Flyway Farm: '63 Esta Villa Trailer
Very cozy area with many cute goats and chickens. Only downside is its right by train tracks that can get a bit noisy. Besides that the owner was very lovely and gave us a bundle of onions/garlic on our way out.

Flyway Forest: RV/Camper Site South
Loved it!
We stayed 6 nights at this HipCamp allowing access to Banff and Kootenay National Parks. We loved it. Inquisitive goats, chickens providing eggs, a Farm Dog (Junpier) that looked overjoyed to see us when we returned from a day out. Crown land is near-by, so we took a tent and so overnighted, for one night, away from our Trailer. Very hospitable and welcoming host, great communication before we arrived and advice when we did. It's close to a railway crossing so you get the occasional whistle blast - which we liked - and we had 15 amp power provided by the host which wasn't expected but welcome.

Flyway Farm: '79 Vintage Komfort
Perfect getaway with fantastic host
We loved the entire experience! Bernie was an amazing host and made the stay very special for us. He also made us the BEST omelet we've ever had - no joke! The property was beautiful and the trailer was super cozy with great mountain views right beside the bed. There were adorable goats, chickens and dogs too! We had everything we needed in the shared kitchen to make our meals and enjoy the host's company. All in all, we would not change a thing! Perfect little getaway.

1950s Canada Post Office
Staying at the historic post office exceeded my expectations. Most of the fixtures of the working post office were still there: the mailboxes, the sorting table, the customer counter, the wood stove.
The accommodations are a bed for one, and a bed for two.
As it was a public building it does face the highway, and the railroad, but it was not too noisy. It faces a view of beautiful crown land and I enjoyed watching the trains go by.
The property has many beautiful views and quiet places to sit and be reflective. I was also entertained by the frolicking goats and chickens and one sassy rooster.
The location is great for accessing local hikes and the Radium Hot Springs.
If you are driving through the Kooteneys to get to Flyway note that there is no cell phone service on that part of the drive, but the service is good at Flyway and wifi is available.

Cozy camp site!
Fun experience and the location is right at the start of the road to Cobalt lake. Would definitely stay again.

Camping in style
We had a lovely stay in the little trailer on Flyaway Farm. The trailer was small and cute and everything we needed, with bathroom and kitchen available at the nearby farm house. Bernie and Patty are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome!
The baby goats are adorable, and there were also baby chicks, which were just the cutest things! All the animals and humans on this farm were an absolute pleasure to meet, I hope we can come back soon.
