We spent 2 nights at the cabin while we were visiting Waterton Lakes. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need. It’s clean and everything looks new. The cabin is dog-friendly which we appreciated very much. It’s located in a campground but was very quiet and we could walk our dogs around the campground without other dogs running loose. It’s located in a beautiful area and our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
Our stay in the Wolf's Lair was one of the best 4 days EVER!! Payne Lake is close to Waterton Park, Red Rock Canyon, Buffalo Paddock Loop, many many hikes, and the lake itself was perfect to take a dip! We "attempted" Pickleball, shot some hoops, played Cornhole, played horseshoes and even took some time to try out the obstacles! Would definitely recommend to rent!
The host was awesome from start to finish. The property/ cabin is a cute oasis to use as a base for our time in waterton. I would without hesitation recommend this property to friend and family.
My husband and I will definitely be staying here again.
Our family of 4 had an amazing time in the hut. We stayed a full week.
The hut is small, yet has everything we needed, the kitchen is well-equipped to cook anything (air fryer, toaster, slow cooker...) and there is a fan and air-conditioning if it's too hot. The campground was not busy at all, and the play area was really fun (for us adults too - like discovering pickleball). There is a lounge area with Wifi and many boardgames and books.
The Payne Lake is beautiful to walk around or go boating/paddling...
The Waterton Park is just 20 minutes away.
And managed a day trip in the US to check on the Glacier National Park too (1hour drive from the hut).
Highly recommended. And if you had a dog, you can bring it too (for those who have pets).

My mother, my sister and I spent a lovely 3 nights in the Wolf Lair cabin. It is well equipped, has comfortable beds and perfectly situated near Waterton. We walked the trail nearby, played pickleball and took a canoe out for a paddle on the lake.
Our stay in the Wilderness Lodge was perfect. It had beautiful views, the people were nice, it was dog friendly and it was very close to the Waterton NP. Also the playground was awesome and not just for kids. There was also a canoe we could use to go out on the lake and view the beautiful sunset.
If you are looking for some peace and quiet ... this is the place. Clean cabin. Everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Will recommend and come back at our earliest opportunity.
Cute little cabin. Very basic but close to Waterton which is what is really important. Host is great to deal with, very quick responses.

The cabin was new and very clean, however the pictures made it look like it was on the lake, but its not. Also the bathroom is very small, and there is no shower.
I surprised my partner with 2 nights in a cabin near Waterton for his birthday (around 30 mins away). We loved our stay. The cabin is clean, modern, and full of amenities. The AC was a nice touch. We also loved the campground - it’s full of friendly families who own the lots and it was only steps away from Payne Lake. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful cabin just outside of Waterton Park (which was nice as we only had to pay for a parks pass for part of our trip). My boyfriend and I had an amazing time. Our unit had everything that we needed. With a 5 minute walk, you can watch the sunset over the lake behind the mountains. Will definitely be staying here again.
