About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Heart of Fraser

Easy, and fun focused updated 2nd floor apartment brings the local and historic vibes. 3rd floor room adds space for work, fun, or rest. Located on the free shuttle route, and steps from the Amtrak station. National forest is 1 mile away, riverside trails are nearby, with several restaurants, breweries, wineries, a distillery, and a legal marijuana dispensary all within 2 blocks! For the less adventurous the Mercantile is great for train watching, majestic views of the Continental Divide, and a lovely space to bake, get creative, or catch up on self care/play 80's video games on the cocktail arcade.

Awesome property in the perfect location

This property is fantastic all around! The pictures definitely don't do it justice - inside is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need! The location can't be beat: 2 breweries are a block away, easy to walk around the area, and at night is super quiet. Will absolutely stay here again!

Ski weekend

This property was excellent for a ski weekend with friends. Totally unique and well appointed. Walking distance to 2 breweries and a bar/restaurant, we kept ourselves entertained ok Fraser. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great headquarters

Location was great for getting to other activities like hiking, kayaking, visiting the local breweries and distillery and the magnificent views of the Fraser Valley. Location was not so great for the trains coming through in the middle of the night. All in all a great stay with the minor inconvenience of the train noise. Would definitely stay again.

Family Trip to Fraser

The property and location were great and check in/out was seamless. The house is next to a train track, but only a few came through town at night. Definitely not a dealbreaker when the property is so close to activities in town. We did not have any issue or reason to contact the property owners except to thank them for a wonderful stay! If we are ever in Fraser again we will definitely keep this property in mind.

Historic, fun, clean, comfortable, and so much character!

We enjoyed staying in this historic building. The space was comfortable, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The convenient location is close to multiple restaurants, a grocery store, and the lovely Fraser River Bike Trail. We loved listening to the train roll by, and playing the 80s arcade game was a fun treat! Our hosts were welcoming and responsive to our needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay as we explored the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

Wonderful property with character

We were thrilled to be the first guests in this lovely historic property! Andy and Elizabeth did a wonderful job remodeling the second floor of their historic 1904 building. We have stayed in a dozen generic mountain properties (all decorated with either a bear or moose theme - there seems to be some sort of law about this), so the Fraser Mercantile was really refreshing. It is very clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, and full of character. We hope to be back!
