The property was kept in very good condition. The house is beautiful and was very welcoming. Check-in was very easy with instructions that were provided by the host. The kitchen had everything we could think of. Only suggestion would be to have candles for the deck to help with the hornets at flies.

The very best weekend!

I don’t think I will find another spot to top this girls birthday weekend! The kitchen was well equipped, beds comfy, lots of seating both inside and out and the hot tub was fantastic. It was a quiet and peaceful weekend of playing cards, chilling and food.

Beautiful, relaxing cabin with a wonderful view of the lights

We stayed at the cabin for 2 days and wished we could stay longer! It was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing end to our week in Alberta. We also had a lovely view of the Northern Lights!! I could even see them from the well positioned beds. I would stay here again in a second, only I'll stay longer next time

This holiday retreat is truly exceptional, showcasing the owners' commitment to creating a luxurious cabin experience. The thoughtful details and exquisite finishing touches contribute to its unique charm, making it a standout destination. The beds offer remarkable comfort, while the inviting deck and outdoor spaces provided the perfect setting for our evening relaxation. The addition of a hot tub was a delightful bonus, especially after a day of biking or hiking. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need during your stay.Nestled near Elk Island National Park, the location is ideal for a tranquil escape, equipped with all the essentials for a memorable getaway. The owners were incredibly accommodating, promptly addressing all our inquiries before and during our stay, including even the most specific questions about the area. The checkin process was extremely straightforward and all details provided well in advance of our arrival. I wholeheartedly recommend this cabin to family and friends and look forward to returning in the near future.

Average home

The home is beautiful aside from it being poorly insulated, which made for a very cold stay. The fireplace did warm the upstairs, but the downstairs was extremely cold.

Nice Getaway, but We Had Some Issues

We were very excited to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city and our demanding jobs. Overall, it’s a beautiful cabin, with many lovely upgrades, but we were disappointed in a few things. Before the trip even started, we had to ask three times for the instructions on how to enter the property (passcode for the door). The first request was a couple days before our arrival, as the instructions say, and twice on the day of our arrival. A little nerve wracking when we our 10 minutes away from the cabin, it’s an hour or so past the checkin time of 3:30pm, and at approx 4:30pm we had finally got the instructions. On day 2, had an ant infestation that took up 1 of my 3 vacation days killing and sweeping them, which didn’t prove to be relaxing at all. The owners were excellent to respond and get ant traps & spray for us, but it took a lot of time for the ants to die and go away. The cabin has rules posted just about everywhere you turn, and the owners also send the same rules with the passcode for door. This is not relaxing… to open a beside table drawer, and to see the rules posted in there too! Like you state in the rules, if something is damaged or missing, it’ll be taken out on the primary’s credit card, which is completely understandable in rental situations. We found the outdoor furniture was in rough shape, and not clean. Overall we didn’t see the value for the price we paid.
