Located in Redstone, Pasture to Plate blends ranch living, modern timber-frame accommodations, and exceptional dark-sky experiences.

Set in the wide-open landscapes of Redstone, BC, Kinikinik offers a rare blend of ranch hospitality, locally rooted food culture and unforgettable dark-sky experiences. Located between the Chilancoh River and the Chilcotin River along Highway 20—the Route 40 connector leading travellers toward Bella Coola and the Pacific Ocean—this diversified cattle ranch invites guests to slow down, stay awhile, and reconnect with both land and sky.
Pasture to Plate is first known for raising premium beef cattle and operating its own processing and retail enterprise, but visitors quickly discover that the heart of the experience lies in its welcoming ranch accommodations and immersive rural atmosphere. Anchored by the striking timber-frame architecture of KiNiKiNiK—a beautifully designed restaurant created by OT Timber—the property blends modern comfort with authentic western character.
Guests can settle into thoughtfully designed lodging that reflects the same contemporary timber-frame style. The River House is ideal for families or small groups, offering five bedrooms that comfortably sleep nine guests. Fully furnished with a complete kitchen, cozy wood stove, in-floor heating, and shared washroom, the home feels warm and inviting in every season. Large windows frame sweeping views of the ranch, creating the perfect setting to unwind after a day outdoors.
For smaller groups or couples, the Pine House provides an intimate retreat. This two-bedroom home sleeps four and features queen beds, a fully equipped kitchen, in-floor heating, and a wood stove that adds rustic charm to modern comfort. With no minimum stay required, visitors can easily plan spontaneous escapes or extended stays.
The chalets and Bridge Houses are some of tue other accommodations offered.
As daylight fades, Kinikinik transforms into an astrotourism haven. Far from urban light pollution, the ranch’s expansive skies reveal brilliant constellations, the glowing arc of the Milky Way, and seasonal celestial events in remarkable clarity. Evenings invite guests to step outside, breathe in the quiet of the Chilcotin plateau, and experience the profound stillness only true dark skies can offer.
Here, ranch life, exceptional food, and cosmic wonder come together, creating a destination where guests not only rest, but also reconnect with nature on every scale, from pasture to planet.
