Unplug and recharge in your own private forest retreat, just minutes from Edmonton. Set among towering spruce and pine, this secluded campsite overlooks a quiet ravine and creek, with over 3 km of private trails to explore right from your site. Whether you're hiking, snowshoeing, or simply wandering through the trees, the experience is शांत, immersive, and entirely your own. Designed for relaxation, the space features hammocks, seating areas, and room to unwind beneath the canopy. Evenings are best spent by the fire, surrounded by forest sounds and open sky. Unlike crowded campgrounds, this is a true private-use site—no соседей, no noise—just nature, space, and stillness. Friendly dogs and cats live on the property and may come by for a visit(they can be secured, if necessary), adding to the warm, welcoming feel of the land. Despite the peaceful setting, you're only 10 minutes from lakes, paddling, fishing, and local amenities in Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and the greater Edmonton area. This is an ideal escape for couples, solo campers, or anyone looking for a quiet, restorative nature experience without a long drive. We carefully maintain this space for those who appreciate privacy, cleanliness, and a respectful connection to nature.

Carmen was very welcoming, thoughtful, and accommodating! This was an absolutely lovely little retreat with lots of attention to detail both inside the cabin and out. We got to watch birds, feed squirrels, and enjoy a beautiful evening under the stars with the glowing ambiance of the fire table. Carmen also gave us some great recommendations for local sites, and we had a wonderful time exploring.

We opted to purchase breakfast in the morning from them and it was delicious. We only came for a night but I can’t say enough good things about the experience we had. We even got a tour on a ATV & opportunity to see some ojibwe spirit horses. Truly a hidden gem! 🤩 We will be back this summer or fall. Thank you both so much!
