This property was part of a large tree farm that was owned and operated by a well-respected and well-known family in the community. The family subdivided the land before selling the property. The beauty and serenity - and the variety of trees - still exists to this day. Learn more about this land:This cozy, private, and peaceful spot is shaded by mature spruce and pine next to a ravine leading down to a small creek and more than 3 kilometres of hiking/snowshoe trails that meander through the forest and along the creek. Frisbees and horseshoes are available for guests' use. Soak in the peaceful environment and relax in our hammocks or chairs. Two friendly dogs and two friendly cats live on the property and are sure to give you a warm welcome, just as their owners will. Less than 10 min away are lakes and environmental reserves for paddling and fishing, hiking and bicycling, and geocaching. Local amenities (shopping, recreation, banking, groceries) are less than a 10-minutes drive away. Although this property is located not far from major urban centres, with convenient access to major routes to and from Edmonton, Spruce Grove, and Stony Plain, you will feel miles from civilization, thanks to the abundance of trees, privacy and the serenity of the place. It's the best of both worlds!

Nestled into a Valley alongside a winding riverbed, our campsite offers guests a peaceful stay in nature. With a secret beach only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun floating on the river on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the stunning forest leading up to the shore. Our highland cows can also be seen grazing in the pastures nearby! There are ample walking trails with scenic views all over the property- we invite you to explore.
Our 160-acre regenerative agriculture family farm came to be in May of 2021. After previously homesteading on a humble 1-acre property our family had dreams of owning more land where we could establish a farm to call home for many years to come and farm in ways that would be sustainable for generations to follow.
Upon first look, the heart and soul that the original owners poured into this property shone like the sun glaring on the water of the river. We knew this was the perfect place to call home for our growing family, and a place so beautiful we could not wait to share it with others.

This is more setup for rvs or tent trailers. Tents would work we just would have to lay down something for you. It’s a nice fairly quiet area that’s minutes from the Pembina and north Saskatewan river and 23 minutes to the Brazeau damn. Would make for a perfect group camping spot.

The property is very picturesque. And the alpacas and llamas are of course adorable.

The added touches to this stay made it a perfect romantic weekend getaway.
The old woodfire place that was perfect to cook in, the decorative wall hangings, the added extra coffees and hot chocolates, all the plates and silverware you will need.
The outdoor fire pit, the picnic table underneath decorative lights.
It was a magical weekend for two adults and a pup. Only a short drive outside of Edmonton and easy to find. ( 1 hour )
Highly recommend and look forward to going back.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The place is amazing, quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Guillermo, their lovely dog, was a highlight of the trip. He gave us a little “tour” of the property and played happily with our dog, who was thrilled to run off-leash. Kerry is a fantastic host, always quick to answer our questions and make us feel welcome. We truly enjoyed our time here and are already planning our next visit this winter.

Weekend Trip to Avant Gardens
My partner and I absolutely loved the cabin. Beautiful details, comfortable bed, nice touches and everything you need to set up a little camp kitchen on the porch. The property is beautiful, the cabin is surrounded by trees. The little outhouse is very cute and does not smell like an outhouse because of the composting toilet. It even has a bag shower. I wish we could have stayed longer, I hope we'll be back!

2 nights at Avant Gardens
This is the second time I've visited. Camped last year and stayed in the cabin this year. Absolutely love this space. Very quiet and peaceful. Spent most of our time outdoors, hoping it would rain so we could listen to it hit the metal roof, no such luck. Cabin is well stocked and the hosts are very accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Overview
About
Just outside Edmonton, Pigeon Lake Provincial Park is an easy and accessible retreat for the whole family any time of year. In summer, explore the lake by boat or SUP board while fishing for northern pike. After a float, sunbathe on the beach or start a game of horseshoes. As the afternoon gives way to evening, get cozy around a fire and enjoy a lakeside sunset like no other. In winter, work up a sweat cross-country skiing or embrace the low temperatures and go ice fishing. Explore the park’s shoreline and forest through its network of trails, or monkey around on the playground. The park’s two campgrounds offer spacious sites for tents and RVs. Comfort camping is also available—sleep cozy in an insulated yurt with all the luxuries of home.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for creature comforts: There are eight comfort camping yurts available for rent at Pigeon Lake Provincial Park.
- Best for lakeside hikes: Pigeon Lake Campground has a trail around most of the lake.
- Best for avoiding the crowds: Zeiner Campground is typically less crowded than Pigeon Lake Campground.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- This park's close proximity to Alberta's capital city means summertime reservations, at both campgrounds, book up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. For a summer trip, make a reservation months ahead of time.
- Pigeon Lake Campground usually fills up before Zeiner Campground.
- There are some winter campsites at Pigeon Lake Campground, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You'll have no trouble snagging a winter site.
- Weekends at the eight comfort camping yurts typically book up at the beginning of the reservation season, which starts in May. If you've missed out on a weekend slot, plan a trip during the week instead. The comfort yurts are only available from May to September.
When to go
As one of Alberta's most popular summer recreation sites, campers can get the most out of a trip in July and August, when the beach area is a dream, boaters can make the most of the boat launch, the biking is good fun, and the sunsets last for what feels like hours. That being said, this park is busy! Avoid the bustle by visiting this part of Canada in the fall. Come bundle up and kayak on the lake before it freezes. When you get back to shore, you can warm up by the fire pit and enjoy some s'mores. If you don’t mind Alberta's frigid temperatures, winter camping means you can cross-country ski on the groomed trails and make the most of winterized campsites.
Know before you go
- The Village at Pigeon Lake is a great place to find groceries, restaurants, cafes, a pharmacy, and a gas station. There's also a concession at Pigeon Lake Campground, which is open during the summer months. The store only accepts cash.
- Both Pigeon Lake Campground and Zeiner Campground have designated swimming areas, but watch for signage or check Alberta Parks advisories before jumping in. Pigeon Lake sometimes has a blue-green algae advisory in effect. Avoid swimming if that's in place.
- Fishing is a popular activity at this park, but before casting your line, you'll need a provincial fishing licence. Licences are easy to get online or at many sporting and convenience stores.
