What a treat to get to stay and appreciate this piece of living history so lovingly cared for by delightful people. We thoroughly enjoyed perusing all the books and artifacts, cuddling up on the porch with the wood stove and listening to the gramophone. Thank you.

What another wonderful time in our favorite place. Feels like home and you two, Bev, Fraser, are the salt of the earth. It is wonderful land, peaceful here, and we can’t wait to be back.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. The Bunn house is truly one of our favorite places and we are already looking forward to when we will be back next time.

As usual our time here has been beyond wonderful. We can’t thank you both enough for your warmth and hospitality throughout. It’s always a pleasure to be at the Bunn house.

Is always a pleasure to see you both and spend another amazing Thanksgiving at the funhouse. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Bev & Fraser. Can’t wait until next year.

We had the most wonderful trip! Staz bought us here as a birthday gift / trip and it was outstanding. The property is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The home is full of history; the land is overflowing with beauty and the and warm hospitality is unmatched.

Thank you for keeping history alive for future generations. As a young Metis person, I’m blown away. We’ll be back without a doubt.

A unique and beautiful place to stay. Like staying in a museum where you can touch everything. Hosted a family dinner here. We were 12 people in the historic dining room. Grateful to have been able to stay at this property. Would recommend to all.

Thank you for your hospitality. Our favorite parts were listening to the rain while sitting in the porch, walking the leaf covered trails, and breakfast together in the morning.

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 and the screen porch was my favorite place to relax. The hosts are terrific, and you can see how much they love this property.

September 10-13, 2025

We thank you for the peaceful stay and we look forward to returning in the future.

Thank you, 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.

What a wonderful place for our family to stay when attending a wedding at E Selkirk. Nice and quick drive home. Loved my morning coffee down at the Red River watching the osprey, eagles frogs and boats.

Thank you.

Great location, only 5 minutes from Selkirk. Lots of room, great yard, a very interesting property with great hosts. Extra special touch was the gluten free cookies and brownies for our grandson.

What a trip back in time! Such a fun stay for children (and adult) history buffs. As long as you’re comfortable with the quirks of a 170-year-old house, you’ll absolutely love it.

July 16-22, 2025

Had a great stay, boys loved the house and the grounds. Bev and Fraser were excellent hosts. Thanks for the hospitality

One of the most historic places in Manitoba. You could spend the entire day. Just walking around the property. The property owners are amazing and supply you with a great breakfast. Plus access to pretty much anything you need for your stay.

What a wonderful place, so glad it is available to the public! Thank you Bev & Fraser. Kathy and I had a wonderful anniversary weekend! And without our kids! Lovely day at Birds Hill – cycled the loop, swam at the West beach and then a great meal at Pine Ridge hollows. Wonderful.

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 again for your kindness and hospitality. It was lovely to meet you and to be able to stay here.

Great place to stay.

Wonderful house to spend a few days. I stayed with my dog; the trails were beautiful. It was so nice to have all the breakfast food available in the kitchen to make my own food.

Thank you, Bev and Fraser. Your gracious and kind hospitality was much appreciated and notable. The extra breakfast food and your caring was wonderful as it made our stay very enjoyable. The cottage was everything you said it was; historic, rustic and welcoming!

Bev, I think you are honest and forthcoming and very approachable person that made the stay very memorable thank you again.

PS The dogs kept growling at one area in the living room, perhaps the ghosts. (Edit – likely at the leopard rug stored there?)
