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

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.
