オーナー : Darrel Harker
This cabin is owned by Darrel and Janae Harker. Darrel was born in Lethbridge, Alberta and spent most of his growing up years in the town of Magrath which is east of the cabin.
Janae was born in Berkley California and lived most of her younger years in Oakland California. Darrel and Janae met at University and they were married during the summer of 1972. They later moved to Alberta where Darrel practiced law for 32 years. Darrel and Janae have 4 children and 12 Grandchildren. Their greatest joy is to spend time with their family at the cabin.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The cabin is located on part of the family farm which was originally purchased by Darrel's maternal grandfather in 1903. Darrel's parents worked the farm from about 1940 until his mother died in 2002. Darrel and Janae then Purchased 92 acres of the farm from the estate and the cabin was completed just in time for the family to gather for the Christmas of 2008.
Darrel has memories of living on the property until he was 5 years old at which time his parents moved the family to Magrath (which is 5 miles east of the cabin) and where his mother taught school.
Even though they lived in town, the family would set up a huge army tent next to the river during a number of summers after they moved to town. Their father would work the fields and their mother would stand as the life guard while her children played in the river. Darrel has fond memories of those years. At night he would listen to the noise of the rapids as he went to sleep and built the cabin so his children and grandchildren could create similar memories. Renting the cabin has now created memories for numerous families that have gathered to experience this beautiful location and the joy of being together as a family.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Fishermen love the St. Mary's river. One of our guests caught a rainbow trout that was 16 inches long. I am told that larger fish have been caught up stream closer to the dam. Unfortunately, the river floods about every 10 years and that ruins the fishing for that year; so no promises on whether or not you'll catch a fish. It's a catch and release river and there is a fishing season so check the regulations before you come.
During the spring you will often find geese and swallows nesting on the ledges and walls of the cliffs. We also see pelicans on the river and deer travel through the property about once a week. During the last two years a bald eagle has visited us almost every day. The large rodent that lives on the property is not a gopher. The proper name is Hoary marmot. If mountains are your thing, you will love Waterton National Park. It is less than an hour away and is absolutely beautiful.
