Wonderful week long stay at the beautiful Moosehead property in Kimberley, BC. Communication with host was quick and easy with prompt response. Property is located in a beautiful spot just outside the town of Kimberly. Forested, private, quiet and serene. Cabin is well appointed with all necessary supplies and is well stocked. Comfortable beds, great water pressure and wonderful fireplace. Just what we all needed this week to rest and relax. Thank you for a great stay! Would highly recommend

Annual family trip

We come to Kimberley every summer with our family. This was our first stay at the Mooseden cabin. We loved this property! Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our week. Tamara is a fantastic host and was very easy to communicate with. Any questions were answered very quickly. Looking forward to staying hopefully next summer!

Wonderful cabin in an excellent location.

The accommodation and location were excellent. Comfortable, very well equipped. The hosts have thought of everything. Other pluses, we had use of the campsite pool and could walk to the river, where we fished and explored. Access to some amazing golf courses, hiking and biking trails. Close to both Kimberley and Cranbrook. The Cranbrook Airport is very close by as well, so easy access if you plan to fly to the area. We would definitely stay again. One note: if you have difficulty managing stairs, be aware there are a few flights you will have to maneuver. Cheers.

Slice of perfection!

This cabin was worth every penny! It was well stocked, clean as a whistle, and just perfect! The AC pumped right through this heat wave, to give us reprieve from the scorching hot days at our favourite lakes! People are super friendly! This location is superb for all your outdoor adventures! Tamara (Owner) was super friendly, informative, and helpful! She responded to messages regarding the cabin within minutes. I would highly recommend renting this place! I will be saving all my Pennie’s for a family winter getaway!! Thank you Tamara!!!

Kimberley Family Adventures

First off I'd like to say thank you to the new property owner Tamara for keeping our booking for the May long weekend. I had booked with the previous owner and Tamara reached out to me directly to help us keep the booking through her. Tamara made it comfortable and easy to reach out if we needed anything and got back to me promptly with answers to my questions during our stay. Everything was just like the pictures and evenmore spacious than we expected. Accommodated 6 adults no problem. We loved how stocked the place was with essentials, like a home away from home. The fireplace is well marked to see the damper and lots of wood was provided. The view off the balcony is great with afternoon sun. Lots of walkable trails around and along the St Mary's River. Short drive into Kimberley to get groceries. We are from Haliburton ON and came to visit family in Kimberley for a white water rafting trip. We noticed the neighbour across from us had a gas or propane fire pit table on their balcony which would be a great addition if I could suggest one ;). Would definitely stay here again the next time we come to visit!

Moose Den is beyond perfect and made our trip of a lifetime so pleasant. The house went well above any of our expectations!!! The house/cabin is gorgeous, clean and very well maintained. The views are incredibly magical! The fireplace and deck definitely are a fabulous place to sit for drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening to just breath and take it all in! We had wonderful hiking weather to a beautiful snowfall. The neighborhood is quiet, clean and deer travel through the front yard and neighborhood all day long. Moose Den was a huge treat! 1,000 percent recommend. Hiking trails are very close to the cabin. Kimberley is a quaint little town and the people are friendly and fun.Tamara is the best host ever! Very, very responsive and excellent communicator. We had an emergency situation and needed to check in a day earlier than planned. Tamara bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. It was beyond what a host needed to do for us. Yet, she helped us cheerfully and willing. It was a true blessing.Truly hope we can return some day!

Tamara the host is at the top of the list when it comes to super hosts. She was incredibly responsive to any of our questions. It became obvious from the beginning that she wanted everything to be as perfect as could be.The place itself was exactly as advertised. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, in a quiet location next to a campground that made it feel like we were at truly away from home. Having the river close by to walk to was nice, although it was a steep climb back to the cabin. Also, there was a great mini-golf (one of the best I have ever seen) just up the hill that also served generous portions of ice cream.Fantastic place that we would re-book in a heart beat the next time our travels take us to Kimberley.

Picturesque Cabin

We stayed in this beautiful cabin with friends/teammates. We came to Kimberly for the Western Canadian Championships in cross-country skiing. It was important to our group to have a place big enough to hold us so we could coordinate everything that goes into a weekend like this and we were able to tag team to make it all work. The cabin was only a 15 minute drive from the trails. It was clean, comfortable and slept all 8 of us comfortably. It was also the best stocked Place we’ve stayed at which was really nice. The wood burning fireplace was lovely after a day of racing. Tamara was very easy to communicate with and our arrival and departure were seamless. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tamara Zimmerman

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 from Calgary Alberta. We have 2 young children, Liam & Mila who absolutely adore Kimberley and their "Vacation Home" as they call it. Although we are new to VRBO, our family has been vacationing on River Bend Lane for the last 2 summers, and we absolutely fell in love with the area and these gorgeous A Frame Cabins. It has been a dream to own one since our first stay, and to develop those core memories for our children. We came across an opportunity, now here we are, and we would love for people to experience the beauty and the serenity of staying at our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

The people are incredibly friendly, and the beauty and serenity is second to none. There are sounds of children laughing and playing, the roaring river in the backdrop, and people out and enjoying nature everywhere. Trails are at your doorstep and the Deer are plentiful. It is safe, quaint, picturesque and for us, we feel so at peace when here.
