At The River is a boutique riverside nature retreat nestled on a 100-acre private nature sanctuary in wild Alberta, just 1.5 hours northwest of Edmonton. With private access to the Freeman River just 30 metres from the cabin, you'll enjoy your own peaceful stretch of riverfront complete with a natural swimming hole, a stone and pebble shoreline, and a sandy island in the middle of the river. Spend your days swimming, floating the current, exploring the shoreline, or simply relaxing by the water. As evening falls, gather around the riverside campfire (firewood provided!) and soak in the golden sunset before a sky full of stars and if you're lucky, northern lights. Wake up to the sound of the river, birdsong, and the wind moving through the trees. Beyond the river, explore forest trails, wetlands, scenic viewpoints, and abundant wildlife. Deer, beavers, bald eagles, owls, and countless songbirds are common visitors, while moose, bears, coyotes, cougars and other native wildlife also call this sanctuary home. The cozy cabin comfortably sleeps up to four adults and features one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, a fireplace, propane stove, and a private outdoor washhouse with a hot shower, sink, and toilet. 2 toddler mattress are available upon request. Although our family home is located approximately 300 metres away on the hill, the cabin enjoys its own peaceful riverside setting immersed in nature. Explore the Area While the sanctuary offers plenty to explore, you'll also find several local gems just a short drive away. Schuman Lake (10 minutes) – A peaceful, crystal-clear lake perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, and rainbow trout fishing. With only non-motorized watercraft permitted, it's one of the area's most tranquil destinations. Goose Lake (15 minutes) – Enjoy a sandy beach, boating, swimming, walking trails, picnic areas, and excellent fishing opportunities for northern pike and yellow perch. Wild Violet Acres (15 minutes) – Browse a charming organic farm store featuring fresh produce, homemade bread, local meats, artisan foods, and specialty groceries. Gems Café & Bistro (10 minutes) – Enjoy fresh, locally inspired meals at one of the area's favourite cafés.

Under The Stars. By ThecRiver

Private Riverside Forest Cabin

Nice greeting and info upon arrival. Easy directions and property location. Cabin feels private and is a nice distance from other property. The river is so close you can hear it constantly. Beautiful view. Quiet and peaceful. Lots of firewood, and the firepit is large and is easy to get going. A good selection of seating options. Has a rustic feel, but still comfortable. The wash-house with shower and toilet, was extremely clean and well maintained. Barrhead is close enough, but Fort Assi' is only 10 mins away. A solid little selection of small town amenities. I would definitely come back. The stars at night were mind-blowing, and even saw the northern lights for a brief time. Well maintained property. Thanks for having us. Cheers till next time.
