Welcome to Bluestone Acres, the newest ‘village’ in Vavenby, B.C., where the bees buzz with a Norse accent, and the veggies grow as sturdy as a Viking’s beard! Here, we’re more than just a farm; we’re a slice of agritourism heritage with a twist of Viking humour sharper than a spear’s point. Our founders, Kaare and Ron, are as Norse as they come—without the longboats but with all the hospitality. Only second generation Canadian with strong Norwegian lineage, they’ve planted their roots (and some pretty nifty herbs) in this land, honouring the Simpcw First Nations’ traditions and the earth’s natural mojo. We let Nature Lead the Way here. Of the things they take seriously, this one is high up on the list. Enamored by the Culture and rich history of the Norse Farmers and the 'Viking Code of Ethics' our founders are committed to bringing back a simpler yet more connected way of living. When honour meant something, truth was expected and good hospitality was of the upmost importance. When dialogue with land and Kin was always respected and bravery meant the courage to express freely and defend that right for others. The warriors way - without the raiding of course. If your heart yearns for the valorous days of yore, to tread the land of the maple as the Norse once did—mighty and unbridled—then venture forth. In this Canadian haven, where the spirit of mead still lingers in the air, you’ll find solace far warmer than the hearths of a Viking longhouse. Here, you’re invited to bask in the tranquillity that’s more comforting than the embrace of fur pelts. We vow that the only conquests you’ll embark upon are those of serenity and repose as you honour the legacy of warriors past in a land that cherishes freedom and valour above all else. Come, let the whispers of the old gods guide you to a respite where peace reigns supreme.

Hi There! Velkommen! Brave the wilds and awaken your inner warrior at Bluestone Acres! Before you book with us, we'd like to ensure you know we are a farm stay. Our cabins are luxurious and comfortable but off-grid, so you will essentially be camping but sleeping in opulence here. During the Summer, it is beautiful, and you will not be disappointed! Please come prepared for outdoor living. The trees, weeds, dirt, water, wildlife and even the bugs are all our friends and kin. If you want something different and are looking to be spoiled in the way only nature can provide, you'll love staying here. If you are looking for a more traditional hotel experience, this will not be the place for you. We do urge you to try it, though! You'll leave refreshed, revitalized and definitely more grounded than when you arrived. We look forward to hosting you. Skal!
