Hawkes Hill is a fully equipped two bedroom suite adjacent to, but fully independent of, the owner’s home. The suite is full of sunlight and looks out over the Columbia River valley and the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rockies to the east. Our guests tell us we have the million dollar view. To the north we overlook a wooded meadow perfect for cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and easy walks or hiking during the rest of the year.

The suite sleeps four comfortably. The master bedroom features a queen size bed. The second bedroom has two twins. (PLEASE SEE FEE NOTE BELOW.)

A large spacious living area off the bedrooms and bathroom makes up the rest of the suite and combines a kitchen and sitting area with a wood stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils. Wi-Fi is available as well as satellite tv.

Price listed is for two people using one bedroom. For a 3rd and 4th person, add $25/night per person each.

PLEASE NOTE: our basic fee is calculated for two people sharing the same room. If two people wish to use both rooms for their comfort, please confirm with us before booking. Using both rooms increases our cleaning load and cost so we need to add a $25/stay fee when two people using both bedrooms. Otherwise we do not charge a cleaning fee. Thanks.

Minimum two night stay, however the constant feedback we receive from our guests is that they wished they had booked for at least three nights or more.

We live in the main house adjacent to the suite and are accessible if the need arises. We love meeting guests and hearing about their lives and travels, but we also respect a mutual need for privacy. For your arrival we have stocked the kitchen with tea, coffee fixings, cooking oil and some condiments to make you welcome.

We strive to provide a comfortable place for our guests to relax and enjoy their holiday, and we ask that guests are considerate and respectful of our home and beautiful environment. No smoking on the property, please. No parties. Please ask us about bringing your dog. There is a pet fee.
