About Us
Shauna and Mike are the owners and hosts of The Wild Turkey Inn. With a shared love of old houses, good design, and meaningful hospitality, they have carefully restored the Victorian home — built in 1896 — preserving its history while making it comfortable for modern stays. Thoughtful details, curated antiques, and welcoming shared spaces reflect their belief that a great place to stay should feel both special and lived-in.
They take pride in creating an atmosphere where families and groups of friends can truly settle in and feel at home. Hosting is personal here, but never intrusive — Shauna and Mike are always happy to share local knowledge or assist when needed, while also respecting your privacy and pace during your stay.
Eevee and Marlow
Pink & Floyd
The owners’ side of the house is also home to a small and well-loved group of pets. Eevee and Marlow, two friendly dogs, and Pink and Floyd, a pair of curious cats, are part of daily life here and add to the relaxed, lived-in feel of the property.
All pets remain on the owners’ side and are never in guest spaces unless specifically invited. For guests who enjoy animals, you’re welcome to say hello — and for those who prefer a quieter stay, your privacy and comfort are always respected.
Unplug
Many guests come to The Wild Turkey Inn to unplug. Guest bedrooms do not have televisions, encouraging slower mornings and quieter evenings. A TV is available in the kitchen/lounge area, along with complimentary Wi-Fi for streaming, staying connected, or checking in with the outside world as needed. Books, games, and puzzles are always on hand for screen-free time.
Winter Wonderland
Snow is part of everyday life in Rossland during winter. Guests should plan for winter driving conditions and ensure their vehicles meet seasonal tire requirements.
Our Name
The name of the inn is locally inspired. When we first visited the property in late winter of 2018, the trees around the house were filled with wild turkeys. We fell in love with them immediately — their independence and good humour felt like the perfect reflection of the spirit we hope to share at The Wild Turkey Inn.
