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!

Welcome to Radius Retreat — a quiet yurt sanctuary tucked into the mountains, just 2 minutes from Radium Hot Springs. Perched above the Columbia Valley and surrounded by wild forest and conservation land, our off-grid haven offers a chance to slow down and truly settle in.

Our trails meander through the forest and up to the ridge, are are open to wanderers of all kinds — whether you’re here to hike, bike, journal, sketch, or simply breathe. Stargazing is spectacular thanks to the total lack of light pollution, and dogs are always welcome at no charge.
This is a place for people who crave stillness, story, and space — where you can stretch out, feel the rhythm of the land, and reconnect with something quieter.

Weekend Trip to Flyway Farm & Forest
A fantastic place to stay! Bernard and his wife are such lovely people and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The accommodation is warm, cosy, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect, and the friendly atmosphere created by the hosts truly sets this place apart. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to return

After a long day of driving, this was a sight for sore eyes! Bernhard met us as we were parking and gave us a tour of the property, introduced us to a few of the guests and showed us our room.
We felt welcome and safe during our stay and will definitely be back!
*after our stay, the hosts went above and beyond to help locate and return a sentimental blanket we had left behind by mistake. You folks were lifesavers

Katherine is such an amazing host! Our bear spray was accidentally tipped over and it sprayed in the tent and left a stain on the blanket. We did not know that it left stains.
Katherine was cleaning up the tent the next day and got it on the hands and face. She reached out to understand the situation and was not upset. We still feel so bad sorry Katherine! We also forgot our spare keys at the campground and she went to the post office multiple times to figure out how to ship it to us back in the states.
We were troublesome campers but they were very accommodating throughout. The kitchen and shower and toilet were also very clean.
Thank you so much for the experience !

Bernie was a great host. Never have we ever had such a considerate host. He and his sweet dog Junie came out to greet us when we arrived. He gave us a tour and tips on where to explore! He was very accommodating and made us feel comfortable. Never had an experience like this before, an unforgettable stay.

We had an amazing stay! The location is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. We even went on a 6-hour hike and loved coming back to a cozy, comfortable place to relax afterward. The trailer was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. It was the perfect getaway for anyone who enjoys hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality—we highly recommend this place and would love to come back again!

We loved staying on the quieter side of the Rockies, away from the crowds! Katherine and Adrian were attentive and checked in with us in person to make sure we were settled. The setting is just stunning— on the slope of the Kootenays and looking out over the Columbia River basin and the Bugaboos across the valley. Very peaceful place! They were thorough and thoughtful in laying out the tent sites, the fire pits, the covered kitchen area, and the other amenities. We had a magical stay at the Back Forty, and I hope to return some day!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience staying at the Glamping Couples Yurt. We were immediately struck by the amazing style and comfortable setup. It had all the necessary amenities and much more. It's perfect use of the natural space. We would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a camping experience with the bonus of a comfortable bed with a deluxe cottagey feel. 10/10!

Weekend Trip to Flyway Farm & Forest
We stayed at the 79 vintage comfort trailer during the May long weekend. The trailer was pretty cozy and clean, it had a heater which kept us warm at night.
Bernhard is very welcoming and helpful host. He supplied us with fresh firewood, and shared some interesting stories and history about the place.
Overall, very peaceful place, away from the city noise, it has great views and great company (Bernhard and his super cute dog Juni)

We had a lovely time at Flyaway Farm and Forest! Bernhard was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The view from the trailer is amazing. I would recommend bringing warm clothes, slippers and sleeping bags as the nights were a bit chilly even with the heater going in the trailer.
