Tamihi Meadows is located at the Osborne fishing hole on the Chilliwack River just down from the Tamihi Recreational Area.  The location is well-known and very popular especially to fishermen, ATVers & whitewater kayakers!  The area is highly desirable because of the natural beauty, the unlimited hiking & off roading trails/roads, the Class II  to IV rapids as well as the extremely good fishing spot!

 

There are 3 TINY(!) rustic cabins in the forest here, each with 2 tiny bedrooms.  Some of the inside pics make it look MUCH bigger than they really are!  These are suitable for sportspersons, or people that just want to de-stress &/or get back to nature.

 

***NEW!!!!  For those not into rustic, we now have The Chick Inn & The Trailer Trash Tacky Shack overlooking the Chilliwack River rapids in a different area from these  ones. 

​

THIS APPLIES TO ALL CABINS:

 

****LONG WEEKENDS ARE A MIN. 3 NIGHT STAY on the rustic cabins & 2 nights on the newer ones!****

​

***YOU MUST READ THE WHOLE AD CAREFULLY & AGREE TO ALL RULES BEFORE BOOKING!  (The links are below & are only available through Airbnb as they cover the cabin insurance). 

 

Please list the names of all occupants when doing your reservation.

​

COVID:
We are disinfecting surfaces between guests, and we require that you cover the beds with your own sheets & bring a spray disinfectant for using the outhouse.

​

BATHROOM:
There is a port-a-potty (that smells like one!).  It is kept locked to ensure it is only used by the people in the cabins as there is only one there.  The key is on the cabin key ring.
Your toilet paper can't be left in the outhouse as mice will shred it!
USE ONLY THE PORTA POTTY FOR YOUR BUSINESS!  ***If you are one of those people who think it's ok to go in the bush & leave your toilet paper etc - DON'T COME HERE!  It's so disgusting having to pick that up & we will levy a $50. charge if we have to do that!  (We have had to put in night vision game cameras down there because of that).   Portable toilets are sometimes available for rent to put in the cabin if you prefer, (but must be cleaned out before returning them). 

*NOTE:  The port-a-potty for The Chick Inn & Tacky Shack is much nicer & is directly across from it.  

​

PETS:  Quiet, clean, well mannered, leashed pets welcome as long as they don't go on the bed & are picked up after.  They must be bathed before arriving here.  If you brush them, do not leave piles of hair for us to clean up as it will result in an extra cleaning fee.

​

PETS:  CLEAN, QUIET, well mannered pets that are leashed  & picked up after are welcome.   People & other dogs must be able to go by your cabin without having to worry about your dog or get barked at (as many are afraid of them).  They are NOT PERMITTED ON THE FURNITURE (there is a minimum $25. charge if they do).  Cabin 2 would be most suitable if your dog is going to get upset about others walking by. 

​

VISITORS
Visitors are not permitted.  If you have someone that wants to come in, they must be included in your reservation. 

​

FIREWOOD:You can purchase firewood here from the camp host, it's $9. for a good-sized bag.  ***PLEASE NOTE: No construction materials (ie wood ends etc) to be used in the wood stove, outside in the fire-pit is fine, but NO NAILS!  *There is no wood stove as yet in The Tacky Shack.  It is going in soon, but as yet it is so well insulated, It stays quite warm.

 

NO CANDLES PERMITTED!  Several people dripped wax everywhere & one ridiculous couple actually draped toilet paper over the curtain (to protect it??!!!) & set their candle on it on the sill & burnt the curtain!  You can't fix stupid, so I had to change the rules.

​

WHAT WE DON’T HAVE:
***There is NO RUNNING WATER IN THE CABINS!  (no, not even in the port-a-potty!) There is a tap with non-potable water in the campground that runs most of the time.  (It is from our springs).  There is NO INTERNET! NO TV! NO ELECTRICITY!!  T 

EXCEPTION: The Chick Inn & The Tacky Shack do come with lots of solar fairy lights and a regular solar light  as well as a refillable foot-powered sink for washing.

​

ATV'S:  ATV'S: LICENSED VEHICLES ONLY.  IDLE IN & IDLE OUT ONLY AND NO REVVING OF ENGINES!  Riding is straight in or out of the gate only.  Riding around the campground is not permitted so as not to disturb others unnecessarily.

