Runaway Express Coach
Are you looking to take life out of the eighth notch? Our little caboose seems to have escaped the Kettle Valley Rail Line, embracing a life without locomotives. The passengers whistle with pleasure as they rest in the queen size Murphy bed. Tucked away amongst the rocks and pines; the cute woodstove brings it together as a cozy place for dreaming. The railway tycoon has thoughtfully designed this living space; intending to travel the Wild West in comfort.
John Denver - "Almost heaven, country roads, take me home, to the place I belong!"
While this carriage has left the clackety-clank of rails behind it has found new joy with its friends the singing birds, glowing wild flowers, and babbling brook. Enjoy a gorgeous mountain sunset from the outdoor patio and relax in the macramé swing. Since this wagon has been sitting on a shoofly spur for a while the signalman connected it to fiber optic internet, getting speeds of 350 Mbps or more. The kitchenette is small but includes the basics (BBQ, sink, mini fridge/freezer, hot plate, cooking and dining supplies) and a table for two. The experience features a full washroom with a large shower, toilet, and sink. When your steam is built up too high you can relax in air-conditioned comfort on the loveseat or cozy up to the fireplace with a blanket! The murphy bed flips up and a table flips down to create a dedicated workspace.
Outside you will find a private patio with a dining table, or follow the switchback path up the rock to the Adirondack chairs and propane fire table.
Come enjoy our hot tub and heated pool! The pool and hot tub area is a shared space with other guests and with host's family. Ask us about reserving a private time at the pool! Our country style welcome has guests coming back. Some enjoy interacting with our animals, our farm produce, flower garden, endless hiking, and more!
This retreat is located about 10 minutes drive from Oliver and about the same from OK Falls; in the quiet community of Willowbrook.

In the rail car.
Shhh... don't let this secret get out ... just kidding. Our visit was an excellent and unexpected surprise. We stayed on a rural property with a historical theme and feel. We explored the grassland country with vineyards on bikes. There are many great views and quiet back country roads to see. The managers keep a very tidy property, spotless accommodation in a most comfort farm setting. Thumbs up on this place. D&L

Awesome Place!!
We recently stayed at the runaway express coach, Jason was a superb Host. Very easy directions getting to the coach and very clean! The coach itself is comfortable and quiet. Sometimes we heard the animals from the farm but nothing to worry about, the pigs (Oreo and Ginger) were fun to watch! All around a a great experience and I’m sure we will be staying again.Make sure to check out some of there fresh produce and locally roasted coffee as well. Can’t miss it
