150 Mile House, BC, Canada

A small community located east of the community of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada. The region is fenced and cross fenced with hectares of grasslands and ranchlands. Some fields enjoy roaming cattle and horses while others stand still, waiting, in long rows of hay stacks.

The region first started under the name of Davidson's Lake Valley Ranch and Roadhouse on Valley Creek. It was the brainstorm of Thomas Davidson. But soon later Davidson got himself in some trouble and fled the country leaving the roadhouse to change hands many times over until... the Cariboo Gold Rush hit and everything changed.

Under the ownership of Samual Alder and Thomas Berry the roadhouse soon became another of the "Mile Houses" established along the route of the Cariboo Gold Rush Trail. Soon miners, fur traders and settlers stopped in for food, accommodations, gambling and entertainment. The roadhouse became a booming business quickly.

Today, 150 Mile House is a small community, a ranchland community, a quiet community. It is best known for its history and for its log homes. The area is home to Guest Ranches, horseback riding tours and cattle drives. Some of the amenities in the community of special interest to travelers include a gas station, ATM, restaurants and accommodations.

Driving the highway in the region one will notice many partially built log homes. This is because some of the finest log home building companies in BC, Canada operate in 150 Mile House.
