Beautiful area
Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Only 8kms off the highway, on good roads, it seems you're a million miles away. Our place is a quiet, 200 acre ranch, in a natural paradise.
Small town nearby for basics. 45min to 2 larger towns with all amenities. Completely private, waterfront with misc very friendly livestock on site. With only 2 cabins, 80m apart, enjoy your own little world.
Or vacation with friends, host a wedding or family reunion! If renting both cabins, we allow RV's/tents with your party for a small fee.
The space
The cabin is on our working ranch but is very private, located right on the waterfront, out of eye sight of our home and 80m away from the only other cabin. We are the only private property on Helena Lake so it is an incredibly quiet, idyllic setting. There is excellent rainbow trout fishing, hiking, canoeing and endless opportunities for wildlife viewing. In winter we offer skating, ice fishing and snowshoeing. Nearby Mt.Timothy is fun all year round with great skiing in winter and e-bike rentals and bike trail network in summer. 99 Mile X Country ski trails are great winter fun, rentals available at the lodge.
The cabin is totally off-grid. There are solar lights inside and outside the cabin, sink with fresh water jug, mini ice chest fridge and BBQ (propane included). USB charging available in cabin for small accessories. Swim & dish towels, linens, dinner ware, cutlery, glasses, mugs, cast iron pan and bbq tools provided. Very clean, hand milled outhouse (dunny/drop toilet) with twinkly lights just steps from the cabin.
Fresh drinking water, flashlights, candles, wood for wood stove and bonfire provided. Lie in bed and look at the lake out the picture window from your king size bed. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate & sugar complimentary.
Just a short walk from the cabin, We have a shared kitchenette for guest use with toaster, microwave, hot plate, coffee maker, kettle & basic cookware provided for guest use. There is laundry and a shower there too. Towels, shampoo, soap, hair dryer and laundry detergent provided.
Guest access
Guests have their own waterfront/beach area, fire pit with chairs and picnic table. Canoe, paddles and 2 life jackets provided complimentary. Snowshoes provided in winter complimentary for trekking.
Reasonable cellular signal at cabin area. Wifi available only in the main ranch yard/kitchenette. Electrical outlets provided in kitchenette to charge devices.
We have cows, sheep, livestock dogs, rabbits, barn cats, chickens, ducks, peafowl, and horses pastured in other areas of the property. Everyone is very, very friendly and enjoy guest attention. Guests are encouraged to walk around and interact with the animals, please close gates behind you and respect private family area near our home.
Other things to note
There are 4 large, very friendly livestock guardian dogs on the property roaming free 24/7 to protect free roaming livestock - so the cabin is not suitable for pets. Although the dogs are kind and gently, children can find the large dogs frightening so aren't always a good fit for our property.
Handmade art work and postcards available for purchase in the kitchenette if interested.
The lights are solar, so dim later into the evenings. You may want to bring a reading light or headlamp if you are a night reader!

Neighbourhood highlights
Our nearest neighbour is 6kms away so other than residents of the ranch, you are much more likely to see otter, beaver, deer, moose, bear, coyotes, wolves, cougar, lynx, bobcat, badger, misc other wildlife and roaming livestock than other people. Two bald eagles and an osprey live right on property and spend a lot of time perched in trees along the waterfront searching the shoreline for fish.
Guests have their own waterfront/beach area, fire pit with chairs and picnic table. Canoes, paddleboards, kayaks, pedal-boat and life jackets provided complimentary. Snowshoes provided in winter complimentary for trekking. We keep a skating rink clear all winter for guest use.
Reasonable cellular signal at cabin area. Electrical outlets provided in kitchenette to charge devices.
We have cows, sheep, goats, pigs, livestock dogs, barn cats, chickens, ducks, peafowl, horses and donkey pastured in other areas of the property. Everyone is very, very friendly and enjoy guest attention. Guests are encouraged to walk around and interact with the animals, please close gates behind you and respect private family area near our home.
