Great lakefront property with lots of activities. The fire pit and kayak were great features to enjoy in the afternoon and in the evening. The property is clean, well-maintained, and well-equipped. We had a wonderful stay.
Beautifully maintained, clean, and modern accommodation. We really enjoyed our time here and found the setting peaceful and comfortable. Included amenities were very thoughtful, and there were a few extras on top of that.

Great place for a getaway nice and quiet area. Would definitely go here again in the future.
The check-in process was so easy. The place was clean and had all the amenities. The bed was comfortable. The area is so quiet and peaceful. We were able to have a fire each night. It was nice to watch the birds on the water and see so many stars at night.
This is such a cute, cozy and immaculately clean place to stay. It has everything you will need for a comfortable place to relax.
I had one little hiccup (my own doing) that was handled immediately and with kindness.
We were very pleasantly surprised at the location, very scenic and serene. The cabin was the most comfortable VRBO we've rented in a longtime very clean along with very comfortable beds. Everything was supplied, the only issue was we could only be there for 3 days. We definitely will try to rent this cabin the next time we're in southern Alberta. Thank you for the awesome stay.

The location was picturesque and convenient being around 30 minutes from Waterton, Cardston, Pincher Creek. Cottage was very well appointed and the park pass was a nice surprise. Everything was great.

The cabin itself was amazing. Lots of amenities and nice big kitchen and sitting area. The deck was very big and had large table with a propane barbecue. Sleeping was a bit of a challenge with adults and no children, but we found beds for everyone. The bunk bed room is extremely small. Not a lot to do tight around cabin. So did need to drive yo sights like Waterton. All in all a great place to stay.
This was a very well stocked cottage. Very clean and organized. We had a very pleasant and restful stay here. We would come back in the future the price is right and it’s in a beautiful area
Such a lovely little house in an unexpected place. We had absolutely everything we needed for a most cozy and comfortable stay. We loved our mornings spent doing yoga by the water(rocky but manageable) with the sound of the wildlife waking up around the pond.Waterton Park is a nice, maybe 20 minute drive and the provided park pass was a nice, convenient touch. We will definitely book here again when we go back in the fall for some Crypt Lake hiking.Thank you for being such gracious hosts!

It was a little oasis away from the noise. Very Comfortable.
Stacey was absolutely amazing to deal with. The cottage was in prestine condition and the views were spectacular. Host replies promptly, would recommend staying here you wont be disappointed. Hope to stay here again!
The pictures do not do this cabin justice. The interior is larger than it appears, and it is quite cozy, with everytging needed for a short getaway location. Centered perfectly between Cardston, Waterton, and Pincher Creek for short day trips. The hosts were also generous to include a Park Pass for Waterton Lakes National Park.
I would love to book this cabin again next year .

This is our second stay here and it was as good as our first. We will likely book here again. Stacey is an excellent host of her charming, well stocked, and CLEAN cabin!
We just love the Waterton area- there are so many places to explore. We bring our bikes and our kayaks. Unfortunately we learned that Waterton National Park no longer enables watercraft from outside the Park but we ended up using our boats on the Waterton Reservoir nearby (less than 10 minutes from the cabin). While we were not surrounded by mountains like we would have been in the Park- this was still a beautiful spot to use our kayaks.
We also took up Stacey's recommendation to make a reservation at the near by Twin Butte Country General Store and Mexican Restaurant. HA! That was a trip in itself if the name isn't already giving that away. Be sure to check it out.
Thanks again Stacey- we will likely be booking again next year and look forward to more new things that we can explore while we enjoy your hospitality!
Comfortable, pet friendly cottage reasonably close to Waterton Lakes in a resort neighborhood. Found the location convenient to visit the park for a couple of days and it was well positioned to continue on to the next leg of our journey to Banff. Highly recommend!
The property was very well equipped and clean. The lakefront view was relaxing and entertaining as we were able to watch and listen to the various birds.
