. Continuing up to the waterfall might not be for everyone, but if you do find it, you will be in awe at its magnificence! This remote waterfall is completely on its own - no tourism, no signs, no guard rails - so be careful and keep a tight hold on children and pets! From your view point above the waterfall you will see it drop an impressive 200 feet to the valley floor below. This is true Canadian wilderness! This valley really couldn't have more to offer and makes for a great day trip! There are plenty of picnic stops along the roadside lakes/campsites, some with pit toilets. To get here: Head to the bottom of Loon Lake Road, turn left on Hwy 97 towards Cache Creek. At Cache Creek turn left at the stop lights to access Hwy 1, stay on Hwy 1 toward Kamloops for approximately 30 kms. Turn left onto Deadman Vidette Road. This road continues for 56km (32 miles), where it takes a steep hill up to continue on to the waterfall. From here on the roads turn in to a maze of logging roads, so you'll have to turn back around and head out the way you came! Deadman Road can also be accessed through Back Valley Road, just outside of Cache Creek on Hwy 1. This gravel road is often well-maintained (but no guarantees!) and meets Deadman Road further up the valley, closer to the lakes.

Marble Canyon Provincial Park & Pavilion Lake: Enjoy a scenic drive through the Marble Canyon and rugged Pavilion Mountain Range. The limestone canyon in which Marble Canyon Provincial Park is located is a quite rare geological formation in British Columbia. Popular with fishermen and birders, and a great spot for a picnic lunch or a stopping spot on your road trip if you're heading towards Whistler/Vancouver on Hwy 99. A small, quiet campground, set between two small lakes Turquoise and Crown has a small day-use area and is a good stopping spot. Good opportunities for hiking, and swimming at the small sandy beach on Crown Lake. Pit toilets here. To get here, head back down Loon Lake Road to Hwy 97, turn left towards Cache Creek. After 10km turn right onto Highway 99 towards Lillooet/Whistler, drive approx 30km until you reach the signs for Marble Canyon and Turquoise & Crown Lake. Continuing a few kilometers down the road will take you to the gorgeous and incredibly clear Pavilion Lake. Pavilion Lake is most notable for being the home to a unique microbialite (type of sedimentary deposit) and is the subject of astrobiology research by NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and research institutions around the world. The lake is a beautiful clean swimming lake, though public access is limited. As you drive along the lake you will see a stopping point with an information sign (just across from the tiny island) - this is a good spot to stop for a nice jump in the water!

Back Country Exploring The area is filled with mazes of gravel logging roads to explore. Roads are not clearly named or marked, some are well maintained, others are not, so exploring these roads is best for those well prepared, experienced and looking for an adventure (and equipped with 4 wd). This vast area can be accessed at the end of Loon Lake road, where the pavement turns to gravel. Access through Wild Rose ranch is monitored and only permitted by the ranch on the condition of travelers being respectful of the ranch and their livestock, which roam freely. This maze of backroads, which stretches from Kamloops to Clinton, to 100 Mile House and beyond has many access points off of towns and highways. Directions are nearly impossible to give, unless you know the area, so purchasing a Backroads map book, at a local gas station would be your best bet for exploring (there is rarely a cell signal in these areas, so don't rely on your gps!)

Seasonal experiences-be prepared for Canada rural farm life

Living on a farm, in rural British Columbia poses all kinds of challenges and experiences that come with each season. This means we have heat in the summer, cold in the fall & winter, dust, mud, snow, bugs, unreliable cell service, no local grocery stores, and wood burning fireplaces to keep us warm. It's all part of our everyday life, and an authentic Canadian wilderness experience for you!
