Thank you, Fraser and Bev, for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.
The minute we arrived, we felt right at home. We really enjoyed our chats with you and allowing us to entertain my aunt and uncle. We end enjoyed such great conversations around the kitchen table as well as fishing off the bank of the Red River and caught some big catfish.
Bev made some yummy cookies and Fraser shared great stories and advice including what fish bait to use.
Like previous comments – it’s a privilege to be able to stay here and we hope to come back next year and bring some friends so till then, a heartfelt thank you and see you again.

My daughter and I travel to a different province or territory every summer. Let me tell you, Manitoba will be at the top of our list of memories for years to come.
From the minute we walked into this place, we knew we were staying somewhere very special. The history to this place is beyond words. We had such a good time here and really enjoyed staying in a true piece of Canadian history – we played games, we explored, we met many of nature’s friends including a frog AKA “Frogy Frogerten” (a name my daughter gave him).
We can’t thank Bev and Fraser enough for their hospitality and for allowing us the privilege to
experience this hidden gem.

Rose & Brett visited; with daughters Arlo (7), Frances (4), Rose’s parents – Edwin & Margret from Winkler. We made smores at the firepit, played badminton and saw an otter steal a fish from the fishpond (what excitement). Great place to spend the weekend and learn so much about the history that came before us. Thank you.

Bev and Fraser, we always like to discover hidden gems in our backyard of Manitoba and yours is certainly no exception. We have absolutely loved our weekend getaway to the Bunn House. You have quite the treasure here as we have taken some beautiful walks through the former pastures and really enjoyed all the history and charm of the house. My husband and I both love these types of explorations and would like to come back and do some fishing as we didn’t get a chance this time.
Thank you for protecting this legacy and allowing us to share a little slice of it. We loved our stay.

Thank you, Bev and Fraser, for your hospitality. What a beautiful quiet and bright spot to soak up the history and character of the area. We loved the walk to the historic ferry crossing before sunset to take in the river, and the meadow walks on the property. Great local history books around in the house. Donna thoroughly enjoyed the first visit here and Karen, our sister, stays longer each time. We hope to stay again next summer.

Dear Beverly and Fraser,
Thank you so much for keeping this wonderful heritage house open and available to the public. This the latest of multiple stays we’ve made here. This time the connection with our daughters May 2nd wedding at the human rights museum.
As always, we’re really enjoying our stay. We have now grandchildren who really enjoyed exploring the yard, the boys checked the cannon while the girls enjoyed watching the various pelicans on the water. Looking forward to our next stay.

Bev & Fraser – what a wonderful little gem you have here. A BBQ with friends and family who live locally. And all were very impressed, especially our friend David, who is a Manitoba Metis historian. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

Bev & Fraser – we had a wonderful weekend in this incredible historic home. We spent the time outside enjoying the beautiful day. We shot pool, did puzzles, played games with lots of laughs around the kitchen table. Creating memories the five of us will carry forever.
Thank you,

What a delightful place to spend a snowy weekend in January! Many deer were spotted and one rabbit, and luckily for the latter no foxes were seen on this trip.
The activities also included five snowshoe treks, one Agatha Christie mystery read, two board games, one puzzle solved and four happy members of the Livingston family.
January 25, 2026
Bev & Fraser,
We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed snowshoeing around the trails, woke up each morning to deer nesting in the yard and caught sight of Mr. Fox and a jackrabbit too.
The Metis history you preserved here is truly special. 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.

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.

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.

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.
