Surrounded by three big lakes, just off the Yellowhead, and nestled into a community of hobby farms and cattle ranches, Hempcrete Haven is a perfect hideaway. The 40 acre family farm has been wild pasture and forest for decades. Rolling pasture, ponds, forests and native berries galore. We steward this land with care. Stay tuned for more cabins! Including a smaller dome in the back 40, and dome greenhouses!Welcome to our 40 acres! About 10 minutes off the Yellowhead and surrounded by a treasure trove of activities and nature. *** NOTE: The dome is currently undergoing extensive upgrades, including a new roof, more windows, and refinishing walls. It should be ready for campers by the end of July! We have rolling fields, ponds, forests and natural abundance. Go for an herbal walk and respectfully collect herbs. Enjoy the easy/moderate hike to the deep dark black spruce forest. Or, just relax on our safe and secure site. Perfect for those who want a bit of extra security during their stay (owner lives/works on site), and are interested in learning about natural building! We have several demonstration structures, including a hempcrete greenhouse, outhouse, and under-construction tiny house. The hempcrete dome is located near the main house, is about 16 feet in diameter or 200 square feet. It has three beds, a double and two singles, that fold into seating when not in use. There is a trick to the folding (ikea) so let us know if you need a hand. Bedding is not included. We do have free run hens, so please respect their search for tasty bugs in the grass. ----- Why hempcrete? Hempcrete is a code-accepted engineered infill technique made using local materials. The walls are naturally anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. They actually clean the air, as well as keep it cooler in summer, and easy to heat in winter. It's also virtually fireproof. Yes, you can build hempcrete to code. ----- Within 10 minutes you can head to Wabamun Provincial Park and town, and Alberta Beach. We have an excellent popular fishing hole just over 5 minutes away (Pitt Lake). We are about 25 minutes from Pembina Provincial Park. The dome is perfect all seasons! We have a heater available if needed, but these super insulated structures are very cost right up to the coolest parts of winter! We are just off the Yellowhead, and only a few hours from Jasper. Please note we do have a loud noise curfew of 9:30 pm. ********************************************************************************** DUE to EXTREME FIRE risk there is no smoking or fires of any type on the property. **********************************************************************************

Nestled among 40 acres of serene beauty, this campsite offers a unique escape with its charming hempcrete domes and welcoming hosts. Guests consistently praise Christina’s hospitality, noting her accommodating nature and the cozy atmosphere of the domes. The presence of friendly farm animals adds to the charm, and while some mention the proximity of the dome to the main house, privacy is respected. Overall, it’s an ideal spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy a peaceful retreat.
