About this property

Moose Bottom Cottage/entire home/pet/garage

Moose Bottom Cottage - 45 minutes and a million miles from Calgary!

Nestled in a scenic valley, where the limitless expanses of the Prairies wash up against the majestic east wall of the Canadian Rockies, this gorgeous cottage was purposely built for the perfect holiday getaway, vacation or staycation. Privacy and seclusion abound whilst the open setting means that full advantage is made of every hour of sunlight!
Attached and heated garage as well as outdoor parking.

The bright open kitchen, with west facing window is fitted with high end appliances and looks out toward the rolling wooded hills and the peak of Mt Davidson . The same view can be seen through the glass wall of patio doors in the open plan living area. These doors open onto a paved patio area which is partially covered to be enjoyed in all weathers. The patio makes an excellent viewpoint as the ground drops away to the south and west toward seasonal and year round creeks with the lush vegetation providing food for the moose and deer as well as countless birds.
To the east an enclosed porch with huge windows provides the perfect location for morning coffee looking over the lawn and towards the 1/4 acre pond.

At the far end of the living room is a spectacular fireplace set in a full height brick surround with the warmth and relaxed ambience of a fire at the flick of a switch.

The bright and spacious master bedroom with King size bed has a full en-suite with shower and bathtub. There is also a kids bedroom with bunk beds and another bedroom with a Queen bed.

Common bathroom is friendly for wheelchair user. Equipped with heated toilet bidet seat and roll-in shower and sink.

Our family home is 200 metres away, meaning we can provide that perfect mix of privacy and service for our valued guests.

There is 36 acres of natural vegetation for all to explore.

It has easy access to city of Cochrane and Calgary as well as the RockyMountain for hiking, kayaking, skiing etc. Yet the cottage is surrounded by nature, peaceful and beautiful.

Moose Bottom Cottage is 1 hour North East of Canmore, 45 min North West of Calgary, 25 min North of Cochrane with restaurants, theatre and grocery etc.

Complementary ground coffee, hot chocolate and tea bags.
Grocery shopping in advance is also offered with a surcharge of CAD30 - please give us at least 48 hour notice.

Place was amazing
This weekend was a gift for my daughter and her husband. This is what she had to say: "This place was amazing! So cozy and clean, and all of the appliances, fixtures, and supplies were top-of-the-line. The view from the living room was mesmerizing; you could just stare out into the pastures all day, like watching a big fish tank. Just gorgeous."

Honeymoon Retreat
8 great nights spent at the cottage! Quiet to enjoy the mountains and property, even had 2 deer walk through and 3 bears in the distance. Very cool to see! The hot tub was the best way to end a day spent in the Parks & was very clean. Rest of the cottage was very clean & there were so many things provided to make the stay more like home. LOVED the light in the bathrooms, fireplace, and the drive back each night led us to see 3 moose & dozens of elk! Only downfall is it's a bit far from northern parts of the Rockies, just makes for a long drive back.

Rest and Relaxation
Beautiful landscape and view, combined with an immaculately clean and cozy cottage, made for a wonderful 4 night get away for our family. The hosts were lovely and accessible- great communication. And our dogs had the time of their lives exploring the property and enjoying the fresh air. Would definitely book this cottage again.

Peaceful countryside
We absolutely adored this place. The views were stunning. They had coffee and all the necessities to cook. The porches were simply perfect to sit outside and soak in the sunsets. There was a hot tub but we didn’t get the chance to enjoy it. We just loved the doors that opened from the living area to the patio. The owners were such nice people and gave us all the necessary codes prior to arrival. Would absolutely stay again!

Our Second Visit to Moose Bottom Cottage
We returned to Moose Bottom this year for the second time and enjoyed it even more than the first time 2 years ago. The hot tub was the perfect way to end each day, soaking and watching the landscape, wildlife, and stars all around us. The hosts, Jon and Kita, were once again so gracious and kind giving us everything we needed. Mother-in-law stayed with us 1 night and she was just as impressed, asking "where did you find this place?" Taking our dogs for a walk along the acreage was a highlight of each day and the dogs loved it! We will certainly be back :)

Would live here if I could
There is simply so much good to say. This property was magical and more than we could have hoped for from the beginning!! It was super clean and neat and organized and they thought of EVERYTHING!! We came with our 4 kids and they were so buried by the plethora of puzzles and toys and books provided. Beds were super comfy, with extra comforters available. Radiant heat in floors. Fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, utensils, etc. made it feel like home away from home. Bathrooms were so well made/organized. I may have to get a bidet after trying theirs. My kids also LOVED popping in the hot tub just got a few minutes while I prepared dinner every night. And the views and privacy you feel are amazing while the owners are just a few hundred feet away (the home and windows/views are mostly towards the back away from them). We even heard/saw some neat wildlife! The stars are so unencumbered but anything. The owners were extremely sweet, communicative and accommodating. Really, this place is so comfy and feels like magic. I'd recommend it to ANYONE.

Moose Bottom Cottage Family Vacation
From the moment we arrived we loved the cottage. We had a wonderful, relaxing family vacation. The cottage had all the amenities of home and then some. Jon and Kita were very prompt about answering any questions. Nothing can beat that view and our dogs had the greatest time going for walks every day in the enormous private yard. The cottage is only an hour away from home so that made it very easy to travel to. We will definitely be back!

Moose Bottom Cottage is a “Must” Experience
Jon and Kita are very gracious hosts with quick communication responses…made them selves available if required and Jon brought us extra wood for the outdoor fire pit…Jon was very kind to our 7 yr old and showed him what grass to pick to feed the horses …. Kita invited the kids to come and pick peas in her garden…The cottage Smelled so fresh and clean upon arrival and the red wine gifted with a personal note by them was a nice touch……. Well appointed kitchen and very comfy beds… cottage is cozy and the huge gas fireplace warms everyone up on a cool day… the back patio faces the bulk of the property with its creek and is the very picture of serenity…our two King Shepherds were able to run freely about investigating and loved every minute of it…Moose Bottom Cottage must be experienced in order to understand the lengths the owners have gone to, to ensure a wonderful stay for their guests…

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We booked this spot for my husband's birthday weekend. It was us, our son, my dad and our dog. This place was off the beaten path and the perfect size for our family. Both Jon and Kita were super friendly and accommodating. We had everything we needed and an amazing view from every window! The location was relaxing and great for an avid birdwatcher like me! We cannot wait to come back!

Quiet Retreat
This was the perfect quiet getaway that we so desperately needed. The scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere was serene! The cottage is immaculate and great care is taken to make sure guests have a wonderful time. Kita and Jon left a lovely welcoming note and bottle of wine which was a wonderful surprise. The beds were comfortable, blankets were cozy, and we enjoyed quiet evenings by the fire. We enjoyed exploring the property, meeting the horse neighbours next-door, and sitting around the fire with Jon, Kita and their son enjoying a warm chat and sharing stories. We will definitely be back for a return visit! It's so wonderful having this hidden gem so close to home...the perfect getaway with the perfect hosts!

Lovely getaway
We loved our stay here. The photos do not do the property justice. It is a secluded and private getaway. The hosts are also very accommodating for pets and our dogs really enjoyed staying here as well. The large patio from the living room gave us easy access to let our dogs in and out. Although their recall is terrible we were easily able to secure a long leash to the patio and used that without any issues. Very close to Cochrane for groceries, amenities and hiking. We also did a day trip into Canmore/Banff and the drive is beautiful. We would stay again and give it 10/10!
