Deb Wolfe talks about swimming with seals and hiking through the forest on the trail down to Wreck Beach in Vancouver, B.C. Deb shares facts about the incredible Osprey and the very picky female when it comes to mating gifts. Wildfires are displacing people, animals and pets and this is partly due to replanting the wrong trees and using poisons. Deb wants people to know that after Labor Day weekend there will be places at Camp Good Dog for dogs escaping fires and a few rescue dogs who need to find new homes. Please call 604-515-2267. If you have a pet problem or question or guest or topic suggestion, please send it to [email protected]

Deb talks with John Holley & Karen Lee Williams about the guests at Holleyville and how they choose to play and relax when they stay and make memories at the Lake. Big family reunions with 3 generations happen at the Big House which has 5 bedrooms (sleeps 12), and big groups come too; well behaved dogs are welcome on leash. The smaller house sleeps 6. Both Air B&B houses are waterfront lake houses in a country setting. This past July almost every guest saw a bear, spring guests watched a hummingbird feed her babies, and summer guests enjoyed paddling the lake and slough plus special mention goes to a guest who swam every day of her stay at age 86, the matriarch of a big family.

Holleyville is the place for watching nature and enjoying the quiet Zen of the koi ponds and lake when tranquility is what you seek there is space here for walks and calm. You can also find live music at Holleyville with random barn dances, live bands and small campfire singalongs happening often. Holleyville is not only on the migration path of many birds, it’s also on the migration path of visiting talented musicians & singers; Once you stay here, you’ll want to return too.

Watch Eagles, Osprey, red wing blackbirds, swans, ducks, owls and even turkey vultures from the shore or from provided kayaks as you paddle Hatzic Lake and the sleepy calm slough teeming with wildlife. Its impossible to stay at this Air B&B on a 33 acre old tree farm with 900 feet of south facing shorefront and not see the spectacle of nature; from the small hummingbird who built her nest beside the laundry room to the big black bear that visits the berry field you’ll see it all! Hatzic Lake is 90 min E. of Vancouver, 30 min N. of the US border and strategically placed on huge bird migration paths.

Stay here and you are close to the Harrison river for exciting paddles, a 45 min drive to Harrison Hot Springs with a natural public steamy pool, and close to incredible hiking, 5 minutes to Cascade Falls & Trails, 30 min to Bear Mountain for bike trails and Sturgeon sport fishing on the mighty Fraser River which is 850 miles long . Fish Hatzic Lake from the private dock or kayak and you may catch Bullhead, Carp, Chum, Coho, Pink Salmon, Trout, Bass & more. Stay on the tree farm hanging out with the resident friendly donkey & goats watching the Lake Or check out the Old Dewdney Pub (The Church of the Blues), 10 min away for a truly unique experience dancing & listening to Live Music outside in summer.

The largest migration of eagles in the world, 35,000 birds, will be visiting between November -Februrary when the local ski hill Sasquatch Mountain Resort 40 min. away in Hemlock Valley will be open so Holleyville is good for winter too. Hatzic Lake is a key spot on the scenic 7 birder tour.
