Close to Waterton

This was the perfect place for my family to relax after our adventures in Waterton National Park. A short drive from the park, with gorgeous views of the mountains and Payne Lake. It was peaceful and the hosts were friendly. We would stay again.

Lovely cottage in peaceful area

This was the perfect place to stay for a few days. Close enough to Waterton Park and on a beautiful lake with mountain views. Dog-friendly. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with a well-equipped kitchen. A coffee machine and even tea and coffee pods were provided. The campground itself was quiet midweek and our kids enjoyed the playground. Will definitely book again!

Nice little retreat

My wife and I spent the weekend in April and it was a great little space. Quiet, calm and very restful. Mountains easy to view in the distance and close to waterton. If you forget anything there is a nice small store less than ten min away. We would definitely come again to have a nice weekend retreat.

Pleasant glamping experience close to Waterton

We stayed before in 2022 (in the wolf themed cabin) and came back because we enjoyed ourselves last time. The cabin and campground are equipped with running water and super close to Waterton. There are even more amenities than before. We appreciated the addition of the lounge area which had internet and lots of board games. We would love to come again.

Place to sleep

Directions once past the entrance were a little confusing. Showers separate from the unit. Bring your own shampoo and soap.

A true glamping experience in the wilderness. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. The patio was surrounded by woods. Felt very close to nature, but with the safety. Had a great relaxing time with family. The lounge was a nice addition with games, gym and books. 20 min scenic drive to Waterton. Owner was very friendly and approachable. Will definitely come back!!!

Awesome stay

Great spot. Cute little cabin with all the amenities and could ask for in that setting. A better description of outdoor showers would have been nice. Only two for whole site and could never get in. There are more being built though and that will be great. Overall fantastic.

Perfect Waterton base

We used this fantastic place as our base for three days of hiking around Waterton. I have never stayed in such a well equipped VRBO. So easy to prep all the food you need. Loads of room for two, and a family of 4 would work as well. The extra space on the big and private deck is nice. We didn't get to use the fire pit because rain, but it's a very cozy spot we'll be sure to use next time.

A great option for Waterton

So many great things to say about this place. The hosts are AWESOME! Very responsive and offer up great options for things to do. The unit isn’t huge but lots of space for the 2 of us. The unit is very modern and very well equipped! Super quiet area to stay in. We did the majority of our activities in Waterton so it was a 20 minute drive to the hub of our activities but you have to drive everywhere anyway so not that big of a deal. Highly recommend this place!

Pet friendly & great location

This was a great little stay. We were approx 20 minutes from Waterton. The property managers are very nice. Anything you need, just message them. Nice to have a little deck/BBQ and private fire pit area. There is also a lounge loaded with games and a covered deck seating area. The tiny cabin was well stocked and roomy enough for my husband, myself, our teenage son and medium sized dog. The only downfall is the quarter loaded showers but there are plenty of quarters left for you in the cabin. Nice and quiet area with plenty of privacy. Will stay again sometime.

The location was what we wished: a quieter area about 20 minutes away from Watertown. The view from the cabin area over the reservoir provided a beautify sunset when we first arrived. Two weaknesses of the cabin: (1) Insufficient ventilation on the ground floor. A second screened window on that floor would have provided a welcome cross-breeze. (2) There were no hooks for cloths and towels in either the kitchenette and bathroom. In summary: Despite the two weaknesses that I mentioned, the cabin suited our purposes and we would stay again.
