A step back in Cariboo History with nice walking trails

This was closed when I drove through. It is okay but I didn't feel it had much to offer where barkerville is so close. Want high on my list on enjoyment, but that is just me.

Cottonwood house is a great place to camp! They have little cabins, camp sites, & RV hook ups. Nice, big picnic tables & fire pits and firewood can be purchased. The historic site is really neat to check out. They even have a double barn! This is a place we will definitely stat again.

Closed in 2019.☹☹☹

Don't just drive by this place on your way to Barkerville. This is an adorable historical site and is also brought alive by performers. Take the wagon ride too.

Jennifer Pucek

Lovely alternative to Barkerville if you don't want to do the drive out.

My grandparents literaly live right across this place. Ive got fond memories from there as a kid. Mind you this was several years ago but i feel the charm has not been lost if never had been at all

Sara Schreiner

What a beautifully well maintained historical site! We met Jordan who was working there the day we stopped and he was absolutely fantastic, energetic and knowledgeable! I do wish when we went to Barkerville that they would have mentioned or even suggested a stop here as they are both important historical sites. The cabins are a wonderful addition.

Awesome when its open. Operators run Barkerville historical site as well but neglect the Cottonwood site for profit when both are important historical sites and should be treated as part of a whole rather than which costs more for returns. Cotton wood is necessary not an option to close just cause it's less revenue earning. Shame on the operator I suggest boycott Barkerville until Cottonwood House is open every day Barkerville historical sites is open. Shame

Great piece of history preserved

Ted Ayles

Beautiful site and very well maintained. You can get snacks and plenty of space for kids to run around. Very nice and friendly employees.

I'll be taking my family back there for years to come

David Williams

Well worth seeing with very nice staff. Well taken care of. To my surprise they also have small cabins for overnight stay.

(Translated) Very lively historical place with very nice employees (Original) Sehr libevoll gestalteter historischer Ort mit sehr netten Mitarbeitern

Tracy Telford

Historic family lead. Stay and rent a cabin. Nice walks. Swim in the creek. Pet the farm animals

Heather Jensen

We enjoyed our stay despite having to pay for an extra cabin because their website is out of date and lists the bed number incorrectly. the place was clean and quiet. Don't forget mosquito repellent.

Tanya Minchau

Would be more entertaining if you could go in any of the buildings. Still a nice stop though

(Translated) Simple little place in the middle of the forest. Very nicely located. Each place has wooden tables and benches and a barbecue area. You can get a whole cart full of wood for $ 10. There is no electricity or water. There is a footpath along the road to Baskerville about 2 km (Original) Einfacher kleiner Platz mitten im Wald. Sehr schön gelegen. Jeder Platz hat Holztische und Bänke und einen Grillplatz. Holz bekommt man für 10 Dollar eine ganze Karre voll. Strom und Wasser gibt es nicht. Es gibt einen Fussweg entlang der Strasse bis Baskerville ca. 2 km
