Our B&B

Here are a few views from, of and in our home in Slocan Park, British Columbia, plus some comments on the breakfasts and amenities that we offer our guests:

	Crebbin Falls, left, (the vanishing falls) in May, tumbling down Slocan Ridge. The falls varies in size throughout the year, depending on the weather, sometimes disappearing entirely for a few weeks in the late summer and early fall, or even in full flood, as in June, 2011, at right.
	(Left) the back of our home in December, with the Crebbin Falls, frozen, above on majestic Slocan Ridge. (Right) another winter view, this time in January.
	Our cozy sitting room looks out on Slocan Ridge, and is furnished with reference materials on local outdoor activities and nearby restaurants, as well as a TV and DVD player, Wii, magazines, books and games.
	This is our dining room, where we offer a variety of teas or fresh-ground coffee, along with two delicious breakfast options (different each day): a full hot gourmet breakfast served with fresh fruits in season, juices, cereal and wholesome baked goods a healthy choice breakfast, including protein fruit smoothies and home-made granola.
