We had an amazing experience at Jill's Fungi Forest Retreat! Jill and her husband were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. They were always available to help throughout our stay and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Jill is truly an exceptional host, and her hospitality made our trip even more memorable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful retreat.

Jill and her husband Trevor were amazing hosts. We have never stayed anywhere with such kind and welcoming people. Their place was a true sanctuary—so peaceful and relaxing that we didn’t feel like leaving.
They were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. Everything was perfect, and the peaceful atmosphere made it a wonderful place to unwind and recharge.
We will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with wonderful hosts.

I can’t express enough what a wonderful stay we had! We stayed in the hobbit house & there wasn’t a thing I could think of that wasn’t provided for our use. The hostess/host go above & beyond with their hospitality & the pride of this property really shows with all of the lovely details & care that’s been put in. We will definitely be returning & I highly recommend this wonderful gem!

We loved our time at this amazing camp! We had everything we could ask for and more! The ammenities were above and beyond what we were expecting (Hello propane BBQ!) The cabins were roomy and well kept. The solar lights around the property meant that visits to the outhouse were easier after dark and the central camp kitchen area was perfect when the may24 weather started misbehaving.
I cannot state strongly enough how much these hosts went out of their way to make sure we had the best stay possible. Jill gave us a tour of some additional camp areas (The Hobbit hole is on my bucket list) My wife and I felt extremely safe and welcome during our time here and our pups had a blast for their first time camping. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Fungi Forest Retreat
Thank you for such a lovely stay! Such a beautiful piece of land and very unique stay! So many cute touches in the hobbit house. Cozy and comfy. Lots of space to explore and still felt very private. Travelling solo felt very safe on the land and in accommodations. Was such a wonderful reset and pause out in nature. Hosts were very kind and helpful. Will be back!

1 night at Rocky Mountains Glamping
It was my first time camping and it will be my most memorable stay
Corey is a great host, she posted all the instructions on how to arrive at the site in advance.
There are 4 sites but when we arrived there were no other campers which made our trip more adventurous
We stayed at site #1, the bed is comfy and the view early morning is breathtaking
Please take the woods bundle pack from Corey. It will be cheaper for you and you can use as much as you can

The site was super cute and welcoming! The tent and bed were super spacious and comfortable. There are fire pits scattered around the site and they even have one down near the creek with chairs and fairy lights! Absolutely delightful stay and my boyfriend loved it for his surprise gift!

This was so lovely! The tents are clean and tidy, and very cozy and warm. The bed and bedding were toasty and comfy. The land was beautiful and the small creek was so refreshing.
The outhouse was very tidy and nicely organized, but a bit smellier: it was right after a long weekend, so no surprises after lots of use!
It can be a bit tricky to find in the dark and there’s no GPS, so be sure to read the detailed directions very closely BEFORE you lose service, unlike me 😅
Overall, a lovely little getaway space, peaceful and remote, but close to town for needs, and just a quick drive to Waterton.
I also found the host very helpful and responsive which ruled :)

The tent, land, and views were so beautiful. The creek was very nice to be around. The fire-pits were well maintained and they had a bunch of metal sticks for smores and more.
