Cozy log cabin
I really enjoyed my stay at this log cabin. The cabin itself is very well equipped in terms of the various amenities. The bed is very comfortable, and everything was very clean. I'm someone that really enjoys a campfire, and the little grove where the firepit is located is perfect. 13/10, would rent again.

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).

Cozy and quiet
My husband and I along with our dog wanted a place away from the hustle and bustle of Calgary for a few night. It was a bit hot in the cabin but the cabin came with one fan and we brought two more from home so wasn’t too bad. Nice trails through the woods which our dog loved and there was a nice river to wade in to cool down in.

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.

We enjoyed our two night stay. Despite the frigid temperatures outside, the cabin was cozy and comfortable. We took advantage of the walking path through the woods.
