## Overview

Welcome to Flyway Farm and Forest.

We are five acres of farm, forests, and gardens, with our front yard facing out on the Columbia River, in the heart of the Pacific Flyway. It is one of the largest migratory bird routes in North America, and a crucial corridor to migratory birds, waterfowl, and shorebirds, extending from Alaska to Patagonia. 

Whether your goal is to connect with the Earth or with people, the Flyway Farm and Forest is the place for you. Located in tiny Spillimacheen BC, this hidden gem will enhance any experience. It has a lot to offer the independent traveller, including beautiful views, hiking, rock-climbing, fishing, mountaineering, and paddling. Ideal for those looking for a base camp for further adventures, or just a quiet get-away off the beaten path. 

Flyway Forest: '79 Vintage Komfort RV, '63 Esta Villa RV, both with electrical service, and a bare campsite between them. Great view of the backside of the Rockies

Flyway Pasture: For small groups looking for a place to pitch their tent, several places are available behind the orchard or in the north forest by special arrangement

Flyway Farmhouse: For those looking for indoor plumbing and a place to recharge their phone, we have three rooms available upstairs in the main house (two queen beds and a single). 

Since we last opened, the goats and chickens have been re-homed. This was necessary during our two-year absence. But no fear, there's lots to do and see if you're the self-motivated adventurer type(s). 

Bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared up at the main house. Dog-friendly. When navigating to our place, please stay on the paved highway. The GPS may want you to come up the back roads, but don't let it fool you. Unless you really like adventure and have the right vehicle. 

Feel free to message us prior to booking if you have any questions!

> My husband and I enjoyed staying in Bernie and Patty’s small trailer. The weather did not want to cooperate, but once the clouds dissipated we got a peekaboo view of surroundings for stunning views. Bernie and Patty were very gracious in sharing the house amenities. Juniper, the friendly dog, liked to join us for walks. Very smart dog!

> First time staying at a HipCamp and what a great experience! We were greeted upon arrival by Juniper the best behaved fluffy white dog who showed us where the humans wash up and cook food before directing us to our tent pad where we would reside for the week. Our hosts made sure we were comfortable the entire duration of our stay and had lots of interesting history tidbits to share. Our adventures for the week included hikes to Diana Lake (Pinnacle Meadows Lodge/Teahouse), Cobalt Lake in Bugaboo Provincial Park, Twin Lakes, Big Fish Lake, Cartwright Lake and several trips to Screamers Ice Crea…

> Flyaway Farm and Forest is a beautiful spot to stay and is so close to so many adventures. We stayed in the little green trailer, which was perfect for my family of 3 to have a spot to rest our heads on our way to our next adventure. It was also very lovely to have an indoor spot to enjoy our coffee and chat with Patti and the other campers. We ran into a highway closure on our way and Bernie was very accommodating for us arriving later than expected and stayed in touch with us to make sure we knew where to go and had what we needed. Patti and Bernie have a wonderful set up and are amazing hos…

> We absolutely loved our stay at Flyway Farm & Forest! Beyond a cozy place to rest and regroup for the next day’s adventure, it was the people who made this experience truly special. We’ll miss having our morning coffee with Juniper, the great evening conversations around the fire pit, and the general warm and welcoming vibe. We will be back!
