After an afternoon walking among the historical buildings of the reclaimed Fort Steele, a RCMP fort…read moreand gold era boom town, we drove across the street and over to this delightful B&B. It's truly a sheep farm, though now converting to a farm for three pet sheep, an older dog, and maybe a few cows. The owners are quite pleasant, and the grandmother is one heck of a terrific cook. The guest room, one of the two, was comfortable, with a full length couch, two well padded easy chairs, and a large coffee table. The kitchen area has a sink, refrigerator, cook top and microwave. There's a small dining table. There might have been AC but good cross ventilation obviated that need.
The hosts are personable and readily made us comfortable, making us immediately feel part of the family.
The setting is delightful: on a knoll high on the back side of the farm, overlooking three natural ponds, a big red barn and an equipment shed. While there a neighbor came by to discuss and plan for an exchange of sheep meat for fresh hay. On the morning we left the men were reducing the sheep herd down to three.
Breakfast was true German, with sausage, rolls, breads, eggs, juice and coffee. All from the farm, the sausage and breads hand made, the eggs fresh, only the juice and coffee from off the farm.
If you're traveling through Fort Steele, take the time to stop and visit, and enjoy this terrific experience.
