About this property

Character farmhouse set in beautiful countryside

This picturesque farmhouse is a residence graced by an awe-inspiring view of the North Saskatchewan river, breathtaking ravine and the surrounding countryside. This 112-year-old homestead has been refinished and filled with vintage touches as a tribute to the nostalgia and comfort that “Grandma’s House” can bring. Enjoy the land with wildlife watching and hiking to the river, fishing and canoeing. Cozy up to the fire pit and listen to the snap crackle into the night or fill the house with laughter as you play board games together. Also a cozy cabin with a real wood fire. There is an event space that is available for Rustic small weddings or family gatherings etc. at an additional charge depending on the event. Have a look at a short film made there.

What an amazing property! It was a perfect long weekend getaway for two families with one teenager each. Check in was pretty small town - we showed up and staff were there and the house was open. The kitchen had everything we needed and rooms were comfortable. We ate outdoors most of the time. No need to leave the property — lots of room to hike and explore.

Experience the Past

A marvelous trip back in time. A beautiful setting and an incredible old spirited home. A wonderful place to photograph birds! We suggest having someone clean all the dishes and appliances even if they are just for show. Also the smell of mildew downstairs. Otherwise a great stay at a very unique place.

5/5 – Perfect Spot for a Celebration!

We had my sister’s ring ceremony here with around 40–50 guests, and the property was amazing. The main house, cabin, party area, and saloon were all well-kept and spacious. The trail to the river with a cozy cabin along the way was a lovely bonus. Beautiful views all around — we recommend staying 3–5 days to fully enjoy everything. Great place just outside Saskatoon!

Getting acquainted happily

It is a beautiful location along the North Saskatchewan River, with the wooded hills rolling beyond the other shore. The property features a deep, lush ravine, at the bottom of which a creek has been turned into a series of lagoons by beavers. Now that spring has arrived, many migratory birds can be heard. We could stay only one night, but felt relaxed and inspired by the experience.

quiet, beautiful, comfortable, relaxing

We have stayed here several times now. It's a much anticipated get-away for us. Once again, a great stay in a beautiful location. Always enjoy the wildlife as well. This time many deer and three moose. Nice hikes along and into the river valley too. There are many different spaces to explore on the property and enjoy. We'll be back.

Genuinely was like Christmas at Grandma’s House

We were 2 family groups from out of province and had other family members come out for dinner. TLDR: No hesitation to recommend for a group if the area works for you! The house itself and the host were very hospitable, the weather less so with a cold snap limiting outdoor activities. Bedrooms range from B and B antiquey style to utilitarian but all had very comfortable beds and linens. Living space was charmingly decorated for the holidays, and the kitchen was very practically equipped and highly functional for making real meals with enough plates - cutlery for a group. There are many other buildings on the property that we peeked into during our brief -26 degree forays out that look like they’d be fun for larger parties in better weather. Saw deer, a snowy owl, an eagle, and grouse on the way into Saskatoon (which 40 min drive including 20 km on grid road that took 20 min). Fantastic sunsets and views.Note - the cost is higher than it initially appears when searching the site because the host fees actually exceeded the nightly cost by a good margin, but overall still good value for the experience.

Excellent location for murder mystery party

I rented grandma's house and the granary for one night to hold my annual Halloween murder mystery dinner party. It was the perfect setting for our apres ski theme. I was able to arrive early to setup and had the least stressful pre-party day ever! The granary easily fit my 35 friends for the cocktail hour, sit down dinner, and dance party that followed! We had plenty of room to store and heat up food between the kitchen in the house and the extra fridge in the granary. Jarvis is a wonderful host and very accommodating, a very special guy. Let me mess with the breakers in the granary for my 'murder" and let me tour the property multiple times to ensure everything was in order for the event. Everyone who wanted to stay the night at the venue was able to thanks to the ample room in the house!! Every space is lovingly restored and Jarvis has an amazing eye for design with beautiful antiques and quirky vintage pieces everywhere. After 7 years of this party in every space imaginable, I may permanently use this venue as it was everything we needed.

Beautiful facility for our Trail Ride

Jarvis has a beautiful property. We hosted our first annual Trail Ride and the property was above and beyond our expectations. We had approx 30 riders each day. They pulled in Friday night with their rigs and had ample parking to camp over night. Jarvis had a big water tub and 4 pens available for our horses. His Cowboy Campfire area was the perfect blend of rustic & comfortable. We had a lovely potluck supper Saturday night. Jarvis neighbors came and made us home made doughnut and rolkucken. The trail we rode during the day offered a spectacular view of the river valley. Jarvis had even cleared trails down to the river for the more adventurous riders. Mother Nature blessed us with beautiful weather and the sky was painted with breathtaking North Lights both nights. This facility would be perfect for those that want to bring quads or ATVs or snowmobiles in the winter. The house is charming and comfortable. I would highly recommend this to property to anyone.

Lovely Getaway

My husband, two kids and puppy had a great time! It was nice to submerge ourselves in nature. We loved Jarvis' new "cowboy bbq" area the most... we had a fire in the evening in this area and it was magical. This would be a great place for any event in the county, big or small. Thanks for having us!
