This is a beautiful and private little cabin. There is a bathroom in the unit with a toilet and a nice clean and private shower in a building just a few steps away. The kitchen had everything we needed including a keurig with coffee and tea, an air fryer, hot plates, a bbq on the deck, and a mini fridge/ freezer. There is an air conditioner unit and fan upstairs which kept the cabin cool at night. It’s just a short walk to the lake.

The cabins were very nice. The only thing that would make a better would be easy access to a swimming lake.

Gateway to Waterton

We had a perfect stay in the Grizzly Basin. It was a nice location and a very cute hut. The kids loved the playground.

Close to Waterton

This was the perfect place for my family to relax after our adventures in Waterton National Park. A short drive from the park, with gorgeous views of the mountains and Payne Lake. It was peaceful and the hosts were friendly. We would stay again.

Nice little retreat

My wife and I spent the weekend in April and it was a great little space. Quiet, calm and very restful. Mountains easy to view in the distance and close to waterton. If you forget anything there is a nice small store less than ten min away. We would definitely come again to have a nice weekend retreat.

Lovely cottage in peaceful area

This was the perfect place to stay for a few days. Close enough to Waterton Park and on a beautiful lake with mountain views. Dog-friendly. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, with a well-equipped kitchen. A coffee machine and even tea and coffee pods were provided. The campground itself was quiet midweek and our kids enjoyed the playground. Will definitely book again!

Pleasant glamping experience close to Waterton

We stayed before in 2022 (in the wolf themed cabin) and came back because we enjoyed ourselves last time. The cabin and campground are equipped with running water and super close to Waterton. There are even more amenities than before. We appreciated the addition of the lounge area which had internet and lots of board games. We would love to come again.

Place to sleep

Directions once past the entrance were a little confusing. Showers separate from the unit. Bring your own shampoo and soap.

A true glamping experience in the wilderness. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. The patio was surrounded by woods. Felt very close to nature, but with the safety. Had a great relaxing time with family. The lounge was a nice addition with games, gym and books. 20 min scenic drive to Waterton. Owner was very friendly and approachable. Will definitely come back!!!

Awesome stay

Great spot. Cute little cabin with all the amenities and could ask for in that setting. A better description of outdoor showers would have been nice. Only two for whole site and could never get in. There are more being built though and that will be great. Overall fantastic.

Sorry about shower situation. Usually they are not occupied that much so when I went to check, I realized someone locked them both without anyone in it. I had to force them open from outside.

Perfect Waterton base

We used this fantastic place as our base for three days of hiking around Waterton. I have never stayed in such a well equipped VRBO. So easy to prep all the food you need. Loads of room for two, and a family of 4 would work as well. The extra space on the big and private deck is nice. We didn't get to use the fire pit because rain, but it's a very cozy spot we'll be sure to use next time.

A great option for Waterton

So many great things to say about this place. The hosts are AWESOME! Very responsive and offer up great options for things to do. The unit isn’t huge but lots of space for the 2 of us. The unit is very modern and very well equipped! Super quiet area to stay in. We did the majority of our activities in Waterton so it was a 20 minute drive to the hub of our activities but you have to drive everywhere anyway so not that big of a deal. Highly recommend this place!
