About this property

An outdoor lover's pastoral & mountain view escape

We can only describe this place as idyllic. Forest on one side, horses on the other and meadows below the stream that runs through the bottom of the garden. Wildlife thrives here. You may discover mink, otters, owls, hawks, herons, crayfish and more. The surroundings make it the perfect place to relax after a day of mountain hiking!
Mossy Rock is a cozy suite on the lower level of our 4100 sf Villa on the hillside of Ryder Lake, BC.
The cozy suite takes up half of the garden level of the house. We reside in the other half and the top floor. We are two adult couples and two small dogs
The 20 x 40 foot pool is an oasis during the summer heat waves! (The pool and it's hot tub are closed October 1st to May long weekend) The second hot tub is under the sundeck, overlooking the property with mountain views is always available, heated year round!
The barbeque and dining table are under the cover of the sun deck, near the hot tub, for those rainy days of autumn.

A perfect mountain break

The place is amazing. You wake up to mountain views, can soak in the hot tub and then go for a walk and just slow down. Great getaway to reset from fast paced city life. Very spacious and has all amenities

The suite is spacious and clean and the pastoral property is a feast for the eyes. I enjoyed seeing the neighbour's horses and cows graze right at the fence line. Every evening wpe enjoyed the fenced outside pool and hot tub and had so much fun throwing a ball for our dog while we swam because he could be free to play. The hosts gave us lots of privacy but replied right away to any questions. They even saved the day by giving me milk for coffee in the morning when I realized I had forgotten mine. Overall a perfect place to relax and dog friendly too!

Absolutely stunning property with beautiful view! !

Excellent 11/10 While the canines enjoyed the brook and chasing each other on endless grass, the rest of us enjoyed the fantastic swimming pool, hot tub, and barbecues. Evenings watching the sun go down behind the mountain view, with a glass of wine and the warmth of the gas fire pit, made for a perfect end to a perfect day! Highly recommend!!!!!

Mountain View Bliss

My wife and I and our kids (9 & 3) absolutely loved our stay. Paul and Carola were gracious and accommodating hosts. The home and grounds are stunning. To top it off my daughter was in heaven in the gorgeous pool. The area is beautiful mountainous farmland with nearby trails, lakes and parks. We will definitely be returning.

Staycation families dream about!

This property is amazing! Views from the pool and jacuzzi will have you believing you’re in your own private park. The gorgeous flowers, greenery and Mountain View’s are breathtaking. The outdoor seating poolside with the bbq is awesome for summer cooking. The inside suite is well equipped for multiple guests. The hosts are amazing. Always available, but never intrusive. A true home away from home!

Awesome vacation

Our stay at Carola's place was absolutely amazing. The suite was so spacious and fully equipped with everything we could every need. The pool and hottub was beautiful and very much enjoyed by everyone in our group. The view overlooking the country side and mountains was never tiring. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway if you need a break from your routine. Carola and Paul are great hosts and respond instantly to any questions or requests. Would not hesitate to stay here again if we return to the Chilliwack area

Perfect place for a family getaway.

We had a fantastic time at Carola’s home. The space was perfect for our family and two dogs. Tons of property to explore and run around. Carola was super prompt with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. We will be keeping this place earmarked for future trip.

HI, I am the owner of a homebased quilting and sewing business. The size of the house allows us to share it with families who want to get away to something different. This place feels like a private resort. We thought you'd like to experience it too
