## Overview

Paradise on the Mighty Fraser River surrounded by woodland gardens you will find a secluded heated cabin with 160 ft of the waterfront view. A place to get back to nature.

Sit on the deck and watch the river flow as you sip locally made coffee or taste the local breweries' craft beer. Catch a glimpse of the wildlife, bear, dear, eagles and otters across the river. Bring your binoculars. Sit on the deck and enjoy the propane fire pit and watch the river flow by. enjoy the peacefulness of the woods and wake up to the birds singing around you. This is Glamping at its finest!

The cabin is located in Hope, BC. Hope is well-known as the gateway to British Columbia's interior and to the Lower Mainland part of the Fraser Valley. Between the Coast Mountain Range and the Cascade Mountain Range, this hub of southern BC highways makes Hope a readily accessible destination from which to explore some of the most beautiful and dramatic BC wilderness.

We also offer an on site massage therapist for booking.

All my products are made here on the property in my studio and are available for purchase. Please find a binder and brochures in the cabin highlighting the many activities and attractions in our beautiful Fraser Canyon.  Bring binoculars to watch the wildlife across the river. The PropertyMagnolia Cottage on the Fraser River is located north of the town of Hope, BC – in Dogwood Valley just off Highway #1 in the Fraser Canyon. You will experience a little bit of paradise in a small rustic cabin surrounded by woodland gardens with 160 feet of river frontage and beach access at low tide. Enjoy the deck with a propane fire pit or the wood fire pit when permitted. The path to the cabin takes 1 minute and is a forest path so please wear appropriate footwear for a small hike to the cottage. PrivacyPlease respect my privacy and stay within your outdoor area and river frontage. If you would like a tour of my studio and animals that can be arranged. There is a trail down to the river and it is steep. Please be careful the river is deep and is referred to as “The Mighty Fraser” for a reason. Once you pass the large cedar trees on the bank it is considered Crown Land. There are many trails to beaches where you can go and enjoy the water.
- KitchenThe cabin is stocked with essentials for a comfortable stay. Coffee machine with coffee, teas, powdered cream and sugar. There is no running water in the cabin but you will find a large bottle of water with a pump for drinking and cooking water. There is a fridge, microwave, BBQ, kettle and coffee pot.  No cooking inside the cabin except to use the microwave.  You will find cups, plates and cutlery on the shelve and in the drawers. This is complementary and you must wash and dry your own dishes.   Please use the cutting board and not cut directly on the tables. Beside the cabin you will find a sink for your use to clean any dishes you use. You can get hot water from the shower in the small green bowl and bring it to the big sink.  You will get a bundle of wood per night and if you need more please ask as there is a fee.  WaterWe are on well water which is known to be the best water in the world, so it is safe for drinking. RecyclingDO NOT leave food or garbage outside. This area of the Fraser Canyon is home to many different species of wildlife, including bears. I prefer that everyone live together in harmony while maintaining a respectable distance. “A fed bear is a dead bear”. Beside the cabin there is a garbage can and recycling bin for bottles and cans. Please ensure the lid on the garbage can is secure. BathroomThe bathroom is an outdoor hot water on demand shower that is behind the cabin. The toilet is a compost toilet. Instructions for use of the composting toilet are also on the wall.Men must sit down to pee – You will have towels in the cabin with your handmade soap and washcloths. The leftover soap is yours to take home if you like. There are dispensers on the shower wall with organic body-wash, shampoo and conditioner. Please do not take the towels to the beach.  Please bring your own towels for day excursions. Wi-Fi is available.  Password....Bigfoot24869 BeddingIf you need a fresh set of sheets they are available upon request. There is also an extra cot available upon request           if needed for a fee.  Please strip the bed and put the linen and towels in the basket in the room.  Thank you. TrainsTrains in the Fraser Canyon are part of what makes the region so unique and leads to so much of the history of the area. They still play an integral role in transporting goods through our province and across the nation. Train whistles are employed at crossings and can be heard throughout the day and evening. Should you not grow accustomed to the whistles ear plugs are available.

> I loved the cabin and its energy. It is even more beautiful in pictures than in person. The host was very friendly and her dogs and cats were cute and ready to be pet. The landscape looks like a postal card. Strongly recommended!

> Michele has a kind heart and her animals are as sweet as pea. Very relaxing. Plenty of wildlife activity to watch on the river (bears, jumping sturgeon, osprey carrying fish). And it’s a short drive into Hope from the cabin.

> We had the most magical weekend at BigFoot BnB. Perfect mornings with Michele's warm bread & coffee looking out onto the mighty Fraser and cozy afternoons reading by the fire enjoying a BBQ. Thank you Michele for this perfect getaway - all of your cozy, welcoming touches were so appreciated! (P.S. this is a perfect spot to get engaged!)

> You have to have the cobbler jam!!!! Hands down the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth along side Michelle’s homemade artisan bread. The landscape is beautiful watching sturgeon jumping out of the water, hearing wolves and seeing the occasional bear across the river right in the back yard. Highly highly recommended.
