Sasquatch Crossing Eco Lodge B&B

Charles 'Fenn' Pretty homesteaded a section of land (640 acres) in 1890, and in 1924 purchased the adjacent section. The Pretty family was heavily involved in the BC forest industry for nearly 100 years. Originally built as Fenn Lodge in 1903, the existing house (the two previous family residences burned down) was constructed of local lumber and granite, milled and quarried on site. The water-driv

en mill’s supply pipeline was converted in the 1960’s to operate the hydro electric generator which powers the house today
Numerous other residences, barns and logging business related buildings existed on the property over the years only a few stone walls and foundations remain

In the late 1980’s, much of the remaining property, (506 acres which have extremely high fish and wildlife values and borders the Chehalis and Harrison Rivers) was sold to the National Second Century Fund to form the Harrison River Wetland Conservancy. fIn 1995, Ella Pretty sold the house and 87 acres to a couple from Vancouver who restored, renovated and operated as a B&B until purchased by Sts’ailes in 2009. The lovely eighty-seven acre property has a secluded waterfall, (providing green energy 10 months of the year), a creek, an eco-friendly salt water pool, and peaceful meditation labyrinth & trails. The house features nine unique guest rooms with private bathrooms. It includes a library, living room with a fireplace, twenty-four seat dining hall, regulation size billiard table, large gourmet-style kitchen, and meeting rooms: a perfect place for your family or group event or business retreat. Walking trails and gardens areas are on and adjacent the grounds. Bordering the property are the Sts'ailes reserve lands, Nature Trust of BC conservation lands and the Chehalis River Hatchery.
