Go Hard Ranch is a place where the world slows down and the land does the talking. Once the Rehn family’s homestead, its history still lives in the old wash house, the cook house, and the trails shaped by generations who worked this ground with their hands and hearts. Today, the ranch carries that legacy forward while welcoming new stories beneath wide Alberta skies.
Set above the quiet sweep of Chip Lake, wild, open, and often forgotten, the ranch feels remote yet sits just minutes off the Yellowhead. It’s close enough for an easy escape, far enough that the noise of life falls away the moment your boots hit the dirt.
Authentic hand‑painted tipis, cozy cabins, and a historic log homestead cabin offer stays that feel rooted and real. Each space invites you to slow down: watch the horses graze, wander the trails, breathe in the stillness, and let the wind and birdsong set the pace. Wildlife moves freely here, and sunrise over the lake is worth waking early for. Evenings settle softly around the fire, and nights stretch wide with stars. Whether you’re gathering with friends, sharing a quiet moment with someone you love, or exploring with family, the ranch becomes whatever you need, adventure, peace, or a place to simply be.
Go Hard Ranch is rugged, warm, and unforgettable. A place where history hums through the timber, where the sky feels endless, and where every stay leaves a little dust on your boots and a lot of calm in your bones.

I own 10 acres of land surrounded by farmers. We used to raise chickens and make big gardens every years, but my husband had health issues and we pretty much stopped.
My husband has since passed away and I find that this property is getting too big for me.
The best part about my place in my opinion is that it is mostly trees and very natural, and of course that there is a nice lake called Long island lake 15 minute drive from my home. It's fenced all around and extremely private.
Big from yard for sports and lots of natural beauty all around.

MJ is the most lovely lady. What an honour to be a guest to this property.
The property is very picturesque. And the alpacas and llamas are of course adorable.
Absolutely would recommend staying at this location.
We were in a pinch to find something suitable for what we needed because we're 4 season tenters. Thank you, MJ! From the bottom of our hearts.

Magical. It’s the only word to describe what Adam has created at Sky Hound Ranch. He’s developed a welcoming space full of intention, purpose and gratitude. It’s calming and exciting. Highly recommend staying here and really living and partaking in all they have to offer at the ranch. Their knowledge is immense. We will definitely be back!

Our recent stay at this campsite was truly fantastic — the warm hospitality, beautiful grounds, and attention to cleanliness made it special from start to finish. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and we especially loved meeting their pets, who added an extra touch of comfort and fun to our visit. Being surrounded by nature’s calls—rustling trees, squirrels, and birds—made us feel completely at one with the outdoors. We can’t wait to return next summer and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly getaway in nature!

Was a very nice place. Meeting Adam and learning about ranch was a wonderful experience. Very hospitable and so relaxing. The lake was a short drive away. It was really hot so we were able to have a water gun fight around the campsite. It’s a wonderful place and would go again.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a weekend away from the busyness of our farm, and Creek’s Edge provided that “home away from home” we were looking for. R & M were great hosts, and their four-legged “co-hosts” were happy to keep us company while we relaxed and unwound. Thank you both for the opportunity to have a weekend away, while still being close to home!

We had a lovely time at Adam’s property. It is a very scenic spot, surrounded by a meadow. It is a working cattle ranch, and Adam gave us tour of his ethical cattle ranching operation. My kids loved it. You are surrounded by nature, trees and horses which was lovely to wake up to. There is the world’s friendliest barn cat who made herself at home with us, too. It is rustic as described in the listing with a fair amount of bugs in the heat of the summer. We had a screen tent for cooking and eating which made it fine. There is a big firepit for roasting hot dogs and s’mores which we did every night. It’s so remote that you can see all the stars at night. Adam really was an amazing host, running an extra power cord to our tent and helping when I ran out of propane. It was a pleasure to stay on his ranch and I would definitely recommend it!
