Weekend Trip to Starry Nights and Northern Lights
A beautiful location! The cabin is quaint and cozy; the crackle of the wood stove makes this an unforgettable experience!

MJ is the most lovely lady. What an honour to be a guest to this property.
The property is very picturesque. And the alpacas and llamas are of course adorable.
Absolutely would recommend staying at this location.
We were in a pinch to find something suitable for what we needed because we're 4 season tenters. Thank you, MJ! From the bottom of our hearts.

The added touches to this stay made it a perfect romantic weekend getaway.
The old woodfire place that was perfect to cook in, the decorative wall hangings, the added extra coffees and hot chocolates, all the plates and silverware you will need.
The outdoor fire pit, the picnic table underneath decorative lights.
It was a magical weekend for two adults and a pup. Only a short drive outside of Edmonton and easy to find. ( 1 hour )
Highly recommend and look forward to going back.

1 night at The Secret Sanctuary
An amazing private, quiet and clean hidden gem. Denika and her family were more than amazing and hospitable. The aspen tent is well equipped and very neat.
I’m adding this spot to my favourite list and encouraging everyone to catch a break at this place.

Great experience! Very helpful and kind. I really liked how they set up the toilet with a sink nearby, so convenient! The llama and the dog they have were absolutely lovely as well.

We loved camping at the Secret Sanctuary! We brought our own glamping and got the breakfast delivered to your site as an add on. Absolutely delicious! The whole experience and vibe of this place is really something special. We were looking for a getaway close to the city that offered privacy (which is hard to find these days) and were not disappointed. We want to bring the whole family next time we come! The hot shower and compost toilets were great, the trails and nearby lakes were awesome for exploring, and Denika and her family were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars! Also make sure to check out the store for amazing salves, delicious teas, and cute pottery!

The weekend was wonderful. The glamping tent was beautiful and the bed was cozy warm. The morning breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire being visited by a llama! We walked the trails and hugged a tree. Great time. Thankyou you Denika and family.

The Secret Sanctuary was an absolutely amazing place to visit. We were in awe of the land and the accommodations the entire time we were there. Our "tent" was outfitted with beautiful furniture, including lovely flooring and accents. More than I ever could have imagined, even for "glamping". Everything inside and out was clean and organized.
The outside shower was next level, what a truly amazing experience. Compost toilets are genius and I LOVED that there was a hand washing station outside of the washrooms.
We got lucky enough to have their dogs around a fair amount, and even got to see the Llama.
There is a fully outfitted outdoor play area, with forts, and swings, and slides, a sand pit, trampoline, and climbing area. The kids never wanted to leave. Denika even let us play inside with her daughter after checking out her store at the main property.
The communication was great, getting add-ons such as firewood and a generator/power pack thing was a breeze.
It is clear that this family cares deeply about their property, their guests, and the land. We are very lucky to have had this experience and cannot wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary
A huge thank you to Denika, Nic and Veona for their incredible hospitality and spirit. We stayed at Aspen glamping site - total magic. Secluded and special - tent was spacious and so comfortable. Add to that yummy breakfast and paddleboarding and you’ve got special memories that will never fade. All the other amenities were close at hand making the experience easy. We added yoga session with Sophia which was so fabulous. Not to mention their two dogs and sweet lama - Bowdie! He’s adorable. Thank you Secret Sanctuary for the lovely experience. We will be back.

it was a wonderful experience! we had a two-day family vacation in the third suite with our own tent, but after we looked around the area and saw what the owners offer, we will definitely come back without a tent ;-) Very spacious, friendly, great trails for walking and everything you need for a wonderful vacation and even more! We highly recommend it!!!

Our family of 5 (kids 8, 6 and 5 years old) had the most amazing glamping experience! The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The entire property was so clean and well-organized, which made for a stress-free stay.
What truly made this trip unforgettable was the abundance of kid-friendly activities. Our children absolutely loved feeding the pigs and visiting the chicken pen and the llama. The trampoline and two fantastic play structures kept them entertained for hours, and the ropes courses were a huge hit. There was so much to do that we never heard a single 'I'm bored!'
We are already talking about our next visit. We will definitely be back!

This was our first tent camping experience. We travelled almost 3 hours to this place based on the reviews. Spent 2 nights and 1 day. Loved this place:
- Privacy and safety: 5/5
- Cleanliness : 5/5 : Eco toilet is something you have to deal with during the stay.
- Host: Super helpful 5/5
- Noice: 3.5/5 - it was generally quiet, but last day there was a party which lasted till 12 AM.
I would recommend this place for anyone who prefers a place which is clean, safe, and private❤️

My daughter and I did a girl’s trip here at Secret Sanctuary and it didn’t disappoint. My daughter loved all the animals, especially the llama. I loved the tranquility and beauty around us. We enjoyed little jaunts to Twin Lakes, Village at Pigeon Lake, and went for pedicures by someone recommended by Denika. Had a great time!

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary
We absolutely loved it. The Birch Glamping tent was our home this past weekend. Truly glamping, the tent was had all the comforts of home, very clean and the bed and futon were very comfortable. Denika and her family are so friendly and welcoming you felt right at ease immediately. This is such a beautiful, quiet and peaceful escape you will want to book your next stay there, I know I will be.
