Its our favorite time to get away with all the fall colors. This place has an incredible view of the river. We saw a moose. I would bring binoculars so you can see them better.....We had a bonfire at night and it was great to see the stars....The house has a cozy feeling and we also brought our cozy blankets and slippers...You can also watch a movie...The host enjoys meeting people, and brought over some eggs and gave a tour in his own truck of the river pathway....its a nice place to hike as well...

I chose Grandma’s House for our annual girls trip this year and it met all of our expectations! We loved the house and all the creaky noises. Lots of nostalgia there. Jarvis was a fantastic host! He helped make our stay so much fun, and tried to answer all our historical questions. We were able to take walks, go down to the river, have a fire in the fire pit, watch the northern lights, play games, and laugh ourselves silly!
The place is so picturesque, and we were so comfortable and happy to be there!

To enjoy a simpler life, to reminisce of different times and stroll through this nostalgic property; full of history, heirlooms and wonderful scenery was a privilege. The property is great; Jarvis makes the property come to life further with his passion of hospitality, when we crossed paths. Loved it all!!

We had book this beautiful getaway for family to stay in while having our Wedding during the stay. It was a dream come true and the view was breathtaking. If you want to unplug and getaway from it all, this is your place. We will definitely visit again and the host was lovely.

Nice break from the city. The views were great - saw wildlife - and our favourite part was having a fire in the evening in such peaceful surroundings.

Very beautiful property with a house, barn, large gathering building and breathtaking views of the river valley. The walk down to the river is long and steep so you do have to consider your fitness level especially going back up. Make sure to bring bug spray. Main house has 4 bedrooms with comfortable beds and 2 full bathrooms. It's nice to getaway where it is quiet and there are no neighbors for miles.

Great place for anyone who loves nature. Beautiful view of the river valley, quiet, wide open space, natural prairie, kayak or canoe to petrofka bridge (nice 2 hr plus paddle with current but need strap on wheels to get you kayak down to the river. Jarvis is a great host.

My friend and I wanted to unplug from the world for a few days and this farmhouse was exactly what we were looking for. With complete solitude and the option of using electronics or not (TV, wifi, etc), we chose to unplug completely. The house and area were better than described, with everything you need in a home away from home. My dog and my friend’s dog loved our walks above and down into the river valley (as did we), and we look forward to our next reprieve there! Thank you, Jarvis, for sharing this lovely property with us!

6 friends and 2 dogs met up for a long weekend getaway. Comfy home, well-equipped with everything we could need (we cooked Easter dinner here!) and lots to see and explore on the property. Jarvis was warm and welcoming, making sure we had a nice walking path through the snow and farm-fresh eggs. What a treat! Looking forward to a return trip someday to see the prairie in the summer.

This is a lovely, remote but close to Saskatoon property with comfortable accommodation, beautiful terrain for walking and wildlife observation, and wonderful star gazing at night.

We stayed at Grammas house for our family Christmas. It was amazing. Everything we needed & more. I felt like I was back in time at my Grandparents for Christmas. Jarvis was a great host. He made us feel at home. We’ll be sure to stay here again:

We have stayed at Grandma's house several times in the past and love coming out each time. Very quiet, remote with fantastic scenery. Jarvis is very helpful and responsive.

A friendly place for six friends to come and stay. Comfortable, welcoming and spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to host a group event. The sunsets were worth the drive from across the country!

Wow! Complete solitude in a stunningly beautiful, quiet setting. Our days were filled with explorations of the buildings and property. Evenings brought sunsets second to none we have ever seen! The nights entertained us with million-starred skies and cozy camp fires that we were able to build with the amply provided wood. The days ended with wonderful sleeps in cool, comfortable beds! Grandma’s rates in our top three of all places visited in Saskatchewan! Thank you Jarvis! 😊

This was our second trip to Grandma’s House and it was even better than our last visit. Jarvis is constantly improving the property and I can tell how proud he is of this place. And he should be proud, the property is amazing.
The house has everything you need and the beds are super comfortable. We spent every day there exploring with our two dogs. They had so much fun having an entire week without leashes. There was even a place where our dogs could go swimming.
It's hard to describe how great this place is. You really need to go there and see for yourself. I can't wait to go back!

Had an amazing time! The host Jarvis was incredible and very thoughtful. We stayed in -40 weather and he checked in on us to make sure everything was ok! Will definitely be going back!

Great location near the river with a well-equipped, comfortable farmhouse. Old prairie heritage items, not only in the farmhouse but also in outbuildings made for a unique and special stay full of nostalgia for us. We timed our visit for fall bird migration but would consider a slightly earlier visit in the future to enjoy more fully the beautiful autumn colours in the ravine and along the river.

