PRIME LOCATION
Situated on 15 private acres bordering crown land. A retreat beyond a shared gated driveway, surrounded by wildlife, and located almost exactly between the world class destinations of Jasper National Park and the City of Edmonton. The landscape consists of primarily boreal forest, lakes, and rivers.
Wildlife native to the area include bear, cougar, moose, elk, deer, wolf, coyote, fox, rabbit and a wide variety of avian and aquatic life.
Recreational experiences galore close by includes fishing, horseback trail rides, golf, skiing, hiking, biking, kayaking, river floating, canoeing, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and OHV fun!
COZY WOOD FIREPLACE/OUTDOOR FIRE PIT
Get a feeling of warmth from the indoor fireplace. Take a peaceful moment with your companion or by yourself, fireside, to unwind for a more restorative night's sleep.
Firewood is provided.
SWIM BEACH/SWIMMING POOL
Drive right up onto the River rock/sand beach at the McLeod River. 20 mins away. Community pool just a 5 min drive away.
IMPECCABLE
Cleanliness is top priority. The grounds are pristine. The Geodesic dome is spotless.
HASSLE-FREE PARKING
You will have access to your own personal and private parking space steps away from your accommodations which is guided by solar lighted path.
AMAZING COFFEE
What better way to elevate your day with a morning that starts with a cup of coffee surrounded by fresh pine. You are starting to rise with the sun, stirring for a classic breakfast, a cup of coffee in hand to compliment the crisp morning.
There is something about sitting by a fire pit and crafting up some of that good camping fuel.
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DINING
Spaces are available both inside and outside in order to prep and share meals and memorable experiences. Two coolers are provided. One bag of ice as well as an ice jug is complimentary.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR GAMES
Indoor/outdoor games are provided.
ASSESSABILITY:
You will be in the forest, therefore, while the path is provided with lighting and wood chips, it is not paved. It is also at our guest’s own discretion and risk to enter into the river on site and/or cross into the adjacent crown land.
Each structure on the site is slightly elevated; therefore, it requires being able to go up a step.
