Wakita

Wakita encompasses 25 acres of diverse wilderness and clearings.  The land was developed in the 70's as an education, arts and health retreat and that history influences its atmosphere today.

A small mountain creek meanders past gardens, berry patches, rustic cabins and a stage.  The land is peppered with Ancient burned out cedar trunks that stand as a testament to the wildfire that razed the valley and the town of Fernie in the early 1900's.  If guests are interested in a tour we will show you our favorites!

Since Wakita borders on the wilderness of BC, we ask that our guests exercise common sense when it comes to food and fires.  Upon arrival, we will provide information on the use of woodstoves, firepits, composting outhouses (for a-frame and campsites), etc.

Wakita is a 15 min drive from all of the amenities and adventure available in beautiful Fernie, BC.  Explore further up our road and you will find the trailheads for popular hikes to Mount Hosmer, the Three Sisters and Heiko's trail.

Our Hipcamp accommodations consist of our glamping a-frame, an unserviced RV/tenting site and a fully serviced cabin.  We look forward to being a part of your Fernie adventure! 

Sweet Beach House-edge of water

About this space

Welcome to your ecological pristine Oasis.

Nestled steps from the untamed edge of Kootenay Lake, this remote cabin isn't just a place to stay—it's an invitation to experience life at its most extraordinary. It is a destination by itself. This is your passport to a world where nature reigns supreme; adventure lurks around every emerald-green corner, and artistry dances with the elements.

The moment you step inside, you'll be surrounded by the warmth of this relaxed lakeside cabin.  Some of the features are made from found beach wood and every piece has a story and it's as if the very soul of the lake is intertwined in the cabins design. The cabin has one queen size bed, a comfy sofa, extra large bar fridge, fan, delightful kitchenette and vintage wood stove. 

The cabin in incredible but the outdoor 1950’s inspired kitchen will blow your mind. Stocked with the means to make a gourmet meal, you will want to use more than just the BBQ. 

Extra guests

Washing and relieving

Once you’ve had enough swimming for the day, experience the tropical on-demand outdoor shower. All the guests say it feels as if they are showering in Hawaii. The outhouse is sparkling clean and private.

WIFI

The cabin and entire beach area is 5 bar WIFI.

Artistry in Every Corner

The walls are adorned with a fusion of artistry including the entirely reclaimed wood on the walls and counter.

Beachside Paradise

Plunk yourself in a provided lawn chair, or take a dip in water, then get ready for the star show. With no dwellings on the other side of the lake, there is no light pollution here. Very special. Let the cool waters of Kootenay lake soothe your soul as you soak in the sights and sounds of the untamed forest around you. Oh, and don't forget the BBQ—grilling your freshly caught fish while surrounded by nature's bounty is an experience like no other.

Aqua playtime

There are paddle boards, and a vintage cedar strip canoe all available for your enjoyment. I also have a 16ft catamaran and fishing boat where you can book times with me if you desiring a little extra adventure, weather permitting.

Consciousness and responsibility

Please do not bring plastic water bottles. The water here is divine.

Also you are required to recycle and keep the beach clean and clear from buts and garbage at all times.

Fire pit

Who does not love a late night bonfire? Roast your dinner, poke the fire and relax as the lake reflects the dancing flames. Pretty magical. 

Endless Lake Vistas

Your cabin is perched on the edge of the crystal clear water, and you'll hear the waves crashing on the beach just steps away. It's the kind of view that makes you believe in the magic of the world. And the sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular.

Foodie's Dream

The Kitchen is fully equipped, comfortable, and spacious with a gas stove and oven, cooler, blender, orange juice press, toaster oven, stovetop espresso maker, as well as the coffee, sugar, olive oil salt and pepper. The local farms in this secluded paradise are where culinary dreams come true. The quality of the food here is beyond compare. Think fresh, think flavourful, think farm-to-table in its purest form. Enjoy fresh greens from my own garden. And drink the cleanest water straight from the tap which is provided by a high mountain creek. Best water in the world. 

The dining experience is equally enchanting, with options to enjoy your meals with the sunset view outside with many options of tables and decks.

Adventures Await

This lakeside tropical dream come true is surrounded by hidden gems that'll keep your inner explorer satisfied. Catch a few waves on the paddle board then cast your line and reel in the catch of the day.  Or get your laces tied up on your walking boots and  embark on one of the hundreds of hiking trails on the East shore. 

If you're seeking a retreat that's part creative haven, family get away, romantic celebration, all paradise, this lakeside cabin on the edge of Kootenay Lake is calling your name. Escape the ordinary, embrace the extraordinary, and let the wild spirit of Kootenay lakes untamed coastline carry you away. Book your stay now, and prepare to write your own chapter in the story of this remote Canadian jungle haven, where eagles fly and art and nature intertwine in perfect harmony.

Guest access

Free parking is located at the main house and then the 100 stairs to your paradise await. Please pack accordingly.  You will have complete privacy from 8pm-10am as I restrict beach use during this time.  The beach is massive and has plenty of space for privacy during the daytime and since there is another rental on the property you can expect 2 other cool people and myself to come down for dips, sailing and more. 

More more more

For further adventures in culinary exploration, foraging, fermenting, massage, sailing or fishing, please enquire so we can be sure your stay is exactly how you imagined it.

Sharing

There is another rental home on the property and they have access to a portion of the beach so please be friendly, respectful and courteous.  Or better yet, rent both locations for your group. 

All amenities are yours but please share the paddle boards and canoe.

Murphy's Gold Creek Ranch

I sold a business in Toronto and moved West in 1990 and drove all over North America looking for a new place to settle and raise a family.

 While camping in the Kootenay's I found this oasis and bought it.

 I have raised a family living totally off the grid since and love it.

 The water here is so clean and and the air is so fresh is why I stay.

 The night sky is so hard to explain it has to be seen to believe.

Come check it out and you will agree.

Questions . Many people ask…

1) .”How far are we from Banff…

2 hours of a beautiful drive that includes kootenay national park. 

2)..Important ❗️❗️Please do not bring firewood from other areas to our camp as our property is heavily treed forest  and we do not want any transfer of raw wood bugs. We offer $10 generous bundles of wood. 

3) When you book, One tent or RV and one vehicle per site. If you are looking to book for a group of friends/family area, we can help with that.. prior to booking. 

Also, we reserve the right to put you in the best possible spot to fit in a proper site for what you are camping in and what your needs are. Often people book a site that’s completely wrong for them… but that’s ok… we will fix it. 😊

4) Smoking only on sand at sites and nowhere else on our property  Please use a container to hold your butts. 

5) Noise restrictions after 9pm…no music or loud behaviour after that.   Strictly enforced. We value respect in the camp for all campers.

Campers… please do Not put any garbage, of any kind,  and especially diapers in our pit toilets. . thank you   

Blacksmith Landing is a safe, spacious and peaceful camp where minimal environmental impact is encouraged.  We are faithful stewards and respect our beautiful forested lands and animals   Our expectation is that campers will also share this respect for our Eco systems in an environmentally friendly way. 

As we take this Hipcamp journey together, we are finding little things we can do to make your stay better…Like offering a complimentary table at your site should you require one…. or adjusting the site you booked  to one that would perhaps fit your needs much better as we know it’s difficult to choose a perfect site on line. If you forgot something, we probably have one…. Feel free to ask.
