cabin vacation rentals with farm Bee experiences

---

We fell in love with the Arrow Lakes very much by chance.  We were on a mission of sorts, scouting the backroads looking for a place with a little more elbow room than our home on Vancouver Island.  We had loaded ourselves and our puppy  Whinny in our Sprinter Van and set off from Cowichan Bay.  With a list of properties for sale in hand, we decided to take a new road for us, highway 6, east out of Vernon.  It was getting late when we found a forest service road and place to stop for the night.  The next morning, we headed along the highway, with the Central Kootenays as our destination.  Now being lovers of coffee, one will just not do. So by the time we crossed Arrow Lake on the Needles Ferry, it was time for another.  We finally found that coffee in Burton (sadly that stand is now closed).  Coffee in hand, we made out way to the lake.  Standing on the beach, looking north to Revelstoke and south west at the Valhallas, we knew this area was special.  We didn't find our new home on that trip, or the next one.  But finally, everything seemed to line up and we were able to purchase 4250 bc hwy 6.  We never forgot that search for coffee on our first trip into the region - it was the reason we knew we needed to open Fraser's Market.  A few years later, we've shifted gears and now offer cabin vacation rentals, self-guiede tour itinaries and bee  farm experiences.
