Murphy's Gold Creek Ranch

I sold a business in Toronto and moved West in 1990 and drove all over North America looking for a new place to settle and raise a family.
While camping in the Kootenay's I found this oasis and bought it.
I have raised a family living totally off the grid since and love it.
The water here is so clean and and the air is so fresh is why I stay.
The night sky is so hard to explain it has to be seen to believe.
Come check it out and you will agree.

Babsy's Absolutely Magical Retreat
1 site · Lodging1 acre · Ainsworth Hot Springs, BC
I bought this magical property 13 years ago and I have developed it from beach to mountain with the idea of sharing it with epic humans since day 1.
It is 1 acre of pure natural and artistic bliss. The natural wonders include a massive beach with space for many, a gigantic sling shot, sweet fire pits, comfortable lawn chairs, paddle boards, kayaks, a cedar strip canoe, and many other toys for you to explore. I also have a small fishing boat and 16ft catamaran that I can take guests out on for a small fee.
There are 2 locations that can be rented separately or booked together, however there are also a couple of sites to pitch a tent on. Its like jurassic park here, very tropical and chill. The artful camper boasts of an outdoor spa and deck, BBQ, mini fridge, fantastic lake and mountain views and access and the beach from 10-8pm. The other rental a.k.a. The beach-house comes with an attached outdoor 1950's style kitchen, oudoor on demand shower, outhouse, firepits, lawnchairs, and free use of water vessels. Very, very cool. It is located steps from the water. Truly magical.
