I probably shouldn't be telling you about this little secret....
But I have to....
In Maple Creek, Sk.....
Where the cowboys cross with their horses....
There is a fabulous Bed and Breakfast...
called
I can not rave enough about this man's vision!!
Greg Hisey has created his small town
using
old dilapidated cabins, wagons and a church from local ghost towns
He has an eye for putting relics together
making
these masterpieces better than they were the first time!!
You feel like you are transported back in time
as
you hear a train rumbling in the distance....
I am seriously considering doing this to my old Fargo!!
The CowGirl Deluxe
The truck came from the Heller Bros. in Maple Creek
One is still alive today!!
These adorable accomadations are all done up so well...
Cozy and cute...
Complete with your own deck area at each place
\
One even came with a phone!!
Greg's use of stain glass windows and old recycled barn boards...
Made what new things he used stand out even more!!!
I think I will need to stay about 9 more times
 |
| (One of the wagon accomodations) |
so I can try out each adorable place...
These are original Studebaker Sheep Wagons!
Every bed had a quilt....
Each one different...
This was the view from the my bed in
the Walsh cabin!!!
There are full bathrooms
but
even the outhouse was inviting
(it's a composting toilet!!)
They were air conditioned
and
heated if you needed it!!
Complete with towels and breakfast!!
Cara Lee Hanson did an incredible job keeping everything spic and span
Her love of the history was also apparent
as
she shared her knowledge of each cabin with us
Bink, the cat would go from porch to porch
to sit with each guest
I did a fair bit of needlework with this little buddy!!
The front porches were well used in our stay with Arnold's family
This church is where you have breakfast
and
have events or just play cards
It was also the Rodeo so this wagon and truck
were drove to town to be in the parade!!
When it rained
we took shelter on the porches...
This was the Hatton Cabin
I think this would be a fabulous quilt retreat location...
I think we need to try it some time!!
Every night we had a bonfire
where we made new friends....
and
Bink smiled for the camera for this little guy!!
It was a super relaxing place to gather...
We already booked for next year!!
Now....
Did anyone check Bill's trunk for a cat???
