Law's Way and the Castle

While staying at Fairmount B & B, our host Susan suggested we ask to see the other B & B's in Minnedosa - Law's Way and The Castle. The Castle is a Queen Ann castle that has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast. Make sure to ask about the tunnel if you are going to view it! Our visit was brief as we caught Darryl and Pat just before dinner and didn't want to impose too much. They graciously showed us around and explained some of the renovation work they had undertaken.
Law's way was quite a treat as we managed to spend some time talking with Maxine and Doug Law, the owners and hosts. The house - which many of the locals know as Doctor Stevenson's (sp?) home, is filled with fantastic woodwork throughout and Doug has spent lots of time making improvements and restoring the Arts and Crafts style home. The finished plans sound spectacular and will only add to the grandeur of the home. There are a number of unique and special features of the home and Doug and Maxine have a great sense of style. Doug is a retired RCMP officer and is an extremely knowledgeable person about restoration and home construction.
Thanks for the time and the great tours.
