Welcome to The Artists House Bed and Breakfast, Sicamous, Canada. In Sicamous overlooking beautiful Shuswap lake, you will find The Artists House Bed and Breakfast the place where art and history meet. This Bed and Breakfast is ideal for artists, railway buffs, historians, and anyone who loves nature.  There are three available guest rooms, a library and writing room, at The Artists House Bed and Breakfast. There are three bedrooms for double occupancy including a dormer overlooking Shuswap Lake.  The bedrooms are themed by colour (it's a colourful house.)  The Yellow Room has a heritage theme featuring Victoria’s grandfathers hooked rugs. There are twin beds that make nicely into a ‘king’ bed and a third twin bed in the adjoining windowed ‘closet’ space which is cosy for a child.  The Green Room is crisp and fresh with an oak sleigh bed and suite. It has an eastern exposure and always remains cool and cozy.  The ensuite has been completed in the master bedroom featuring a roomy shower for two with a 'river rock' floor.  The Orange Room/General Waiting Room, the smallest room with the biggest and best view. It has a double bed facing the lake. It was originally the room of Alvera Bruhn (Patterson), the daughter of Rolf and Sarah Bruhn.  The main bathroom on the upper floor contains a large oversized man's tub circa 1940's where a guest can soak in an aromatic candlelit bath and gaze at the cherubs and clouds adorning the ceiling. It is shared with the Orange Room and the Yellow Room

The library/writing room, a former maid's quarters, houses a desk and a small collection of books that the guests are welcome to read.  Guests are welcome to share the main floor, which consists of a living room with fireplace and folding French doors, a den with sound system, TV/VCR, a formal dining room, and a long sun porch, where guests usually choose to enjoy their breakfast and the view.  The dining room has a working miniature railway with trestles, tunnels and a model of the former CPR Hotel. This runs along window ledges, through the bookend library on each side of the French doors, and above the paintings which adorn the walls.

There is a large patio that overlooks the lake where guests are welcome to breath in the sights and sounds of the Shuswap.
