Raising a step back in time! Great fun looking through history! Really enjoyed the campfires, the trails and the breakfast items, the yard, the fire pit and the fish pond. The breakfast spread was impressive and surprised me!
This house is full of antiques it was like stepping back in time. When wandering the property there are more items to see. I think I saw a thresher. I spent some time ogling that captured German gun too. I was hoping for more wildlife but saw an eagle. The steel mill was making noise which was a disappointment I was hoping for a quiet state. The bed was comfy the screen porch was my favorite place to relax. The hosts are terrific, and you can see how much they love this property.
Wed, May 15–Fri, May 17, 2025
Just wonderful, a historic home filled with antiques and books. Loved reading and looking at the pictures of the history of the house.

Thankyou Fraser and Bev for your generous and kind hospitality. This is indeed a magical place, full of special history in every nook. It was fantastic that Peter and Fraser shared special memories while working together over 2 decades ago in the Eastern Region of Manitoba in various agricultural pursuits.
We will cherish this time in our memory book named “relaxing and sweet”. Our daughter who came for a visit was equally enthralled. May you both continue to be host and hostess for many years to come.
God bless to you for your efforts

The hosts are wonderful. I loved the historical aspect that is honored at the Bunn House. I have emphysema that responded to the mustiness. I do not think anyone else reacted like I did so it is probably it is not a concern for most people. I recommend this stay for most folks with the caveat that people with COPD may be affected.

Thank you so much for letting Pam and I stay here stay here. Walking the trails behind the house and sitting on the dock to watch the sunset were the truly magical experiences. It was incredible to hear about the Stewart family history and Pam’s childhood spending time here. It made me very grateful for this spectacular way fate Has unfolded to find us meeting in elementary school and still friends over a decade later.
As for the birds, we saw a whole flock of American white Pelicans several unidentified Canada geese with their babies a handful of what was quite possibly a bald eagle!

Thank you for providing such an amazing historical B&B for us and so many other guests. It has been a very relaxing, fun filled and educational weekend. Our two-year old grandson was thrilled to examine all the “old stuff “in the house and play with many of the games. He particularly loved the Domino’s and found many ways of playing. The breakfast food was great and the well- equipped kitchen a joy to cook in. Very interesting to find out that we have a Scottish-Irish connection with Fraser and have both been in Cushendall in Northern Ireland .
Will look forward to coming again Carol Ann and Robert Coish

Most unique Christmas ever, for our family! We enjoyed taking this time to do something different for our children as we all experienced Christmas traditions in an historical setting . We all love the “living museum” feel of the Bunn house and how wonderfully it has been preserved and cared for. We dined with fine China and read up on the Bunn family and Metis history all the while sipping on hot cider around the cozy parlour fire listening to beautiful tunes at times gone by on the Edison Victrola. We will “definitely recommend” this place of exploration and historical relevance to friend and family.
Great memories were made here , our thanks to Bev & Fraser for opening their home to us this Christmas !!
Blessings – the Andrews family from Kleefeld. Ash, Kim Rori, Jordan, Ephraim & Lian
December 16th to 18th
This is the perfect season to come back to the Bunn house. We feel loved and rejuvenated by our time in this historical Oasis. We can’t wait to come back again. The take -way for this trip was having a fire in the wood stove on the porch in the snow storm with snacks and a recitation of the cremation of Sam McGee. A perfect Christmas memory

Bev and Fraser were lovely hosts. The house itself was brimming with culture and history. It was like staying in an authentic home with tons of incredible artifacts. It may even be the quintessential Manitoba historic accommodation experience as I can’t imagine anything else coming close. The house was bigger than we were expecting and had more amenities than I would have imagined. Very generous and thoughtful hosts. And we explored the sprawling extensive ground. So much to see. What more could you really ask for.

Thankyou Bev and Fraser from Jacquie and Gary – Brandon Manitoba.
Decades have passed since our shared involvement in the Selkirk dolphin swim club. Many of those memories still linger on today such as the commitment of parents like yourselves being the success of the club. Our stay in your amazing Bunn house has been reminiscent of our own historic farm in the RM of St Clements which has sadly been demolished by new owners. It is very relevant that you and the Historical Society have deemed it important to preserve your amazing property and its contents. The charm and character of this wonderful edifice only exceeded by our wonderful hosts!

Splendid! We had a beautiful time at the Thomas house. So much to see and appreciate they provided us with plenty of food for delicious breakfast. We love visiting the alpacas now, walking on the trails, firepit, fishing, sunroom and looking at heritage books and stuff full of history. It is a very cozy and inviting place. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Every little corner of the house inside and outside as something to enjoy and learn.

A magical place to reflect and recharge. Each newly discovered treasure filled us with appreciation for craftmanship. Many happy hours were spent in the screened porch- reading visiting and contemplating. Thanks so much

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the barn house. Wandering through the historical artifacts and books or was a pure delight! As well we’re lucky to watch the alpacas being shaped such a delightful mix of fun activities and interesting history. Had a wonderful time! Thank you so much. It was great to be back in Manitoba and enjoying the Thunderstorms and warm weather. We loved the Walking paths, and reading the very interesting books.
Thank you so much for a lovely trip! Hope to be back again soon
