Collin’s Wood is a very special place indeed. The land was bought by my grandfather years ago when he moved to Canada from England and wanted to chase his log cabin dream. Our main cabin my family built from trees on the land, entirely by hand. We have photos of the trees being cut and the bark being peeled off. Since then, we’ve made many changes out there, we now have a guest cabin that used to be a Teacheridge (back when teachers would live in a one room building beside the school), eventually it was turned into a cafe and now it sits on our land as a guest cabin. This place is so magical. With a quarter section of land I grew up running through the forest with my friends and learning about what the land has to offer. My parents have spent every spare weekend out there making this paradise into what it is today. All the buildings were created by my family through labour and love. We’ve hosted weddings, and family reunions. We hope you appreciate how special this place is. Come see for yourself!

We have 156 acres of incredible farm land for you to enjoy.
The parking pad is right across from the house, to the left of the driveway. Back in or drive in, there's lots of room to do either. You are welcome to enjoy a campfire, we have lots of wood available. Let us know if you need the picnic table, sometimes we have it up by the house.
Once you are settled in, take your time to walk around. You can birdwatch from your campsite, the feeders by the house are a busy bird haven.
Walk to the gate and check out the pond and the grazing horses. Ask how to be safe as you walk in the pasture. Pet them if they agree to it, or walk down the trail into the forest. There are many trails to follow down there. You are welcome to use the firepit and picnic area in the bottom. Listen for the birds, we have many different sparrows, warblers and other birds that don't stop singing. If you are lucky, you might see some deer or great horned owls.
The yard is open to the big sky. Watch storms come and go, see the stars and some nights you might see the northern lights. Bring your bug spray, the mosquitoes can be aggressive. Listen to the frogs, the coyotes and other country sounds.
We have fresh eggs every day from our chickens and fresh veggies in season from our garden.
We also have an incredible life skills program called Horse Connect, that you can book an afternoon with a group. You can learn more about it at horseconnect.ca. Look us up on our Facebook page too.

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway, surrounded by gardens and trees, with three acres to explore. Horse lovers are welcome, and bed and bale accommodations can be provided.
This one-bedroom private cabin is tucked away in a lush, green setting. Wake up to the sounds of birdsong and the horses neighing in the fields. Help yourself to Saskatoon berries, rhubarb, or apples when they're in season. Fresh-laid eggs will soon be available upon request.
We're just a few minutes from town and easy to find. Google Maps can be a bit confusing, as it lists the wrong postal code and town. Don't worry—the map pin will guide you to the right place.
We have two driveways separated by a white fence. Please use the second driveway, drive past the shop, and you'll see a building on the right. Feel free to pull up to the little porch—we aren't protective of the grass! The green door is your entrance. We'll leave the door unlocked on check-in days, and you'll find the key inside.
If you need anything during your stay, just let us know!

Rocky Wolf Ranch is an active sled dog farm located in the quiet rural area south of Rocky Mountain House. Surrounded by forest, meadows, and wide-open skies, it offers nature, tranquility, and plenty of space to breathe.
Prairie Creek flows directly along the ranch. Depending on water levels, guests can swim, relax by the shore, or fish with a valid Alberta fishing permit. Canoeing is also possible under suitable conditions. Hiking trails begin right on the property and lead through wooded areas and open clearings.
Wildlife is naturally part of the surroundings. With a bit of luck, you may spot deer, elk, coyotes, beavers, wild geese, and occasionally even a puma in the distance. The ranch is not a resort but a genuine piece of nature—authentic and untouched.
Our sled dogs live here at Rocky Wolf Ranch. Guided sled dog experiences can be booked in both summer and winter. Guests learn about the history, breeding, training, and daily life of these remarkable dogs. In winter, dog sledding programs are offered depending on snow conditions. In summer, kennel visits, informative experiences, or hikes with the dogs are available.
In addition, we offer archery and simple outdoor activities for families. Children especially enjoy small discovery adventures through the forest, searching for animal tracks, or having a picnic in an idyllic clearing.
If you are looking for luxury and urban comfort, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate nature, animals, fresh air, and an authentic ranch atmosphere, you will feel at home here.

I had such a peaceful and memorable stay at Happy Hut in Sundre. I came here on my own with my dog, and it was the perfect little escape.
The views were absolutely beautiful, and I loved being able to slow down, enjoy the quiet, and take in the scenery. Geri and Pat were wonderful hosts — friendly, welcoming, and made the stay feel very comfortable.
The best part was probably seeing my dog make friends with Piper! It was such a sweet little bonus and made the stay even more enjoyable.
A beautiful place to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy some time in nature. I’d definitely come back!

Simply fabulous on every level! This well-equipped treehouse made a quick getaway super easy --that much was essential for us. What pushed this hipcamp above-and-beyond:
-the spectacular beauty of the land
-the charm of the treehouse and surrounding property with fun surprises all over the place, some decorative, some functional, some humorous, some inspirational
-visits with the super friendly horses that free roam the property
-the warmth and hospitality of the hosts
So much is supplied (bedding, kitchen supplies, lighting) it is easier to list what you do need to bring: your food, personal items (clothing, toiletries), perhaps a swim suit for the sauna, and hotdog sticks (I got a whole set of compact telescoping ones for 10 bucks on Amazon). Hand warmers in the fall.
We only had 24 hrs for a getaway. The ease of coming here was key for me to unwind like I needed. Seeing the milky way, visiting with horses, roasting countless marshmallows (and weiners, and pineapple...), making new memories with my kids, and just aimlessly wandering the sprawling grounds was the tonic I needed after a very stressful couple months. Thank you so much, Geri and Pat!!
