2 nights at RUGER RIDGE
A cozy spot with everything we needed for an easy get away from Edmonton. Beautiful walking trails and 5 minute drive from a little lake with lots of wildlife. The dogs Cooey and Ruger were great hosts as well!

2 nights at Everlong Acres
This spot is a true gem with everything you could possibly need for your trip. The tent is so spacious and well maintained. The bed is super comfortable, and using the heater on the chilly mornings was a life saver. The hosts are so welcoming and accommodating, and communication was so easy with quick responses. Absolutely recommend booking your next trip here.

Weekend Trip to Everlong Acres
We loved our stay! The amenities were great, and the tent was super cute and cozy. We loved all the provided games, and the binder with the recommendations for stuff to do around the area! There were a lot of spiders, but they mostly stayed out of our way. Would definitely recommend staying here — just remember to bring some bug spray!
