This cabin and location is perfect for a family vacation with your dogs! The cabin is charmingly rustic - everything you need and kid/dog friendly. Our grandsons (4 & 2 years) joined us for a day, brought their bikes and spent hours biking the dirt roads with the dogs chasing them - they loved it! We explored the shoreline looking for interesting rocks, enjoyed watching the trout jumping and birds.Unfortunately, a fire ban was in place, so we did our s’mores on the barbecue wrapped in foil - delicious! (I’ll have to try that at home!) I imagine it would be pretty magical sitting around a fire, star gazing at night, next time!The weather turned wet and chilly, so didn’t get out exploring the trails with the dogs as much as we had planned - especially up to an old teepee ring above the river valley, next time!Joe was awesome, helpful and lots of interesting stories to share about the area. He mentioned he’d done a ‘pick up’ for people who brought their kayaks, again, something to consider for next time!This is a beautiful, unique part of Alberta, many opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and unique historical sites to explore. I feel we just scratched the surface, so looking forward to another trip down the road!(Note, wifi is spotty, so do your googling the area before you arrive.)Thanks Joe for sharing your ranch with us!
