The Farmhouse at Deadman Acres

Nestled in the valley, beside the pristine Deadman Creek and open pastures, a little red farmhouse awaits your relaxing rural retreat or exciting outdoor adventure. Our remote 80 acre farm is set within a magnificent and unexpected BC landscape, with fascinating historical and geological features dotting the surrounding area.

The farmhouse is centrally located on our working farm, but is fenced to provide a private personal space for you to enjoy. While far from the city, enjoy all the regular modern amenities, as well as the fire pit, hot tub, bar, patio with BBQ & outdoor dining area. Star gazing from the tub is a must on a clear night!

The farmhouse is uniquely furnished in a vintage canadiana style, you will find lots of art, literature and ephemera pertaining to the local area as well as board games and art supplies.

The Deadman River bisects the property and provides a refreshing swim during the summer. We also back onto crown land so there is access to trails for hiking.

Free range livestock you can expect to see on the farm are chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, geese, goats, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, rabbits, cats and dogs.

We are pet friendly but please be sure your dog is suited to a farm environment and you are prepared to keep them on leash and manage them.

The house is heated by wood stove and fire wood for it is supplied for free. Firewood for outdoor campfires as well as a breakfast package are available as add ons. Our Barn Store is available for shopping by request, here you will find meat, produce and handmade products from our farm.

The farmhouse has one bedroom with a double/single bunk bed and has a queen fold out bench in the living room. If you are a larger group and prefer separate/more private sleeping arrangements we have an additional cabin on the property that can be added on upon request.

We live on site so you can expect to see us out and about working through the day.

Our livestock guardian dogs bark from time to time during the night. They alert us to predators and anything out of the ordinary. Apologies if they are vocal during your stay - they are doing their job!

Deadman Vidette Road begins in the Skeetchestn Indigenous community and emerges into valley bottom farmland. The winding road and parallel river are sandwiched in a dramatic backdrop of colourful rock formations and hoodoos on the slopes above. Old pioneer homesteads, remnants of fur trade and gold mining industry stand abandoned, relicts the Western frontier, dotted among the ranches and cabins that constitute the local population. Up the valley beyond the Deadman Acres Homestead are a series of six lakes, the 'centre of the universe', gorgeous plateau meadows and deadman falls.
