Description
Our family lives on a beautiful rural acreage 5 minutes from downtown Terrace, BC located on the Skeena River. Our property is nestled among a cedar and spruce grove, with a beautiful view of Sleeping Beauty Mountain. With direct access to the river you can step out the door and cast a line. A perfect spot to stay after an amazing ski day at Shames Mountain or fun day at the Lakelse Lake. We have our main house and two cabins located on the property. We have a greenhouse and run a thriving bnb in a cabin that is also located on the property that over looks the Skeena River.
We are an active outdoor family of three, both my husband I work full time and we have a son that is 11 yrs. old. I teach YOGA at a local studio close to our house. We have three adult daughters that have all moved out on their own. Our family are all outdoor enthusiast we enjoy; hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing and hunting. We live sustainably and eat healthy meals together. If you come stay with us you will have many new Canadian adventure stories to share with friends and family back home. We all speak English.

Terrace is your gateway to the best outdoor adventure in Northern BC. Located along the mighty Skeena River, the second largest river in British Columbia, Terrace is surrounded by mountain peaks, rivers, lakes, and wildlife.
With four distinct seasons and a culture of active living, Terrace offers activities year-round for residents and visitors of all ages. Grab your fishing pole and drop a line in one of our many rivers or lakes. Or get your adrenaline surge with a day of incredible mountain biking on our new and challenging trails.
You’ll find some of the best winter activities here. Terrace is home to the hidden gem that is Shames Mountain, which can only be described as one of the best family-oriented powder mountains in the province.
If you’re seeking a quieter adventure, we have that too – fresh air, scenic viewpoints, a variety of local eateries, our own craft brewery, unique boutiques, and a vibrant music and arts scene are waiting for you. Stop by Heritage Park Museum to participate in a local event or to better understand Terrace’s history. While we are proud of our small-town roots, we also deliver big on amenities including modern retail businesses, restaurants, and the largest farmers market in Northern BC. ( Every Saturday am 9:00-2:00)
First Nation Cultural Connections:
Northwest is home to a rich history of First Nations culture that dates back to time immemorial. Many opportunities exist to uncover authentic First Nations experiences that are based on the traditional lifestyle. Visit the Tsimshian communities closest to Terrace – the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum.
