Cottonwood House is one of the last remaining roadhouses in British Columbia. With over 75 years of Boyd family legacy, a visit to this historic site will allow you to experience the rich history of the Cariboo region firsthand.

This well-preserved landmark site was a stopping spot for the tired and hungry passing through on the Gold Rush Trail.
