Guest Bedroom click photo for larger view

Our guest facilities are newly built or renovated with radiant floor heating, red oak & slate floors and wrap around balconies with views both ways of the Selkirk and Monashee mountains. The bedrooms feature rustic, locally hand-made king size beds, European style bathrooms with thermostatic rain showers and heated towel rails.

Our aim from the outset was to run our B&B in the most environmentally friendly way possible. When building our extension we used minimal concrete, built with wood sourced locally, used local labour and suppliers. Large overhangs on the roof and blinds on the windows provide shade from the summer sun so that we don’t use any energy-hungry air-conditioning.

We installed dual flush toilets and connected a ‘grey water’ system.

We installed an extremely efficient radiant floor heating system (Warmboard) and excessively insulated all the walls, floors and ceilings. The Pella windows are tripled glazed with Low-E insulating glass.

We used water based and low toxicity internal wood finishes.

We installed a highly efficient external wood burning furnace that heats all our hot water and supplies heating for the house. We burn waste cedar from a local cedar mill. Provided the wood is dried and seasoned properly this system is almost carbon neutral.

Our drinking water is from a bore fed by a natural spring 91m I 300ft below ground.

In cleaning we use environmentally friendly cleaning products wherever possible (chemical free products) and do not use anti-bacterial soaps (anti-bacterial soaps are responsible for destroying vast amounts of naturally occurring water micro-organisms at the bottom of the food chain). We line-dry our linens when weather permits.

Although it is impossible to be completely ‘green’ we try and recycle, reduce and re-use as much as we can. We always use our own shopping bags, buy local produce, and have our own free-range meat chickens, turkeys and eggs.

In the future we would like to explore installing solar panels on our barn roof but currently it is not cost effective.

Wendy & Graham have 3 children, 2 dogs, 2 barn cats, 1 goat and about 70 chickens. click photo for larger view
