About the area:
We are approximately 20mins from town (100 Mile House). I suggest getting groceries, or anything else you'll need from town, before coming into Forest Grove, as its usually cheaper in town.

However, if you forgot something on your list, the village of Forest Grove is about a 2min drive from our place. Within our community, you will find:

-a General Store (with most necessities, including alcohol)
-a Hardware Store
-a Legion (take out open Weds, Fri, + Sat for non-members)
-The Dandelion Cafe, open weekends
-Butcher Bob's (literally across the street from us. But heads up, everything is frozen, so buy early if you plan on cooking that evening. Cash only, closed Sundays + Holidays.)
-Farmers Market in the Legion parking lot every Saturday during summer months…Last market is Labour Day Weekend.
-Canada Post Office

Recreation:
The Cariboo is amazing for outdoor adventures, any time of the year. Some of the activities around are Snowmobiling, Skiing (Mt. Timothy), Snowshoeing, Ice Skating on the Lakes, Fishing + Ice Fishing, Hunting, Horseback Riding, Quadding, Boating, Foraging, Hiking, Camping, etc etc etc.

The 2 closest lakes to our place are Ruth Lake + Canim Lake. Both are approx. a 15 min drive, but in different directions. There is often no cell service around the lakes.

Please take your time driving on Canim-Hendrix road, especially in the evening or early mornings. You will often see wildlife in the warmer months. The road can be frosty/snowy/slippery from fall to spring.

A 4x4 vehicle is required for our driveway from Thanksgiving-Easter (ish). We get a lot of snow, in the fall/winter months, + mud in the spring. Our driveway is dirt + gravel.

A few things included in your stay:
-Coffee, Tea, Sugar, + Cream
-Fresh Eggs from our small flock of hens
-Olive Oil + Balsamic Vinegar
-Salt + Pepper

Connectivity:
There is cell service at the cabin. In order to connect to the tv with a laptop, I have included an HDMI cable located in the drawer of the tv table. You should receive the information to wifi access a few days before the reservation is scheduled.

Water:
Please limit your water consumption during the summer + early fall, as we are on a shallow well. Our water is potable and goes through an extensive filtration system. Please do not flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper.

Bug Season:
Generally from June to mid August. Bug spray is recommended! Please keep the doors to the cabin shut to help keep the bugs outdoors. We have screens on all the windows.
