Sixteen guests are easily accommodated in these spacious rooms. Group retreats, family reunions, or those seeking an enticing rural escape can bask in this enticing setting.
With a multitude of scenic level building and development sites, the imagination can provide the stimulus, whether a guest ranch, campground, boarding, golf course, bed and breakfast, hobby farm or agriculture purposes, and more.

The greater Grand Forks area presents a melting pot of cultures, built upon layers of First Nations, pioneers, immigrants, prospectors, farmers, teachers, and artists.
The great copper boom of the late 20th century established Grand Forks. The roots of the story took hold with the arrival of the Doukhobors. Escaping tyranny in Eastern Europe and Russia in the late 20th century, the group first emigrated to Saskatchewan and then to Grand Forks. It was here where their communal way of living flourished on farms surrounding the city. The Doukhobors called this land Fructova, “the fruit of the valley.”
