Description
We are a husband and wife couple with two wonderfully active children aged 7 and 11. We live on a small rural acreage nestled between the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains. We enjoy the outdoors gardening, quading, fishing, horse back riding. Once winter comes, we enjoy sledding and snow shoeing as well.
Part of why we love living in McBride is the amazing scenery and fabulous people. The community is exceptionally welcoming to new folks!Types of help and learning opportunities

While staying with us, you would be able to enjoy the culture of a small community. Things are a little slower here compared to the big cities. Check out the many tourist destinations including the ones that aren’t on any tourist maps. We do have all needed amenities in town (within walking distance) and some fabulous coffee shops too.
