EAGLES NEST LOG CABIN

Peace & Quiet. By Design!

Welcome to Eagles Nest, one of just three handcrafted log cabins at Rocky Mountain Escape, set on 68 acres of private wilderness in the heart of Rock Lake Provincial Park.

If you're looking to escape busy campgrounds, crowded tourist areas and constant notifications, you've found it.

Our cabins are thoughtfully spaced apart to give every guest privacy, peace and the chance to truly reconnect with nature.

A True Off-Grid Experience: Getting here is part of the Adventure. 4wd/Awd recommended.

This isn't camping... and it isn't a hotel.

It's the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness.

Eagles Nest offers all the comforts you need while allowing you to completely disconnect from everyday life.

Inside you'll find:

• Queen-size bed with luxury bedding
• Double fold-down futon (sleeps up to 4 guests)
• Private bathroom with full bath and hot shower
• Indoor plumbing
• Kitchenette with refrigerator, sink and propane burner for hot drinks
• All towels, bedding, crockery, cookware and utensils provided
• Complimentary tea, locally roasted coffee, cooking oil, salt and pepper

Outside you'll enjoy:

• Private covered deck overlooking the forest
• Propane griddle for outdoor cooking
• Fire pit with complimentary firewood
• Adirondack chairs perfect for relaxing after a day exploring

Unplug. Slow Down.

There is no cell service, no Wi-Fi and no television.

For many guests, that's the highlight of their stay.

Swap emails for campfires.

Trade screens for stars.

Wake up to birdsong instead of alarm clocks.

Sit quietly on your deck and watch wildlife wander past.

It's amazing how quickly life slows down.

Wildlife Around Every Corner

Rocky Mountain Escape is home to an incredible variety of wildlife.

Guests regularly spot:

• Moose
• Elk
• Deer
• Snowshoe hares
• Canada jays
• Woodpeckers

Every visit is different.

Best Experience in Canada

Thank you so much Julia and Gary for being incredible lovely hosts. Your Cabins are very beautiful, spacious, clean and homely. No wlan, no power, just the nature. Right in the wilderness with a lot of animals, rustic forest and a great lake. It was magic. We will come back!

We were greeted by the amazing hosts as soon as we steeped out of the car, we felt very welcomed. Gary brought the cart to bring our belongings to the cabin and he was even bringing our belongings in the cabine while Julia was providing us with the explanation about the registry booklet for when we would use the trails, that way they would know everyone came back to their cabin. The cabin was nice and warm as they had a nice fire burning in the fireplace upon arrival. There was a nice little welcome gift for the us the humans and there some treats for the dogs and doggy bags to clean after the furry friends. The cabine was fully furnished with the dishes and cookware, games and they even have map of the trails accessible at the front step on the cabins. I’ll sure go back and I highly recommend this truly beautiful gem, you’ll have a great time!

Perfect Escape to Nature

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this off-grid cabin, and it was everything we needed for a peaceful, restorative retreat. Nestled in the woods, the cabin offers the perfect combination of seclusion, serenity, and nature. The cabin itself is charming, rustic, and incredibly well-maintained. Even though it's off-grid, the amenities were thoughtfully provided to make the stay comfortable—cozy wood-burning stove, comfortable bedding, and enough solar power to meet basic needs without compromising the natural experience. The simplicity of the setup was actually a huge part of its charm! One of the highlights for us was the peaceful mornings—waking up to the sound of birds, stepping outside to fresh, crisp air, and enjoying coffee. It's the perfect place to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature. The surrounding area is a nature lover's dream—there are trails for hiking, a nearby stream, and plenty of wildlife to spot. The remoteness of the location made it feel like a true escape. If you're looking for a remote getaway to unplug, unwind, and enjoy nature, Rocky Mountain Escape is the ideal spot. We can't wait to return!

An unforgettable Log Cabin experience!!

This outstanding log cabin is the perfect choice if you're searching for a peaceful retreat surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and wildlife. My boyfriend and I recently spent a weekend in this wonderful hideaway, and the experience well exceeded our expectations, leaving us with priceless memories that we will cherish forever. The cabin's design creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a true home away from home. It's in an excellent location close to hiking trails and offers numerous options for discovery and adventure. Julia and Gary deserve a special praise for their amazing hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied from the start of our reservation to the end of our stay. I definitely recommend this log cabin if you're searching for an unforgettable Mountain Escape. This location offers everything you might want, whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a single experience. Take the time to enjoy the calmness of the surroundings, bask in the beauty of nature, and make lifelong memories. I'd like to thank the hosts again for a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back to this beautiful mountain retreat!

Disappointing Experience with Hosts

Overall, our experience was unsatisfactory. The hosts micromanaged our stay. First, there was a miscommunication regarding our dogs. As first-time Vrbo users, we selected what we believed to be a pet-friendly property. We had no intention of hiding our pets. However, the host confronted us at 10:30 p.m. after we had been out for 14 hours, accusing us of being deceptive about our dogs. We profusely apologized, offered to pay additional fees, and thought the issue was resolved. We left the property in pristine condition. Despite the host assuring us it was no big deal, they later left a Vrbo review expressing disappointment about us as guests. This two-faced behavior is disheartening. We also suspect the hosts entered our cabin without informing us, as we returned to find a light on when we had left with everything off and locked. Parking in front of the cabin is not allowed to "keep the road quiet." This was challenging as my wife is six months pregnant. We needed to drive up to the cabin to load and unload our belongings, but the hosts gave us a hard time, making the property inaccessible for those with physical limitations. Lastly, while the cabin is as advertised – remote – it’s not ideal if you plan to do activities in Jasper (2.5ish hours away) or need easy access to stores. Overall, I'd leave a 1-star rating due to the hosts' attitude regarding our quiet, clean, well-behaved, and paid-for dogs. However, the property itself was clean and cute.

Warning to future guests with pets, if you have dogs, please be upfront about this at the time of booking. Advise us that you have dogs, book and pay for them prior to arrival. Doing this will prevent us from confronting you and prevent you from feeling micromanaged. Whilst we do not park in front of our cabins, except to load and unload in the summer months, they are only a 1 min walk from the parking area approx 300 feet. This may seem challenging if you have already been out for 14 hours of the day. We are a TWO hour drive from Jasper town, if all your activities are planned around Jasper you may prefer to stay there! FYI..we would never enter a guest cabin without consent, even if we suspect the guest has left a light on. Thank you for taking the time to share our experience with others. Julia & Gary

About the host

Hosted by Julia Walker

Host profile image
Your hosts, the 'Walkers', Gary & Julia. Emigrated to Canada from the North East of England in 2012 and have owned the 'Escape' since 2021. Off-grid hospitality trailblazers! Wild at heart with a soft spot for guest satisfaction.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in Alberta's foothills only 70km NW of Hinton. A place where proposals happen under the Aurora and stars. Customers meet Grizzlies on trail cams and so much more. Magic in the mountainous wilderness. Forested trails, dark skies, crackling fires & wildlife around. Nature at it's finest!

What makes this property unique

A peaceful slice of unplugged paradise. Our dome and cabins are more than just places to stay, they are story starters. Intentionally spaced apart for privacy. Never overlooked and never overcrowded. Say 'Yes' to Adventure and 'No' to cell signal. Luxurious glamping not camping!!
