Perfect cabin
Really nice cabin, small but comfortable. It has everything you need for your stay. Private location, very close to river. We spend most of our time by the river or by the fire pit. Big plus is close location to Calgary (less than 2 hours drive).

Exactly what we were looking for!
We were looking for an elevated camping experience. We are done with sleeping in a tent and want to be able to shower all the bug spray off at the end of the night. This had everything we could need and the property as BEAUTIFUL especially the private river beach. Our only feedback would be a screen door on the cabin so we can have the door open in the morning and evening.

Quiet getaway
We were looking for a quiet weekend getaway. We saw that there was no internet or t.v. either. This worked well for our needs. Nice walk down to the river and a campfire pit just for us. Have already recommended this location to our friends.

Peaceful stay
We had a great time at the log cabin, it was great to disconnect from the city, everything was lovely and neat. We enjoyed walking to river and our 2 year old son had lot of fun playing with the dog outside in the backyard. Daniel was a great host, very friendly and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend this place :)

This property is an excellent place to relax! No tv so you can spend time reading or playing games. We had a fire and we went for walks by the river. We will certainly return!
