At Hillwinds House, it’s all about taking a moment to disconnect from your busy life and reconnect with nature. Build a fire, read a book, brew some coffee, sweat in the sauna, prepare a nourishing meal, and watch the sun set over the valley in the west. We are excited to share our Alberta landscape with its beautiful sky, empty fields, and close up nature details. Hillwinds House is a cozy Nordic-inspired cabin located on the edge of the Meeting Creek valley. The cabin is nestled in the trees on a 5 acre piece of land. The cabin is completely off-grid with a wood burning stove inside to keep it warm. The kitchenette has everything you need to prepare meals: a gas stovetop, sink with gravity water faucet, and a YETI cooler stocked with ice packs to keep your food cool. To access the king sized bed in the loft, a sturdy ladder must be climbed (see photo). Loft and ladder are “use at your own risk.” A wood burning sauna is located just steps from the main house. Walk out on the wrap-around deck and light the fire in the sauna to get your sweat on. During the winter months, a snow bath is recommended for refreshment. (it feels so good!) We also have a handheld shower to rinse off with after the sauna. A wood-burning hot tub bathing area is available for bookings from May to October, and no hot tub is available in the winter months when it is too cold to change the water for each guest. There is a dry flush toilet inside the cabin (in its own bathroom) so there’s no need to freeze your butt off in an outhouse. Sanitary wipes and hands sanitizer are conveniently located in the bathroom with the wash basin in the nearby kitchen. As a guest at Hillwinds House, you will have full access to the entire 5 acre property. Enjoy the spacious deck with valley views, sit in the sauna at dusk and watch the wildlife walk by. (deer, white rabbits, moose, and coyotes) Put on your snow boots or skis and enjoy the trail that winds down the side of the hill towards the Meeting Creek townsite. When you book a stay at the cabin, we’ll send you a welcome booklet with a list of our favourite places to go and things to do locally. We’ll be a few miles away on our farm if you need anything during your stay at Hillwinds House.

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.

Just got back from staying at the most amazing cabin and I’m still in awe. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a little slice of paradise. The cabin was cozy yet spacious, with all the rustic charm you’d hope for but updated with the comforts that make you want to stay forever.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The place is amazing, quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Guillermo, their lovely dog, was a highlight of the trip. He gave us a little “tour” of the property and played happily with our dog, who was thrilled to run off-leash. Kerry is a fantastic host, always quick to answer our questions and make us feel welcome. We truly enjoyed our time here and are already planning our next visit this winter.

My partner and I absolutely loved the cabin. Beautiful details, comfortable bed, nice touches and everything you need to set up a little camp kitchen on the porch. The property is beautiful, the cabin is surrounded by trees. The little outhouse is very cute and does not smell like an outhouse because of the composting toilet. It even has a bag shower. I wish we could have stayed longer, I hope we'll be back!

This is the second time I've visited. Camped last year and stayed in the cabin this year. Absolutely love this space. Very quiet and peaceful. Spent most of our time outdoors, hoping it would rain so we could listen to it hit the metal roof, no such luck. Cabin is well stocked and the hosts are very accommodating. Will definitely be back!

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.

This was our second time staying here in the cabin and it was great. We were worried about privacy with having someone booked the tenting site but we barely knew they were there. The brush really filled in compared to our stay back in May. The hosts were just as nice, friendly and responsive as our first stay. Love that our dogs get along and I didn’t have to worry about mine. She had a blast running around and playing.

1 night at The Secret Sanctuary

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.

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.

We had a nice time at the Rustic Cabin. It was a quick 45 minute drive from our house and the directions were perfect. Eugena was easy to communicate with and the property was beautifully kept. We enjoyed the quiet afternoon, and the temperature dropped overnight so we could have a great sleep. The only problem was that the train whistle woke me up a few times, but other than that, it was a great place to visit. We will visit again!

Such a beautiful and peaceful experience. We just got away for one evening but the second we arrived we were able to turn off and chill. The communication was fantastic and kept us up to date with any little issues that had occured. It is very very rustic and we wished we had been able to stay longer, there was a box of camping supplies for bits we had missed. We walked around the property and loved every second. Will return

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary

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!

The space is very clean, cozy, comfortable, peaceful. We enjoyed our privacy, the camp is safe & family friendly. It was our first camping experience and Denika was a huge helper, she answered all our questions even sometimes wasn’t really related to our booking. The camp is great choice if you want to experience of being camping but very suitable for families especially if you have little ones. Denika’s family -all- were so welcoming and supportive. Her adorable girls are so sweet and great friends if you’ve little ones 🥰 We loved their quick response to change the compost toilet, refilling the water & ….etc Their Homemade Breakfast is a must try, we couldn’t resist reordering it twice😋 Yoga session was relaxing. We enjoyed the sandy beaches at Pigeon lake, Ma-Mo lake, hiking and we rent a water paddle. The Nature Shower was our daily treat after barbecuing and playing. Everything is near by and accessible (15 mins) grocery, clothing, gas station, …. so don’t overpack. Thank you again for having us, we’re grateful for your effort and support and will definitely coming back soon!
