Other Amenities Details
Bedrooms The bedrooms are themed by colour (it's a colourful house.) The Yellow Room has a heritage theme featuring Victoria's grandfathers hooked rugs. It has two twin beds which make into a king bed. The Green Room is crisp and fresh with an oak sleigh bed and suite. It has an eastern exposure and always remains cool and cozy. It has the ambiance of a 'honeymoon suite' and a down duvet available when needed. The ensuite has been completed in the master bedroom featuring a roomy shower for two with a 'river rock' floor. The Orange Room/General Waiting Room, the smallest room with the biggest and best view. It has a double bed facing the lake. It was originally the room of Alvera Bruhn (Patterson), the daughter of Rolf and Sarah Bruhn. Other Rooms The main bathroom on the upper floor contains a large oversized man's tub circa 1940's where a guest can soak in an aromatic candlelit bath and gaze at the cherubs and clouds adorning the ceiling. It is shared with the Orange Room and the Yellow Room. The library/writing room, a former maid's quarters, houses a desk and a small collection of books that the guests are welcome to read. Guests are welcome to share the main floor, which consists of a living room with fireplace and folding French doors, a den with sound system, TV/VCR, a formal dining room, and a long sun porch, where guests usually choose to enjoy their breakfast and the view. The dining room has a working miniature railway with trestles, tunnels and a model of the former CPR Hotel. This runs along window ledges, through the bookend library on each side of the French doors, and above the paintings which adorn the walls. Guests are also welcome to peek in the kitchen, make themselves a cup of tea, and marvel at the working 1924 wood stove. Activities Check out the studio and ask about painting an umbrella or your own placemat to take home. Experience the bomb/fallout shelter. Be part of the history by adding your name to the hundreds already there on the walls of the 'bomb shelter', which was built during the cold war of the 1950's. It is the only such shelter in the area. There is a large patio that overlooks the lake where guests are welcome to breath in the sights and sounds of the Shuswap. Explore the property (check out the grotto in the rock wall), walk down the trail to the lake (at your own risk) and check out the ruins of the former Sicamous CPR Hotel, or walk or bike the historic 6km Old Sicamous Rd.
