Literally everything you could have possibly needed for a weekend away was available in the house. So many condiments and spices, bbq was pristine, fire pit was so great, so much seating. In terms of quality and comfort this was one of the best rentals we’ve ever had. We’ve told all our friends about this place!

Cardston cottage

Biggest difficulty is the location. Cottage park is in the middle of nowhere. Photos show pond and what look like walking areas. Pond is unuseable_leaches. Closest water and trails 10 minutes by car. Provicial parks nice but 45 min drive. National park okay but fires went through a few years ago, so most is still burnt. 35 minutes. Shopping 30 minutes. Also they expect ALOT of cleaning and there were ALoT of rles. Most sensible, but.... still. Should have better disclosure.

Better Than Expected

We have stayed at a few VRBO's over the years and this was one of the best. Definitely worthy of top marks. The pictures do not do it justice so upon arrival is was a pleasant surprise. Stacey was always very responsive to our messages and the place was incredibly clean and well organized. The location is good for those trying to get away from things while close enough to what you need- although, if you are spending a few days and plan on doing a bit of driving, be sure to fill up in Pincher Creek or Fort MacLeod on your way there as there are NO gas stations outside of 1 in the Waterton Lake Townsite from what I could tell. Waterton Lake is definitely a real gem with plenty of mother nature to take in- it is just beautiful. The pond this residence backs onto certainly works for a leisurely canoe or kayak if there is no wind. When things are calm it makes for a very peaceful for an evening sunset kayak- launching right from the backyard. We'll be booking this place again for sure.

Love this place , thank you Stacey

We had a basic requirement when we alway look for a place to stay that is we need a kitchen and our golden boys should be allowed. It turned out to be excellent place for us . Full house seems like made for us. Nice cozy bedrooms ,.plenty of living space and a big kitchen . Wasn't able to use the lake or the BBQ as it was just two day trip but next time , i am going to book atleast for a week. Stacey was great , i spoke to her before going there and she explained everything as well her welcome notes says everything. Had a confusion when we are checking out but Stacey's prompt reply helped us . I will recommend this to anyone who is looking to spend sometime out . Its close to Watertown, pincher creek and fort McLeod. I took a lot of pictures so i can post here. As the pictures on Vrbo is not great . What its show on Vrbo is 10% of what it actually looks like . We will book again and our golden boys love this place.thank you

The cabin itself was amazing. Lots of amenities and nice big kitchen and sitting area. The deck was very big and had large table with a propane barbecue. Sleeping was a bit of a challenge with adults and no children, but we found beds for everyone. The bunk bed room is extremely small. Not a lot to do tight around cabin. So did need to drive yo sights like Waterton. All in all a great place to stay.

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. The interior is larger than it appears, and it is quite cozy, with everytging needed for a short getaway location. Centered perfectly between Cardston, Waterton, and Pincher Creek for short day trips. The hosts were also generous to include a Park Pass for Waterton Lakes National Park. I would love to book this cabin again next year . Everytging js

We have this on repeat

This is our second stay here and it was as good as our first. We will likely book here again. Stacey is an excellent host of her charming, well stocked, and CLEAN cabin! We just love the Waterton area- there are so many places to explore. We bring our bikes and our kayaks. Unfortunately we learned that Waterton National Park no longer enables watercraft from outside the Park but we ended up using our boats on the Waterton Reservoir nearby (less than 10 minutes from the cabin). While we were not surrounded by mountains like we would have been in the Park- this was still a beautiful spot to use our kayaks. We also took up Stacey's recommendation to make a reservation at the near by Twin Butte Country General Store and Mexican Restaurant. HA! That was a trip in itself if the name isn't already giving that away. Be sure to check it out. Thanks again Stacey- we will likely be booking again next year and look forward to more new things that we can explore while we enjoy your hospitality!

Quaint and peaceful cottage

This cottage is in a quiet little space around a small pond. The layout is a bit quirky, but it was comfortable and met all our needs. It is very well stocked with anything you could want. It was nice to have access to a washer and dryer and also internet. It was about a 40 minute drive to Waterton Lakes. Nice sunset/sunrise views.

Nice cottage with easy access to Waterton

We had a lovely time at this cottage. Waterton Lakes is about 30-50 mins away, depending on which trailhead you're heading to. We did a combination of remote work and hiking at Waterton during our stay, which worked out very well. The owner is very easy to reach with any questions. Internet is fast enough and reliable for videoconferencing, we had no issues. Cottage comes equipped with full kitchen. We'll be happy to return when we visit Waterton again.
