About this property

A Beautifully Restored Loghouse That Combines Heritage With Modern Amenities.

A real heritage opportunity where you can stay in the oldest house in Strathcona County. This is your chance to experience an early pioneer home without sacrificing modern amenities. While maintaining the original character of the loghouse, newer additions have included a full kitchen, heated floors, bathroom and laundry facilities. In addition to the loghouse, the property also features many historical items including an old bunkhouse, a Swiss-style logbarn, antique farm machinery and an old boat once used for a tourist camp on Cooking Lake in the 1930's. Kilometres of trails throughout the property introduce you to the native flora and fauna in this area. As a wildlife preserve, the property has been maintained in its natural state. Our property also boasts a 70 acre Ducks Unlimited Conservation Area. If you are a bird-watching enthusiast or just looking to enjoy nature, this is the place for you. We offer tranquillity in a natural setting all within a short 35 minute drive to the city of Edmonton.
You will enjoy the full-use and privacy of this heritage loghome with your hosts only a short 10 minute walk away along a forest trail. We are there when you need us but happy to allow you to enjoy your time away on your own in peace and quiet.

Martha was great. The cabin was beautiful and very well equipped with loads of dishes, pots and pans, coffee, tea, salt, pepper and toiletries. I would recommend this beautiful cabin to anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Directions were easy to follow to the cabin and any communication with Martha was answered right away. Look forward to visiting again.

Martha was a great host and the cabin was really cool, rustic, but with all the modern amenities. Our puppy Bandit loved the outdoors and the nature. If we are out this way again we will definitely try to book it again.

Everything was clear, clean, and easy. We had a great stay. The hosts obviously go above and beyond with their rental property. This is the first rental I have ever stayed in that actually stocked a sharp knife in the kitchen instead of an extremely dull one that you can barely chop with!

Wonderful Old-Timey Cabin!

We had a fantastic, relaxing stay. Was primarily for the purpose of snowshoeing, which was amazing... lots of fresh snow and amazing trails that start right behind the cabin. The cabin itself is great... comfy and well-equipped.

Serene and relaxing getaway

This historic home has been perfectly updated to make your stay extremely comfortable and relaxing. The house itself has everything you could need and the property has beautiful trails for you to explore. We were also so happy we could bring our dog (who also loved it). The perfect blend of history and comfort, surrounded by nature.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Rutherford Conrad

Host profile image
I enjoy spending time in the outdoors including hiking, biking and horseback riding. Following an Honours degree in History from Queen's University and a Masters in Information Science from the University of Western Ontario, I have enjoyed a career in museum management. Personally, my husband and I have owned historical properties that we have strived to restore back to their original character. We love to travel, explore new places and meet new people. Fulfilling one of our goals, over the years we have taken our four children on camping trips across Canada travelling as far north, west, south and east as possible within Canada in a truck with an old canvas tent. We loved our journeys together as a family and we look forward to meeting you and hearing about your journeys.

Why they chose this property

Maggie's Hill Heritage Loghouse is a special property that immediately appealed to my husband and I. It is the oldest property in Strathcona County and was settled by one of the first Metis settlers in this area. When his daughter (Maggie) married a Scottish railway man, he gifted the loghouse to them as a wedding gift. Together Maggie and John raised 9 children in a 600 sq. foot loghouse. Sitting on a hill overlooking Hastings Lake, the property soon became known as Maggie's Hill. It is a privilege for my husband and I to become the lastest stewards of this treasured historic site.

What makes this property unique

The property is resplendent with details that depict the early pioneer heritage in Strathcona County from fencing styles, shingles, and architectural details. The property also boasts a 70 acre Ducks Unlimited Conservation Area with an opportunity to view a wide variety of birds and waterfowl including teal ducks, wood ducks, pelican, goshawks and great horned owls.
