We had an amazing stay at this Cabin! We stayed here with 6 of us from Calgary and Edmonton. It’s not too far from either city while still have a relaxing wilderness vibe. The surrounding wooded areas and the river being so close made for some great outdoor hangouts. I highly recommend this spot.

Beautiful secluded spot

We had a great springtime stay for a family golf trip. It's a short drive away from some top quality courses in Sudre. The house is well appointed, and in a beautiful secluded setting along James River. Thanks for the stay!

A gorgeous property with the river, the walking paths, and the backyard house deck! The weather was beautiful and it was such a peaceful home away from home, while we attended a wedding in the area!
