Bed and Breakfast
1. Do you take credit cards?
Yes, but not interact until the summer of 2012 when we become connected to high speed internet.
2. Can I reserve ahead?
Yes, please do, however; if you do not show up, we will charge your credit card $50.00 for holding the room for you when we may have rented it out. Sorry, but business is business.
3. How many guests can you accommodate?
We are licensed for 8 adults. There is a twin bed and cot available though for emergencies such as a bed in the same room as a parent.
4. What kind of breakfast do you serve?
A gourmet breakfast featuring such items as banana pancakes, lemon pineapple jam and whipped cream, fluffy omelettes, bacon, ham and sausages, cowboy toast made with homemade bread and quiches , plus other dishes will make up the breakfast fare served between 8 and 9 am.
5. What if I leave early?
A Continental help yourself breakfast can be arranged the night before, including toast, bagels, cream cheese, jam, and coffee or tea.
6. Do you accept long term stays?
Well, yes and no. We accept long term patrons, but there is no monthly or weekly rate offerred so the rate is the same as a single day rate.
7. What if we do not want breakfast?
There is no discount for not partaking in breakfast.
8. Is the farm tour part of the B & B?
No, farm tours are booked, take about an hour and must be supervised at all times by order of the county. No visitors may go near the animals on their own, no matter the experience they have with critters.
9. Do you have internet and TV?
No, and likely won't have TV ever, though high speed internet is booked to be installed in the summer of 2012.
10. Are there things to do at the B & B?
There is an extensive book collection for all ages and preferences, a key board, art supplies for children, two wood burning fireplaces to curl up beside and many outdoor activities to partake of in the area.
Questions, questions...
1. Eileen, have you gone completely mad?
Well,maybe. You never know until you try something, whether it will work or not.
2. Why did you choose Canadian horses?
Canadians are our heritage horse and like the people who inhabit the land, we are strong, capable, intelligent, willing and loyal. Oh yeah....the horses are also real purdy.
3. How did you find out about Karakul sheep?
I like to research things. When most people are vegitating, watching TV, I am working, but I never think of it as work. I spend a lot of time on the computer finding information and reading about everything that interests me. Google is my good friend. The karakuls came up over and over in searches when I looked for an all round sheep for meat, fiber and milk.
4. Do you have a partner or are you doing this alone?
A partner would be nice, but I have not found the one who wants to retire to work on a farm in
Alberta. Know anyone?
