WOLF CREEK CABIN was completed in late summer 2006 and is situated on over 100 acres of forest and meadows backing onto 30+ miles of Crown land, with endless miles of hiking and ATV trails & old logging roads right outside your door. Enjoy the outdoor amenities of our beautiful location, with the privacy of your own cabin.
This is where you should be if you need/want to escape the stress and grind of everyday living. No phones, TV or internet (although a phone & internet access are available for use at our main home). Come relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The property has two creeks and two lakes on it. A short walk takes you to Ha Ha Lake with great swimming and fishing opportunities. A ten minute drive puts you at Lake Koocanusa with world class fishing and boating. The nearby town of Cranbrook, known as the "sunniest place in B.C." (averages over 300 days/year of sunshine), offers a multitude of dining possibilities as well as a multi-screen movie theatre, shopping, & several heritage centers.
The cabin is of timber-frame construction, approximately 600 square feet, and features a loft bedroom with queen bed. A fully-equipped kitchen features a stove/oven, refrigerator/freezer, toaster and coffeemaker. The breakfast bar has a unique handmade table constructed from prehistoric (50,000 years old) Kauri wood imported from New Zealand. The dining area has a gorgeous burled wood table with seating for four, while the main living area has a double futon, loveseat, and leather recliner. The bathroom includes a large ceramic tile shower in addition to the toilet and sink (with on-demand hot water). The cabin is fully electric (others in the area offer propane appliances & lighting, as well as outdoor bathroom facilities -- be sure to ask!).
The cabin has a large wrap-around deck and balcony with table, lounge chairs and sunbrella awning. A nearby hammock beckons you for an afternoon slumber, where you can hear the sounds of our 'babbling brook' as it meanders through the meadow. The gas barbecue grill awaits your freshly caught fish or other local delights.
There is a wood fire pit with log sitting area for building those evening campfires. Sit around and tell stories, sing songs, or listen to the sounds of the coyotes and wolves in the surrounding hills. A multitude of wildlife lives in our area, including both mule and white tail deer, elk, moose, the above mentioned coyotes & wolves, wild turkeys, bald and golden eagles, along with your occasional rabbits, badgers & ground squirrels.
Pets are generally welcome, but must be approved in advance. We occasionally board dogs at our home (also on the property -- about a five minute walk from the cabin) and may have space available if you need someone to watch your four-legged children while you explore the surrounding areas.
A number of board games are available for your entertainment; we also have a large amount of reading material (aka books!) which you may borrow during your stay.
This area is nestled in a valley between the Purcell and Rocky Mountain ranges with spectacular mountain peaks. Nearby, the Kootenay, Elk and Bull Rivers offer world class fishing & canoeing/kayaking, while Lake Koocanusa has boat rentals & swimming. Come see why this area is so popular with tourists! It's simply magnificent. |
Pet Friendly: Anyone desiring to bring a pet (or pets) must contact owner in advance for pre-approval. Boarding/petsitting services may also be available from owner at their home which is a five minute walk from the cabin.
