Amazing getaway

I could'nt say enough good things about Joe and his ranch. Joe is extremely welcoming and was very helpful showing us around. Great spots to fish, warm fires, hiking and beautiful scenery. Places like Joe's are what makes life wonderful. Thanks again Joe, we will for sure be back!

Great Get-away

Nice rustic cabin with water and heat located on the Oldman River, just what we were looking for. Spent 5 days relaxing, exploring the property, and staring at the stars at night. Joe is a great guy with lots of knowledge of the area. Located about 15 minutes from Pincher Creek with easy access from the main highway. We would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful retreat

We were looking to "get away" and have a private place to relax with our dog with access to water, woods and stars. This place was perfect for just that. Joe is great and was very welcoming.

A stay here is like getting to enjoy your own personal nature sanctuary. A peaceful time in the woods, filled with birds and georgeous views.

Rustic Hide Away

Loved everything about our stay, but beware…you’re in the country, on a river, in a rustic cabin. Do not have Big City 5 star hotel expectations! But, expect to be wowed by Joe, by the stars, and by the River. A little dirt is part of the relaxed experience. Enjoy! We certainly did!

Perfect location in Southern Alberta

We absolutely loved our stay at Joe’s cabin! The location is ideal for those wanting a quiet escape from city life. Our kids loved exploring the walking paths and wading along the river bank and our dog was in heaven tagging along on all their adventures. We don’t fish, but I do love birding, and this is an excellent spot for engaging with multiple varieties. Joe was a treasure and our only complaint is that we didn’t book for longer!

Don't overthink it. Just book it.

Easily one of the best places we've ever stayed. It starts with the host, Joe. He's warm, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. After spending a little bit of time with him over the course of a few days, I feel like I've known the guy for decades. And as great as the host is, the property offers river access and a sense of serenity that's hard to match.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Jacobson

Joe is a retired rancher/outfitter that has decided to share his beautiful riverfront cabin with small groups and families that love the outdoors and especially fishing the pristine waters of southern Alberta....not to mention, if you ask nicely, he will happily share his Saskatoon and chokecherry berries when they are in season !!

Why they chose this property

Private...private...and seriously private !! Riverfront cabin on the Oldman River...15 minutes from the small town of Pincher Creek, Alberta. Fish the Oldman River, Crow's Nest River, Castle River, Oldman River Reservoir. Waterton National Park is only a 45 minute drive away from this remote cabin.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, hiking, kayaking, an abundance of wildlife ... all available without ever leaving Jacobson's Riverside Ranch. From the highest point on the ranch, you can enjoy beautiful Rocky Mountain views, with the river as a background ....a photographers paradise....
Perfect for a romantic getaway or bring the kids......you will never want to leave...but you will certainly come again !
