Cottonwood House is one of the last remaining roadhouses in British Columbia.

It was built in the 1860s to offer accommodation, meals and provisions to miners and travellers on their journey along the Cariboo ‘Waggon’ Road to Barkerville or Quesnel.

This place is located east of Quesnel, on the Gold Rush Trail to Barkerville Historic Town. It offers heritage interpretation, accommodation and food to those wanting to explore and experience the Cariboo and its rich history.
