Amazing views every morning. Very nice place to stay.

This was a great place to stay on a working ranch. Peaceful, wildlife to watch every day. The rental space has beautiful craftmanship. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Not too far off the road. All the comforts of home.

Perfect spot. Exceeded expectations

Pictures of the rooms and the views were no exaggeration. When we first walked into the kitchen and saw the views we were blown away. Always a few deer and fawns to meet us in the front yard every morning. Clayton was super kind and responsive if we ever did have a question. Had everything we needed for our 6 day stay. Look forward to staying here again!

Peaceful countryside residence

We had a great stay here and would absolutely recommend to all 10/10! Place was clean, host and family were super friendly and had quick response times. The views from the living space was so serene and peaceful. The actual residence was a little ways in from the highway so you couldn’t hear any of the cars, just the beautiful sounds of nature. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back.

We keep coming back!

The property is brand new and very clean. The beds and bedding are fabulous and the kitchen has everything we need to cook dinner as well as many extras that are a very nice touch. Check in has been easy each time we've stayed here. The few miles of gravel road that you need to travel are worth the peace and serenity that you get to enjoy!

Great Little Spot

Close-ish to Waterton. Almost exactly the 30 minute drive they advertised. Beautiful views. Lots of deer. Great Chief mountain is very close. Sunsets are gorgeous. Lots of good sleeping space. When you add more people you do notice there is only one toilet. When someone is taking a bath/shower then everyone else has to wait. Overall a very good experience.

Traumhafte Unterkunft mit fantastischer Ruhe und exzellentem Weitblick sowie wunderbaren Gastgeber

Wir haben den weiten Weg aus Deutschland auf uns genommen, um genau in dieser wunderbaren Unterkunft eine Woche unseres Kanadaurlaubes zu verbringen - wir haben es nicht bereut und können diese allen nur ans Herz legen!Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was das Leben angenehm macht. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Auch die Einrichtungsgegenstände und der Grundriss der Wohnung sind perfekt.Wir haben die Natur sowie die unendliche Weite und Ruhe sowie den herrlichen Blick auf die entfernten Berge genossen. Tägliche Wanderungen im nahe gelegenen Waterton Nationalpark sowie ein Abstecher in die ebenfalls nahe gelegene USA in den Glacier Nationalpark sind sehr zu empfehlen.Wer Ruhe sucht und die Zeit in der Natur verbringen möchte, ist hier absolut richtig.Ganz besonders genossen haben wir ebenfalls die manchmal abendfüllenden, sehr netten Gespräche mit dem Hausherrn Clayton.Clayton, Du bist ein wunderbarer Mensch!Wir werden noch lange an die wunderschöne Zeit bei Dir zurückdenken und sie vermissen!Jana, Mike & Maurice

We had a wonderful stay in a peaceful area surrounded by nature, with plenty of deer around and beautiful mountain views. The quiet atmosphere made it perfect for unwinding and enjoying the outdoors. Mornings were especially serene, with fresh air and scenic sunrises over the mountains. Clayton was a fantastic host—very welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. The space was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Home on the range

We have stayed in vacation rentals all over the world and none were quite like this one! The stunning views of the prairie and the mountains were unmatched, and the peaceful quiet made for really good nights sleep! The apartment is driveable to both Waterton and Glacier NPs, and Clayton was such a responsive and lovely host. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing

I loved this property. It's beautifully decorated and well maintained. It's fully stocked with all the essentials and the kitchen is amazing!!! It's so quiet, you have no problem getting a great night's sleep, not to mention the beds are very comfortable. The sunsets over the mountains are incredible and we were greeted every morning with deer in the backyard. Clayton is great! If we're ever in Cardston again, we'll be staying here. Finest VRBO property I've rented.

We stayed here for 2 nights in August 2024. The place was very nice and clean, with lots of sleeping options. The views from the property were spectacular and it was an easy drive into Waterton Lakes. It was a little tricky to find using Google maps, so be sure to contact the owner ahead of time for extra directions.

Great Time In A Beautiful Setting

We really enjoyed our time here. Clayton was very communicative, met us when we arrived and stayed available in case anything was needed throughout our stay. The property is beautiful, private and very clean. Everything was there that we needed. The house is minutes from downtown Cardston, and is within an hours drive to both Glacier NP and Waterton NP. Thanks to the Foster family for a great stay!
