OUR BED & BREAKFAST
Miner’s Rest B&B is located in a quiet residential neighbourhood l above the historic town of Lillooet, only a few minutes from shopping, dining and local attractions. Relax on our partially covered large deck and enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of the Fraser River, the Valley and the 5000 ft. mountains of Fountain Ridge across the valley.
Our B&B name reflects the history of Lillooet as thousands of miners stopped at Lillooet in the 1850s Cariboo gold rush to pan for gold and to rest as they made their way to find their fortune in the gold fields. Millions of dollars in gold were taken from the rivers and creeks around Lillooet.

LILLOOET -
Lillooet has a prominent place in the early history of British Columbia, notably in the days of the gold rush of the 1850’s when it had a population of 15,000, the largest of any town west of Chicago.

Mile O
The cairn on Lillooet’s main street marks ‘mile 0’ on the original gold rush trail and many towns to the north take their names from the mileage from Lillooet, eg.100 Mile House and 70 Mile House.
Wildlife
Because of the high mountains and open country around Lillooet, there is an abundance of wildlife in the area.
Bears, mountain sheep, mountain goats, deer and moose can often be seen. 
BREAKFASTS
We call our breakfasts ‘heartstarters’ because there’s nothing like a good country breakfast with fresh ground coffee to start your heart in the morning.
Our motto is, “If you have to eat lunch after one of our breakfasts, we’re insulted”. We don’t tell you what time breakfast is served, we ask you what time you would like to eat. It’s usually between 8:00 and 9:00 AM but it’s your choice.
You will be treated to breakfasts of juice, a fruit dish or fruit salad, an entree of such tasty treats as plateau pancake, quiches, omelets, French toast, eggs benny or crepes, all served with ham or bacon. There’s also hot toast made from homemade bread, our own jam and of course, endless cups of freshly ground coffee or a pot of tea. When available, we serve fresh local produce, honey and sausages.
Vegetarian and restricted diets on request. Just let us know ahead.
In nice weather we can serve breakfast or coffee on our wonderful deck.
“Come on in, breakfast is ready!”