We rented Grandma’s for a girls trip weekend of laughs, puzzles, games, and food by the river. We enjoyed how it felt like coming to grandma’s house as soon as we arrived. Cozy, clean, character, and plenty of space for us to rest and relax. We especially enjoyed the Grain Bin Entertainment space with the view of the ravine, with the sunshine coming in the windows while we worked on puzzles. The trails and the outdoors were lovely, we saw so many animals, and got to have a nice fire. The kitchen had everything we needed for a country cottage weekend and Jarvis was accommodating to answer all our questions. We are thankful we were able to rebook after we had our initial weekend plans cancelled due to pandemic, and hope to come again in the future. Thank you Jarvis for your kindness and allowing us time together in your place, and we hope you enjoy the birdhouse we left behind.

We are return visitors to Grandma's House and again this year we were needing a time of rest and refreshment. Grandma's House is the perfect setting for some peace and solitude! Autumn is our favourite time of year and this place offers a perfect setting for viewing the fall colours. Every day held a new view as the colours changed throughout the week. During our walks by the ravine we were thrilled to catch sight of beavers, deer and Canada geese. The sunrise and sunsets were spectacular. My favourite time was walking around the farm yard in the early morning to soak in the beautiful glow of colour from the sunrise. Jarvis is an excellent host and greets guests with warm Saskatchewan hospitality. We had everything we needed including some fresh farm eggs which we thoroughly enjoyed. We returned home feeling rested and refreshed and are looking forward to our next visit to Grandma's House. We would definitely recommend a visit.

Clean and comfortable! Water temperature and water pressure were excellent. Everything we needed was available, easy to find and clean/fresh. The farm fresh eggs were enjoyed and were a special treat. Directions were provided and easy to follow. The property made for excellent photo opportunities of 4 generations. Would recommend.

Thank you, Jarvis, for a lovely welcome. We had an amazing time. Enjoyed hikes and walks to the river, swam in it almost every day (even saw a beaver on our last morning). Deer and their fawns were seen almost daily. Sunsets were breathtaking... fireside every night and stargazing... lots of shooting stars during our stay :) So serene and relaxing. Thank you.

Jarvis was very accomodating and friendly. The land was gorgeous with great views, a nice fire pit area with chairs included and lots of firewood. There was a BBQ and the house was stocked with everything you need just bring the food!
We left early due to there being no A/C because the temps were 32 outside and the house definitely heats up. The ad didn't say that it had ac so not the owners fault but we just couldn't sleep in the heat. Would be nice to visit when it is not the middle of the summer though!

This is the place if you want to get away from the noise and toxicity of city life. Treat your lungs with fresh unpolluted air. Treat your soul with peace and quiet. Treat your sight with the wildlife, rustic scenery and a starry sky on a clear night. Amazing places to hike. Impressive geologic structures. The farmhouse is well equipped with amenities that made our stay comfortable. Jarvis is a wonderful host who welcomed us when we arrived and saw us off before we left. The farm fresh eggs were well appreciated.

Our stay was truly a breath of fresh air and a getaway from the everyday. You will step back in time, with all the luxuries of today, combined with that old, farmstead feel - in fact you have the entire piece of land to yourself to explore! We loved the fact that we really just needed our food and clothing. The home was stocked with spices, utensils, beautiful dishes, extra blankets, etc. - and fresh farm eggs were given by the hosts for breakfast. Exploring was the best! We hiked down to the river, clearly walked through game trails and explored the big barn - each stall still had the name of their animals written along the top! At night, we went out with just our flashlights - a pigeon scared the heck out of us, and we saw an owl! If you are looking for something different, this is it. Serene, peaceful and all to yourself. I cannot wait for the next time we have the opportunity to come and visit this beautiful space again.

A thoughtful and caring restoration of a Canadian prairie gem. This farmhouse is historic yet modern, rustic yet refined, light filled joy yet dark as the silent night. A cornucopia of wildlife by a pristine setting perfect for any and all occasions. Jarvis is an impeccable host who hasn't cut any corners in amenities, provisions, or hospitality: great wifi, hot water, fabulous water pressure, comfortable beds, surplus of cooking utensils, strict cleanliness, fresh farm eggs.The highest of recommendations and much obliged for creating a special memory for our family.

Grandma’s house is in a beautiful setting. The property is very well maintained and you couldn’t have a better host then Jarvis. We hope to return again. Terry S
