Everything was great. The only thing was I wish it was more secluded as we were on o farm and there is a fuel tank and a boat next to the cabin and we were looking at a shed and a old truck out the front. The river was a bit of a walk away. All and all it was a fun stay

My husband and I are in our 70s and even though we only live two hours away from here, we wanted a full nature experience in a log cabin. The weather was hit and miss, but we drove around and saw wild horses, mountain goats, and lots of deer. The cabin was great. Very cosy with a nice soft, fluffy comforter on the bed. The kitchen has everything you need. The owner was very welcoming and easy to reach. He’s also very knowledgable about the area. It was a great getaway 10 out of 10.

First encounter with the wild horses. Mares and foals. So amazing!
Second herd of horses. I think these were the boys.

Bathroom

We enjoy our stay on the cabin, it's so unfortunate it was raining for a couple days we can't able to do any outdoor activity as we plan. The only concern, we don't like was the bathroom, specially the toilet. I find it kind a not hygienic. As pouring really heavy on the couple days, using the toilet wasn't an ideal to go out and dumped it outside. Water pressure on the shower was so slow, the water in tub was draining slow as well. We're kind feel disappointed on the bathroom how it was set-up. But other that than, everything was amazing. However, I don't think I can able to recommend or rebook for future get away.

Relaxing retreat

Nice, quiet place to relax for a couple days. Daniel was very easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions. The cabin had everything we needed for our meals but Sundre is a quick drive away if you need anything. The walking loop to the river was well marked. We would definitely stay here again.
