In June of 1992 Janice Regehr opened Pineridge Hollow on her family’s acreage 1 1/2 miles away on Vernon Road. A 1920s log home was converted into a quaint country gift shop that was home to many locally hand-crafted items and unique giftware. In 1995, the turn-of-the-century style Carriage House was built on the same acreage to accommodate our growing number of guests and our grand ideas.

On June 9, 1999 we moved the Carriage House to our existing site. This was no small feat, as the Hydro lines that needed to be raised in order for the Carriage House to pass under was originally quoted at $50,000. This was enough to stop our plans, but prayers were answered and we were able to move the Carriage House on a day when Manitoba Hydro was doing a project that required them to divert power from those major lines. Hydro told us that this (diverting power) had never been done before and probably never would be again. The mover also told us that ours was the largest building he had ever moved. Yes, we believe in miracles...

This site is another miracle itself. This 6 acre parcel of land was a partially mined gravel pit. What is now the amphitheatre was about 3 times the size, so needless to say, a lot of earth was being moved around! We began to landscape in the early spring of ‘99 and everything looked amazing by the time we opened on July 30. In total, we did a major overhaul in about 51 days - it was a very intense and exciting time.

We are proud to welcome you as our guest and wish you many happy returns.
