The place was exactly as pictured. There helpful notes to make sure everything was as clear as possible. Great walking trails. We really enjoyed our stay.
Had a great stay, peaceful and quiet, just what I was looking for. Beautiful property with well maintained trails for easy walks through the forest. The heated floors in the cabin made it so cozy.

Everything was great. The only thing was I wish it was more secluded as we were on o farm and there is a fuel tank and a boat next to the cabin and we were looking at a shed and a old truck out the front. The river was a bit of a walk away. All and all it was a fun stay
Nice, quiet place to relax for a couple days. Daniel was very easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions. The cabin had everything we needed for our meals but Sundre is a quick drive away if you need anything. The walking loop to the river was well marked. We would definitely stay here again.
Wendy is a kind, friendly host who makes your needs priority. The cabin was clean, warm and welcoming. We loved the peaceful surroundings and lovely golden retriever, Charlie😉 would highly recommend staying at this place!