 

GARBAGE is pack it in, pack it out, although we do accept sorted (clean) recyclables in separate bags.  Bottles and cans, soft plastics, hard plastics, jars and metal. If no fire ban, you are welcome to burn paper products. We will also accept compost (no meats or bones please).  If you wish to dispose of beef (those bones are fine) (or other meats except pork that have no bones) there are dogs that will eat that.

DO NOT LEAVE LITTLE BITS OF GARBAGE OR CIGARETTE BUTTS AROUND OUTSIDE!  They add up & are actually harder to pick up & we don't want our place looking like a dump!

​

NOISE: We are very strict about peace & quiet here.  2 people (out of well over 1000) has complained about gunfire in the distance.  (A private Fish & Game club is a few blocks away and can be heard occasionally).

​

PHONE SERVICE:  We have cell service here & we also have  a cell phone booster in the covered picnic shelter just above the stairs to the beach.

 

PARROT SHOW: I often do a little show in the campground on busier weekends with my very entertaining Yellow Nape Amazon parrot that loves to perform to entertain the kids (& adults).  The kids will all have a chance to hold her after her little show if they'd like.

 

DISRUPTIVE GUESTS: People causing too much noise or disturbances or otherwise not following the guidelines will be warned first, but in severe instances, you could be asked to leave immediately (without refund).

 

PROBLEMS:  ***IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS OR THE CABIN OR OUTHOUSE APPEARS TO NOT BE CLEANED PLEASE ALERT OUR CAMP HOST  (at the trailer closest to our gate) or give us a call (@ 604-530-1367).    

***Do NOT complain about it afterwards or ask for your money back if you haven't given us a chance first to correct any problems.  

​

WILDLIFE:  There are black & brown bears, cougars, lynx, deer etc.  It is highly unlikely that you will see any if you are making any noise as none of them want to see you.  (We actually try to see them!)  Black & brown bears are dangerous if you corner them or pose a threat to their young, if they hear you, they get out of your way.  
Grizzly bears are the really dangerous bears & they live up in the colder regions of our province.  
Children are not to be unattended as they are cougar bait.  If we find them unattended, they will be given an energy drink & taught to swear!

NO DESTRUCTIVE CHILDREN PERMITTED!

​

ACTIVITIES:
We are in the Tamihi Recreational area, which is well-known and very popular especially to (salmon & trout) fishermen, hikers, ATV’ers & whitewater kayakers.  
This area is highly desirable because of the natural beauty, the beach, the unlimited hiking & off roading trails/roads, the Class II  to IV rapids as well as the extremely good fishing spot.
The Trans Canada Trail runs along two sides of our property and one way goes up to Windy Knob, a 5 1/2 hour hike which offers great views of the surrounding mountains as well as the city, or you can continue there & add another couple of peaks for a full day hike.  Please email me if you wish the info on the hikes.

​

GATE HOURS: 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM.

​

​

THE CHICK INN & THE TRAILER TRASH TACKY SHACK:

 

WHAT YOU GET:

​

OCCUPANCY: 2 adults.  These cabins are not suitable for children as they is perched just above an unfenced drop to the river.

​

These are not rustic cabins.   

In the Chick Inn you can lay in bed beside the 7' wide window looking at the river and watch the beautiful sunsets over the river.  There is lots of storage space underneath the beds.   The Chick Inn cabin is a TINY  8 x 12', with a 6 x 12' covered deck.  The Tacky Shack is 8 x 14 & has a covered picnic area next to it with netting & curtains.  Inside both there is a tiny wood stove, a small table and 2 chairs, a refillable camping sink and a comfortable queen size bed, outside there is a picnic table 2 chairs & a fire pit.  There isn't any power but there is a solar light & there are lots of solar fairy lights around outside as well as inside.  There isn't any running water but there is a refillable camp sink inside and a (non-potable) water tap in the campground.   The solar lights are of course dependant on getting a good charge during the day for the amount of time they work.  Yes, there are blinds or curtains on the windows.  There is camping available very close to these cabins if wanted as well.  They are  located on Site 16 & 17 on our map.

