Cozy Country Escape: Pet-Friendly Cabin with Ski & Snowshoe Trails
Feel rested and at peace when you stay in the rustic yet chic cabin known as the Lazy Larch. This self-contained 230 sq. ft. cabin is full of cozy charm and warmth. Nestled in the middle of a small field, it offers views of the pond, a tamarack forest, and stunning sunsets from the covered deck. In the winter months, you can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or walking the 2 to 5 km loops of trails. Our resident chickens provide fresh farm eggs for breakfast, and we supply the coffee and tea to start your day right. The galley kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities you need, including a full fridge, gas stove with oven, microwave, coffee maker, and all the cookware you'll require.
Bring your fishing rod and try your luck at the stocked trout pond, or simply relax on the cuddle couch with a good book. Firepits and wood are provided for wonderful marshmallow roasts. Just 6 km from Rocky Mountain House, our property is a short drive to the beautiful Abraham Lake and the community of Nordegg. Crimson Lake is only 15 minutes away, offering opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, and enjoying lovely beaches. There are also countless backcountry trails perfect for horseback riding. If you’re an equestrian, we provide a great place to bring your horse for an overnight stay or to participate in local clinics. Come stay and play with us at Twisted Ski BnB in the beautiful Rocky Mountain House area!

Andrea and James are amazing hosts, very welcoming and helpful! The cabin is outfitted with the basic necessities needed for a comfortable and cozy escape to the country. The best part is being able to take walks in the nearby forest. I'd definitely stay again.

Cute and cozy!
This place didn't disappoint! It's a truly unique get-away. The tiny house had everything we needed including fresh flowers and farm eggs! They even booked us in very last minute on the long weekend. Very accommodating and kind!
