Honeyman, who also designed Rossland’s historic courthouse. Many notable local figures have lived here over time, and you can see echoes of Honeyman’s late-Victorian design sensibilities throughout the house with its original Douglas fir floors, stained glass windows and stunning coffered ceilings. Now freshened with a clean contemporary palette and all the modern comforts of home, the house blends past and present to create a warm, friendly, relaxed and awesome ambience. After a day outdoors, curl up by the fire in our lounge with a book, game or good conversation, or get cozy in our 8-person cedar barrel sauna. Enjoy snacks and meals in our elegant dining room, which also doubles as a workspace. If the digital world or remote work calls, hit the slopes and then hit the laptop with our high-capacity, unlimited business wifi. ------- City of Rossland Business Licence #4879 Off-street Parking Spaces: 4