​

The easily heard sound of the rapids in front of the cabins can lull you to sleep. 

​

*Please note: most of the pictures inside the the cabins make them appear MUCH larger than it is due to the lens required.

​

RUSTIC CABINS:  (All just freshly painted with new cute curtains & floors!)

​

WHAT YOU GET:
These are TINY, RUSTIC sleeping cabins ***DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE FISHERMEN & HUNTERS!!!  VERY BASIC back to nature (think wooden tent with a wood stove  that you can cook on), a  futon, a small table, night stand, 2 or 3 chairs & beds only!)  No pots, pans, dish ware, utensils or bedding. 
You can also cook over your campfire (as long as there isn't a provincial fire ban in place). 
Although they will sleep 6 - 7, it is very crowded with that many, and the furniture is not meant to be featured in Better Homes & Gardens!  

There is some damage & stains on tables & chairs etc.  

 

The floors have just been replaced (for the 3rd time!) with a high-end vinyl plank!  Use them carefully as you will be charged for any damage to them!  If you see any damage to them (not already listed in the cabin) let the camp host or call me @ (604-530-1367)   IMMEDIATELY APON ARRIVAL to avoid being charged for it. 

Each cabin has a small deck, an outside fire pit & outdoor table & chairs.
We can supply an outdoor solar shower (only good for the warm seasons), that you can fill from the river or waterfall.  There is a deposit, just ask the camp host for it.

 

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:You supply your own sleeping bags, cooking supplies, lantern(s) and toilet paper.  Bring basically everything that you need for tenting except your tent!

​

If it is rainy when you are there, you are welcome to bring a tarp & rope to tie from the deck of the cabin to the trees across from it.

 

WHO THESE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR:

These are NOT SUITABLE FOR NEGATIVE OR FINICKY PEOPLE OR CLEAN FREAKS!  When people ignore this requirement & come anyway, they tend to bring my ratings down (which I read).  I get annoyed especially if they give less than 5 stars for "Check In" as they are clearly listed as self check-in!!  The Cabin #s & names are on the doors & there is a lockbox with the key inside beside it.  Your welcome email contains full instructions plus the code.

These are NOT like city motel rooms!  (You may even see dust bunnies as it's very difficult to get all the way under the beds in the VERY tiny bedrooms.)  These are also not for people worried about outhouse smells, occasional mice etc.

NO DESTRUCTIVE CHILDREN!   

​

Children must be supervised at all times as children without an adult are cougar snacks!
 

PESTS:

Surprisingly, we have very few mosquitoes here.   Mice & other rodents & insects live outside, & they may occasionally poop on the deck & there may be cobwebs out there as well.  It is swept off regularly, but they return regularly!  If you don't keep the door shut, mice will get in, then people will whine to me, & then I will be upset with you, & then you'll be upset with me for being upset with you.  So just keep it shut!  DO NOT BOOK if these things are upsetting to you!!!

 

The large pond is not for swimming (the bottom is quite muddy), but people do swim in the river on our large beach (about a 5 minute walk) on our beach in the later summer & fall!  (Go under the covered picnic area, the stairs are there).   
Unfortunately, our little rowboat there, (The Lamberdinghy), has been damaged so it is not useable at the moment.  We are looking to find someone that knows how to fibreglass a couple of spots for us (we’ll pay!)

 

TENTS/RV’s 
They are not permitted in the cabin area,  you can call to book a self-contained unit in the campground.

​

REVIEWS:
We expect you to leave your honest review, rating it as a rustic fishermen's cabin, NOT COMPARING THEM TO A HOTEL OR MOTEL, as that isn't what you're booking! 
If you have ignored what we have put on our ad, don't complain about it after!  I understand if you feel they don't have enough value or are otherwise not suitable for you, however I would expect that you not want to return if you feel that way. 

 

PRICE:  For those that want cheaper, Cabin 3 is the least expensive (it is the middle one & is smaller).  As the demand is very high, Fridays  & Saturdays are the most expensive. The price goes down in low season as well.

Anyone coming on the property accepts all liability and risks for themselves their guests & and pets.
