Magical Stay in Alberta!
What a magical experience! Joe is the most kind, warm, and welcoming host you could ask for. He had so many great stories to share, making our stay even better. Huey the doggo is a great pal that will play endless fetch with you too! It's quiet, serene, healing. There's no cellphone signal, so you can actually unplug and relax. Just a 1-minute walk to the river where you can catch beautiful sunsets every evening. We loved seeing so many deer roaming around! We caught 2 fish (with worm) - but remember here it is catch and release! There are a couple other beautiful spots nearby (~20mins, Beavermines in the mountains and Lee Lake where you can catch and eat!). The wood stove kept the place super cozy and the tap water is drinkable, which was a nice plus. There's outlets to charge equipment. And warm water for scrubbing down. There are so many places to hang out; around the fire, in the bedrooms, in the outdoor living room, and the indoor living room. There are extra showers down the path if needed, and an extra bathroom just outside (the most beautiful "outhouse" I have ever seen)! The road to drive in is pretty smooth and maintained. You can go up to the main cabin for wifi, but it's extremely slow. So download your Netflix movies ahead of time. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance! We will be back one day!

A stay here is like getting to enjoy your own personal nature sanctuary. A peaceful time in the woods, filled with birds and georgeous views. Bring the pups, they will love wandering the woods with you! The host Joe is super friendly, knowledgable, amd wants you and your family to have a dream getaway.

I have been taking my 4 grandchildren aged 10 to 15 on a summer holiday for the past 5 years. I chose this property because it was on the river for fishing and swimming, close to Waterton for hiking and sightseeing and close to amenities yet rural. The kids and I really enjoyed floating down the river and exploring the ranch especially visiting with the dogs and horses. The cabin was comfortable and the bedding was good quality. Joe was welcoming and very helpful.

I was working at the Pincher Creek Hospital for the week and my Husband and Kids had the cabin to themselves for the week. Tons of exploring to do at the property and at any of the provincial parks/recreation areas within 30 minutes. We brought our bikes and the kids (ages 5 and 8) got a ton of bike riding in.

Perfect getaway from your regular desk job
Joe’s cottage is inside of a story. It’s in the middle of nowhere and you can completely forget your regular life if you stay there for a few days. There is no phone signal or internet and the number of quirky things in the house will easily keep you busy. Do take friends though, or people you can talk to. We went when saskatoon berries were plenty and we kept eating them throughout our stay. The dogs are a friendly lots; so well behaved. We tried our hand at fishing, flew kites, cooked, read, played the Guitar. Just pack some clothes and groceries and you’re all set ! Do take some bug spray if you have kids as mosquitoes are plenty in the evening. Loved the stay completely and we had all the privacy. Joe was a great host and answered all the question promptly right from before the booking till after we checked out. Highly recommend!

Fishing trip
Perfect getaway away from other campers. The spot on the river is beautiful, and quiet. Joe seemed truly interested in our comfort and activities we wanted to engage in. While the river was not in good shape during our stay due to the Olman Dam operators actions, I did catch one of the largest Brown's I've ever put a hand to during my 40+ years of flyfishing. Do not be afraid to sit and tell stories with Joe. He has a lifetime of them, and is interesting listening. You will not be sorry to rent for a spell

We wanted a place we could stay that would be away from the busy city. This property was very quiet. Being very close to the river was very nice. Our dog had a blast having such a open space to explore. We will be back, for sure.

Amazing rustic getaway
Joes cabin was exactly what we needed. A quiet getaway for the week. Based along the Oldman river, with amazing views. The cabin has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. There was nothing that was lacking from the cabin. There is no wifi, unless you go up to the main cabin ( that was the best part, no interruptions 😊) a great escape!! Joe and the dogs are the best part of the vacation. Joe has amazing tips for fishing and great stories to tell. He is truly an amazing gentleman. We will stay with Joe again, and we highly recommend his great cabin. Thank you Joe, for sharing your piece of paradise with us

A great option to disconnect
I wanted to find a secluded spot where I could get away with my boys, to leave behind the busyness of the city, and this property delivered. Having the river steps from the front door was amazing. Being close enough to needed amenities and interesting things to see and do was also a bonus. It was not clear when I booked that the cabin has no cell service, let alone wifi. This presented challenges as my partner and I had a work call planned, and to say my three teenagers were disappointed is a bit of an understatement. That being said, we made the best of it and ended up making some great memories. This is a perfect option to disconnect from a busy life for a while. Next time, the kids can stay home with their wifi, and I might book a time of year when it's not so hot outside!
