We (6 of us, all family) spent a week in this wonderful, practical, beautiful, varied and slightly eccentric hideaway, in the woods and on the lake.
The house itself is big, rambling and really something else; the wildlife on the lake is varied - never seen so many ducks and geese in one place, plus bald eagles; there was the odd bear passing by from time to time (and nibbling on the blueberries). If you were so inclined you could spend the whole holiday in the house, playing games, working out in the gym (not me, obs!) playing pool or table tennis, feeding the fish, enjoying the BBQ, talking to Walter the donkey & associated goats.
We didn't just do that of course - we went to walk in the parks and lakes all about, and took a day out in Vancouver visited way too many brewhouses.
In summary, we had a very special time, and the house and its location were a big part of why.

Spacious, eclectic, comfortable, great kitchen, comfortable beds and nice linens. We loved feeding the fish on the koi pond and give treats to Walter the donkey and his goat friends. We have already booked doe next year and can’t wait to come back.

My family and i celebrated my 50th birthday at this beautiful place. Its a huge house with plenty of room for games, big dinners, and BBQing on the patio. We enjoyed playing billiards, kayaking, watching the morning sunrise from the dock, and playing bocce in the large grassy areas. The home is a beautiful luxury house in a rustic setting. We also enjoy the Koi pond, goats and famous donkey "Walter". I highly recommend this wonderful property. Karen and John were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. We definitely plan to rent this place again.

We stayed at Holleyville for a relaxing family gathering and it was exactly that. The house was a home: well stocked in the kitchen, and plenty of activities for family, including books, games, etc. Good beds, and well set up for two to three families or a group of friends. There are four distinct sitting areas, so if you need to spread out for some separate time, the house is set up for it.
Holleyville is well located, about a 10-15 minute drive from two major supermarkets and restaurants. Drive towards Agassiz and visit several farm stands for some of the best produce and peaches and cream corn if you're there during the summer season. There are also additional hiking trails within an hour drive.
John (owner) was incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and an all round lovely person.
The koi pond and goats and donkey (we LOVE Wayne!) were lovely companions for the stay. Hours were spent sitting on the dock watching ducks, swallows skimming the lake surface, hummingbirds feeding on the garden flowers, fish jumping out to catch bugs, and bald eagles soaring overhead.
Overall, the home was magical, and if we're back in the region, we will definitely check to see if Holleyville is available!

We had the best time at John’s place. This was our 3rd summer there and every time it gets even better. We love the animals, trampoline, kayaking, pool and ping pong, and koi. Cascade Falls is a great short hike nearby. The house is truly awesome, and Karen keeps it sparkling clean! Thanks so much for everything, John and Karen!

We loved our stay at “Hollyville” with our whole family.
It was the perfect spot for a family reunion celebrating our father’s 80th birthday!
From Australia to Edmonton, everyone enjoyed Walter and the donkeys and looked forward to feeding the koi every day.
The property has everything you could want and more and kept us entertained the whole time we were there
Thank you John and Karen for your hospitality!
Hope to be back again soon!

We had two families of teenagers and the property was perfect for beautiful lake views and fun activities for cousin-bonding. We had competitive ping pong & billiards tournaments, fun at the trampoline, picturesque kayaking, made new friends with Walter (star donkey) + goats and ended each evening with a bond fire. There was even a gym in the basement.
