A real heritage opportunity where you can stay in the oldest house in Strathcona County. This is your chance to experience an early pioneer home without sacrificing modern amenities. While maintaining the original character of the loghouse, newer additions have included a full kitchen, heated floors, bathroom and laundry facilities. In addition to the loghouse, the property also features many historical items including an old bunkhouse, a Swiss-style logbarn, antique farm machinery and an old boat once used for a tourist camp on Cooking Lake in the 1930's. Kilometres of trails throughout the property introduce you to the native flora and fauna in this area. As a wildlife preserve, the property has been maintained in its natural state. Our property also boasts a 70 acre Ducks Unlimited Conservation Area. If you are a bird-watching enthusiast or just looking to enjoy nature, this is the place for you. We offer tranquillity in a natural setting all within a short 35 minute drive to the city of Edmonton.
You will enjoy the full-use and privacy of this heritage loghome with your hosts only a short 10 minute walk away along a forest trail. We are there when you need us but happy to allow you to enjoy your time away on your own in peace and quiet.

Maggie’s Hill was the perfect refuge from the business of life. From the drive in you feel the world take a breath. It’s a stunningly situated property tucked away amidst fields, forests and meadows. Everything was spotless - the beds comfy- the kitchen so well equipped. I adored the mug wall- everyone can pick their perfect mug for that cup of coffee on the patio. We played card games and badminton, ate delicious meals and enjoyed the breezes and sounds of coyotes in the night. We would love to return and experience all the seasons. Thank you Martha and John - until the next time.

My sister and I decided to take a staycation and found this marvellous gem . Check-in couldn't have been easier. Martha gave great instructions and was available for any questions. My sister, who has trouble sleeping, had the best sleep in a long time. Peace and quiet minutes from Edmonton and staying in a historical house. I loved my morning coffee on the screened porch. We can't wait to return.
Bindi's favourite place.

It was exactly as advertised and the host was very responsive. Clear and easy to understand directions were given. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the antique touches were lovely.

A Historical Treasure

We have returned to Maggie’s Hill many times and each occasion brings new experiences for both ourselves and our two King Shepherds…so peaceful and love the combination of the Heritage surroundings mixed in with modern amenities…the trails are well maintained and Martha always has the cabin pristine clean, cosy, and smelling wonderful…the distant sound of the trains is very nostalgic …exciting to spot the deer, moose ,coyotes and the plethora of birds…hard to leave but look forward to coming back … Thank you ever so much for sharing such a historical treasure!

We've been coming here for five years, and it never disappoints. Always clean and welcoming. Beautiful trails through woods and meadows. The cabin is cozy and so comfortable, and surrounded by woods. This time we were treated to beautiful aurora!

Wonderful Old-Timey Cabin!

We had a fantastic, relaxing stay. Was primarily for the purpose of snowshoeing, which was amazing... lots of fresh snow and amazing trails that start right behind the cabin. The cabin itself is great... comfy and well-equipped.

Beautiful historic log house with all the comforts

I stayed with my dog for 3 nights and just love this log house and the surrounding property. The beds are comfy, everything is perfectly placed, and Martha has thought of everything to make this a beautiful place to get away and relax. We loved walking on the trails; you can take a different route every day and never get lost, cause all trails lead back to the cozy log house. Can't wait to get back there soon!

Serene and relaxing getaway

This historic home has been perfectly updated to make your stay extremely comfortable and relaxing. The house itself has everything you could need and the property has beautiful trails for you to explore. We were also so happy we could bring our dog (who also loved it). The perfect blend of history and comfort, surrounded by nature.
