About this property

Welcome to the most beautiful area of British Columbia with the largest bald eagle population in the world. From our property we literally see eagles soaring over the mountain tops every single day. And it’s a paradise for wildlife photography, too!

Our 2 bedroom Garden suite is a perfect get-away for people, who want to relax and reconnect with nature. We are just 15 minutes away from Harrison Hot Springs, only 25 minutes to the Sasquatch Ski resort, 5 minutes from the world-class Sandpiper golf course, Chehalis River, different Salmon hatcheries, many awesome lakes, and we are right at the foot of Woodside Mountain from where you can take paragliding with an experienced instructor over the beautiful Fraser Valley.

The suite is located in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood and has a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and the master bedroom has a very comfortable ‘beauty-rest’ mattress. The entire suite is air-conditioned and has all amenities for you to feel at home.

We also want to mention that we added a comfortable sofa bed to the living room in (common space) which can easily sleep 2 additional people.

A large covered patio allows you to sip your coffee or have breakfast outside even when it’s raining and you have awesome views from every point and window. The kitchen is stocked with complimentary coffee, tea and spices, and when in season, you can help yourself with lettuce and herbs from our urban organic garden.

Free parking is available, and we greet you at arrival and try to be as helpful as possible during your stay with whatever information is needed.

Of course, we expect everybody to respect our house rules, which are not too many. No drinking, partying, smoking or taking drugs to keep our environment clean.

Last not least, on request and for an extra fee of $20/person we can prepare a German breakfast with our own homemade organic jams and one of our super-delicious egg dishes, or for a small contribution of $20 we can stock the fridge with farm fresh eggs, granola, yogurt and milk.

Let’s communicate to make sure we are the right place for you. Come and see!

We offer for the month of October and November customized eagle tours, please ask host for details.
As photographers we produced a 10 minute youtube for you to watch here:

Wonderfully Private and cozy!

Everything was 5 stars!!! Top to bottom! Really was an enjoyable stay! The host is amazingly communicative and they have gone out of their way to create a cozy private space in their home with this suite. To call it a suite is a bit of an understatement as this place is really quite large! All the amenity's you could desire and more! And What a view! Great place!

Lovely Accommodations

We enjoyed our stay very much. The accommodations were beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils we needed to prepare a meal. Very comfy beds. We appreciated the shampoos and lotions available in the bathroom as well. My husband and I spent a lot of time sitting out on the patio and admiring the lovely garden. The traffic was a bit loud at times, but it didn't distract from the beautiful views.

Amazing stay!

The place is lovely and has everything you need. Dorothea is an amazing host and really made sure we feel like home during our stay. We had our 1.5 yo with us during the trip, Dorothea even prepared a box of toys for him to play! We’ll definitely come back again. Kelly

Amazing private suite in the mountains

This is honestly one of the best homes I have stayed in. Dorothea is super nice and welcoming. Their first floor is fully furnished as a 2 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, living room, and full kitchen, and independent from the rest of their home for complete privacy. Each of the rooms looks out over their luscious garden and the forested mountains behind where eagles migrating from Alaska nest in November and the winter months. The patio and garden is yours to enjoy as well. This is a well-landscaped property and is a piece of paradise. I highly recommend anyone staying here to request the German breakfast at least one night during your stay. This is an elaborate breakfast that Dorothea served us upstairs in her kitchen. Meats, cheeses, breads, home-baked bread, home-made jam, perfectly cooked soft boiled egg, müsli with fresh, local blueberries and strawberries, organic juice, coffee, tea. Dorothea mostly buys in-season food from local, organic farmers markets, so you're getting the healthiest food while you're on vacation. The filtered mountain spring water here is amazing. Definitely bring a water bottle with you and take some with you. Dorothea is a warm, inviting, generous host. If there's anything you need, just ask. She was quick to respond to our request to stay with her and quick to respond to our questions. 5 star host, 5 star house, 5 star location. Will definitely be staying here again on our next BC trip.

