Mountain Thyme Getaway — Hotel in Wells

We stayed at Mountain Thyme Getaway and were not let down in any way. We rented the whole guest house for a great 3 night weekend at the end of February so we could enjoy the Wells Gourmet Ski Tour and some of the other winter wonders the area has to offer in snow shoeing and nordic skiing. There were 8 of us spanning three generations there as a gathering place for us from Victoria, Port Coquitlam, and Prince George. The youngest children (4 and 6) had a great safe time here. The hosts were fantastic, attentive, accomodating and interested as always. ||||We were too busy relaxing to watch TV or DVDs but did have some fun spinning some of their vinyl on the record player - nice touch as we had 4 baby boomers in the group. We were even able to connect with the outside via WiFi.||||This is as others have said an ecclectic, charming 1940s old miner's cabin that has been thoughtfully renovated with We were warm. The main floor offered plenty of room for us to gather, mover around and have fun. The spacious front porch accomodated our winter gear and us when we would first arrive back from an outing. The bathrooms worked well for our group with the shower and the bath and the bedding worked perfect. We were easily able to make meals as well with the full fridge, great hot plates, microwave, etc. Heck, next time maybe we'll break out my fathers recipe and do a turkey on the Barby! Meals across the street at the Bears Paw are always excellent as well.||||Access to Wells in the winter was no problem and the snow is great.||||We would definitely consider this as a stop either at the beginning/end or both when doing the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit or when doing a winter excursion to the lakes on backcountry skis with White Gold - our host are knowledgeable of all activities in this area. Perfect place to stay when visiting Barkerville too. The area also offers Art, Bicycling, and Hiking opportunities - the area has so much to offer.||||As well we just love interacting with the people of Wells. They are so special.||||We...

This is the second time I have stayed at the Mountain Thyme. This trip we were a group of 6 adult family members and we had a lovely stay. The beds are comfortable, the cooking facilities sufficient for vacation cooking (there is no oven but who wants to bake on their vacation), and the ambiance cozy and homey. There are all sorts of lovely touches, a shelf made of skis in one bedroom, a ski railing on one set of stairs, and multi-colour lights by the sink. Two full bathrooms was most appreciated with 6 of us. Upstairs has a wonderful soaker tub and the shower downstairs is roomy even for our larger family members. The cabin was also spotlessly clean. We were made to feel most welcome by Dave and Cheryl, our hosts who are also a wealth of local knowledge and ideas.||||Due to our configuration of people (2 couples and 2 singles) we used both queen beds downstairs, the master bedroom and the bed on the landing upstairs. The bed on the landing pulls out with a trundle bed and will sleep two but it does make it close to get from the master bedroom, past the top of the stairs, to the bathroom upstairs. With the bed not folded out there is lots of room.||||Mobility considerations: There are about 5 steps to get into the cabin which have a solid handrail on them. The stairs to the upper level are steep and have a turn in them but have a railing. The main floor would be accessible with a walker or cane, a wheelchair may be a challenge due to the lip to get into the bedroom and the configuration of the bathroom, but if someone is able to transfer up the stairs into the cabin they could also likely transfer in the bathroom/bedroom.||||I hope this review is helpful and that you will enjoy the Mountain Thyme as much as I have both times I have...
