18 Mile Ranch rests on Canadian Gold Rush History

Step into history at 18 Mile Ranch, where the echoes of the 1858 BC Gold Rush still whisper through the land. Once traversed by 30,000 gold miners in search of fortune, this historic property holds the very trails that led pioneers to the legendary Barkerville. Walk the original mining road, where miners, horses, and cattle once tread, or venture to the remnants of an 1880s Chinese gold mine, where artifacts from a bygone era still remain. These storied trails, just steps from the farmhouse, offer a rare and immersive journey through Canada's rich past—perfect for history enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

With 220 acres of breathtaking wilderness, adventure awaits at every turn!

Beyond the historic hiking trails, enjoy exclusive access to a private beach on the Fraser River—perfect for beachside bonfires and sizzling BBQs under the open sky. Immerse yourself in nature with unparalleled wildlife watching, where you might spot majestic deer, playful coyotes, diverse birdlife, and even the occasional black bear—from a safe and awe-inspiring distance. For those who love the water, cast a line and experience some of the best fishing right from the river’s edge. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, this ranch offers the ultimate escape into nature.

    “Loved this unique accomodation, it’s in the middle of the mountains with the river running along.
    You can see the stars at night and hear the animals at night. Perfect if you’re going to rafting the next day.
    I highly recommend and have already told my friends about this place!”

    “modern style and comfort meets back country property. very comfortable and set up perfect. Book a few nights minimum to get to your the property and enjoy the experience. Deer hanging out on the property, the sound of the river echos up from the valley and a property worker on site to ensure everything is as it should. very friendly and will give you as much privacy as needed or be willing to give you a tour and share stories of the history of the place. Will make it a stop the next time we come through... will go out of my way to make it happen! The views and location are incredibly peaceful. gorgeous place!”

    “This was a wonderful opportunity and very pleased we chose to stay here. Would come back in a heart beat. If you are up for a good walk, the adventure down to the river is phenomenal. So peaceful, beautiful scenery and the hosts were great. The house kitchen was well stocked with beautiful appliances and outdoor kitchen was appreciated for the BBQ feast we had.”

  • Aaron

    “Most beautiful AirBnb we’ve stayed in. The views were spectacular, surrounded by mountains and the Fraser River.
    Adrienne was very fast at communicating with us, and was flexible with our check-in. Ross the caretaker was super friendly - provided us wood for the fireplace and was available at anytime. Hands down 5 stars.”

  • Pamela

    “Recently built ranch, with ample spaces and modern decor with attention to detail. Beautiful windows and terraces overlooking the Fraser River. Kitchen and bathrooms equipped with every comfort. Private beach on the river that we reached on foot. A special thank you to Ross for his kindness and availability (he provided us with walkie talkies for the descent to the river and then came to pick us up for the climb home).
    Unforgettable stay!”

  • Jocelyn

    “Adrienne and Ewan's place is wonderful and has incredible views. The pictures don't do the view justice. The house has been recently renovated from top to bottom. Nice details such as heated bathroom floors and the views from the bedrooms are amazing with comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need. Ewan greeted us and was so kind and helpful with the house. He also had a fire going for us when we got there! A lovely, unique and peaceful setting!”
