Details

• 

  Description

  We are a multigenerational household, guided by our commitment to the land.
  Our home in Castlegar is beautifully situated along the Columbia River with a magnificent uninterrupted view of the river. Our location assures us of peace and calm.
  
  Deeper into the mountains, on our agricultural land (five minute drive from home) we are developing a food forest which is to be interspersed with small off grid structures and dwellings, built with natures' materials. We invite travellers to join us in this quiet idyllic setting. We offer a suite with private bath within our home; and/or, we provide camping and opportunities to stay in our off grid dwellings.
  
  We are a couple; Tanya and Ed, in our early 60's. Antonia 90, a happy Oma living with dementia, whom we hope you will enjoy connecting with and assisting her in some activities.
