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.

Shelley was very accommodating and friendly. It was like coming home to family. The site was within a beautiful and peaceful area. At one point, in the neighbouring ranch, there were 2 beautiful horses that came right up to our camper.

Barbara's land offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by stunning natural beauty and a serene atmosphere. My friends and I had an unforgettable stay and truly appreciated Barbara's warm hospitality, along with the cheerful presence of her friendly dog, Fox. The property is a wonderful place to relax, though the bathroom facilities could use some updating. Overall, it’s a delightful spot that I would gladly recommend!

Charming chalet with a spacious deck overlooking a serene pond. Bright, clean interior with a well-stocked kitchen. Fantastic outdoor space perfect for barbecues and campfires. The kids had a blast on the trampoline. Fox is the sweetest, most friendly dog we’ve ever met. Fox remained calm and gentle, even with our feisty puppy around. Loved the Finnish sauna.

I absolutely loved my stay here. The cabin is so cozy and cute. Dani and Josh were amazing hosts, friendly and accommodating in every way. The view of the stars and the atmosphere was beautiful. They even had a telescope in the cabin and a great selection of books to read. The cabin holds heat very well and is the perfect size for 2 people. Daniel and Josh even recommended the cutest little places around town to check out and it made our trip even better. For my stay i was in an air cast and they went out of their way to make sure all areas were shoveled and salted and put out bags to protect the cast from the wet ground and snow. I honestly can't rate my stay high enough. This is deffinetly one to check out!

The hospitality at Dani and Josh's cabin was fantastic! We added on a breakfast basket and charcuterie board, which were both awesome. The cabin was cozy and relaxing with the wood stove, definitely a great place to get a few days of rest and relaxation. Highly recommend the sheep tour!
