Welcome to Bluestone Acres, the newest ‘village’ in Vavenby, B.C., where the bees buzz with a Norse accent, and the veggies grow as sturdy as a Viking’s beard! Here, we’re more than just a farm; we’re a slice of agritourism heritage with a twist of Viking humour sharper than a spear’s point. Our founders, Kaare and Ron, are as Norse as they come—without the longboats but with all the hospitality. Only second generation Canadian with strong Norwegian lineage, they’ve planted their roots (and some pretty nifty herbs) in this land, honouring the Simpcw First Nations’ traditions and the earth’s natural mojo. We let Nature Lead the Way here. Of the things they take seriously, this one is high up on the list. Enamored by the Culture and rich history of the Norse Farmers and the 'Viking Code of Ethics' our founders are committed to bringing back a simpler yet more connected way of living. When honour meant something, truth was expected and good hospitality was of the upmost importance. When dialogue with land and Kin was always respected and bravery meant the courage to express freely and defend that right for others. The warriors way - without the raiding of course. If your heart yearns for the valorous days of yore, to tread the land of the maple as the Norse once did—mighty and unbridled—then venture forth. In this Canadian haven, where the spirit of mead still lingers in the air, you’ll find solace far warmer than the hearths of a Viking longhouse. Here, you’re invited to bask in the tranquillity that’s more comforting than the embrace of fur pelts. We vow that the only conquests you’ll embark upon are those of serenity and repose as you honour the legacy of warriors past in a land that cherishes freedom and valour above all else. Come, let the whispers of the old gods guide you to a respite where peace reigns supreme.

Hi There! Velkommen! Brave the wilds and awaken your inner warrior at Bluestone Acres! ⚠️ READ BEFORE BOOKING – ONLY FOR THE BRAVE & PREPARED ⚠️ Before you book, a word to the wise: Bluestone Acres is a true farm stay—a working apiary nestled in the wilds of British Columbia. Our cabins are off-grid yet thoughtfully appointed, offering the comforts of luxury without detaching you from the land beneath your feet. Think of it as camping wrapped in quiet opulence. 🌞 In summer, the land bursts with life and beauty—you won’t be disappointed. But this is outdoor living, not polished hotel convenience. The trees, the weeds, the dirt, the water, the wildlife—and yes, the bugs—are all part of the extended family. Please come prepared. If you're seeking something different, and ready to be spoiled the way only nature can—you'll feel right at home here. But if a hotel-style experience is what you're after, this may not be your match. Still... we urge you to try it. You’ll leave revitalized, reconnected, and more grounded than when you arrived. We look forward to welcoming you. Skål! 🏕️ Welcome to Bluestone Acres Tucked deep in the rugged heart of British Columbia, Bluestone Acres isn’t just a farm—it’s a haven of wild adventure, a place where the Viking spirit still breathes. Amongst the towering trees and winding rivers of Wells Gray Country, we honour old-world values: harmony with the land, unshakable hospitality, and a life lived with courage and care. Here, off-grid cabins and canvas shelters offer raw simplicity paired with creature comforts. We invite you to reclaim your connection to the stars, the soil, and the silence. ⚔️ Adventure at Bluestone Acres isn’t discovered—it’s forged, in the spirit of those bold enough to wander, listen, and live on purpose. Come stay. Come explore. And maybe—just maybe—unleash the Viking within. ~ Your hosts, Ron & Kaare 🛖🐝🌿