Peaceful Getaway in the Mountains

The Garden Suite is secluded and private even though it is attached to the main house. It is extremely clean and comfortable, with great beds and soft linens. The living room and tv are very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners on the patio. Dorothea’s garden is a beautiful foreground for the soaring mountains beyond. Dorothea and Burkhard are wonderful hosts. They are very kind and generous, and gave us many ideas for activities in the surrounding area. They are also excellent photographers. This is the first VRBO we have stayed in that has original art on the walls. We highly recommend the Garden Suite!

Splendid stay in beauty and comfort

It is wonderful to have one's own place completely and comfortably furnished with all the tools to cook all your own meals. But to have such a gorgeous view and a lovely garden and one's hosts a staircase or phone call away is the cherry on top.

Quiet scenic get-a-way with a lovely host

The property is a little out of the way, but well worth the drive. The host, Dorothea, was super helpful and a pleasure to talk to. The place was decorated tastefully and has a fantastic view of the mountains where you can see your friends paragliding. We all enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful place to stay

Dorothea was a pleasure to book and communicate with, she was quick to respond and very accommodating to host the specific needs for my family. The suite was beautiful, just as pictured with very nice and comfortable beds and a GORGEOUS backyard to look out on. Great neighborhood that I felt very comfortable and safe walking around with my kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and the tv was very easy to use. We were very happy with our stay and definitely recommend. Many thanks!

Great Getaway - Room With a View!

Pleasant, modern, clean, & comfortable. We were looking for an opportunity to relax, visit with friends, while also having access to recreational opportunities. It was a quick 15 minute drive to whatever we wanted. This fit our expectations perfectly! The neighborhood was gorgeous and quiet. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely book this location again.

It was an incredible place, both the house itself and the location. We had a great time meeting our host, Dorothea, and loved her delicious German breakfast! She had some great suggestions that made our experience much better than we had planned. We are already discussing our next trip there to see the eagles...thanks, Dorothea!

Absolutely perfect!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying in this beautiful home for five nights with my husband and adult daughter. First of all Dorothea is a sweetheart. She was responsive right from my initial inquiry and followed through until our departure. The charming 2 bedroom guest suite is on ground floor of her home. It offers stunning views and privacy. It is beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, fully equipped, comfortable, quiet and welcoming. Dorothea’s home is located in a small subdivision of Harrison Mills. My daughter and I took advantage of its rolling hills as we jogged through the very safe and friendly community where neighbors greeted us with a wave or a smile. We thought the location was perfect - very close to Harrison Hot Springs & Agassiz and within a reasonable distance of Mission, Chilliwack and Abbottsford. Thank you for your hospitality Dorothea! When our travels bring us back to B.C. we definitely will be reaching out to you!

A lovely stay in Agassiz

The suite in Dorothea's home is clean, new and filled with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The beds are comfortable and cozy. The neighbourhood is new and situated on a hillside which offers some spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. I was expecting something a little more remote (which is what I was looking for) but this worked out just fine. It was also a bit more of a drive to Harrison Hot Springs than I expected, but again, the generous, kind host made up for any shortcomings. I would absolutely come back with my family. Thank you for sharing your home!

Beautiful Apartment--Very Gracious and Helpful Hosts

The downstairs apartment was like new, spacious and exceptionally "homey". Our hosts, Dorothea and Burkhard, are wonderfully warm people who never stopped being helpful from the time we booked until our departure. We were especially impressed with the the many thoughtful amenities, such as a fridge stocked with bread, butter, jam and juice for that first breakfast after arriving late the night before! My grandson and I couldn't have been more pleased with our lodging choice.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothea Kraas

We are married for 50 years, retired, free-lance photographers; and we live here since April 2016, when we decided to create a legal suite to host guests, who love nature and wildlife, being away from the huzzle and buzzle of the cities to reconnect with nature.

Why they chose this property

After selling our property in the city, we were searching for a property, and fell right away in love with this home because of the spectacular views from every window and because it's brand-new. We didnt want another house where we had to start renovating, but we just wanted to move in and enjoy. We hadn't been in this area before, and were just driving around and there it was!

What makes this property unique

The views from this private suite are beautiful. You can enjoy the covered deck or the little garden area and snatch some of the garlic and kales from the garden beds for your smoothies, of course, when in season. While I am writing this, everything is covered in snow.
In the video section is a little youtube, that we produced from photos of this area, some of them we shot right from our deck.
