We were booked in for the Thanksgiving weekend 2025, from Friday till Tuesday. During that time we did several hikes, the slip and slide and played their disc golf course. All amenities were on the property and close at hand. The main lodge where we stayed slept all 13 of us and 4 dogs. Great showers, full kitchen, laundry and hot tub. The eating area contains the largest log table any of us had seen. Plenty of room for all during meals. I would definitely recommend Columbia wetlands for your next function or holiday. I know we all enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future.

Good fun!We enjoyed our stay at the Outpost very much; everything was as advertised; communication was good.I cannot give full ratings because 1) most of the pots & pans were aluminium or Teflon, which might not matter to other guests 2) the beds were very soft, which might be preferred by other guests and 3) voracious mosquitos, which is to be expected in a healthy wetland but was still a negative. We sprayed-up and walked to the falls immediately after arrival but didn't get there because the kids found the mosquitos unbearable.All-in-all we had great fun playing games (a great variety were provided) in the spacious house, playing golf (Golden course is very nice with enough bug spray), adventuring at the Golden sky bridge, and with Kevin's guided tour of the river. On the sunny afternoons, the kids took advantage of fewer mosquitos to enjoy the slip & slide.Thank you Mark & Marie

Check in process was flawless. Property was as described, clean, and perfect for what we were after. Hosts were beyond accommodating.

Wonderful property

We had an amazing weekend, we stayed in the whole time and hung out, we had everything we needed and more. We had 6 ladies all had our own room, really well set up for sitting around as a group both for dinning, chilling and outdoors. Would love to take my husband back and our fur baby but obviously a little costly for 2 people, but for the group very affordable. We all have dogs and miss they so it was also a treat to have Nelly the Bernese swing by now and again for cuddles. Wish we could have stayed longer, its beautiful, clean, quite and has everything you would need from walking, fun stuff with the slide down the hill and just to hang out and switch off.

Great get-away house in the wild

This huge house is a great place to gather with friends and family. The house is very well equipped, has several large sitting areas, a spacious kithen and dinning room. The game room and maps room add a special "adventure in the wild" atmosphere. The main Rockies attractions (lake Louise, Banff) are a bit far. Mary is a great host and made an effort to help us to enjoy the place. We were there in August - not the best time to visit due to the heat and mosquitos. I guess that the house is perfect at a cooler season

Wonderful stay

We very much enjoyed are stay at this property. It is well kitted-out with everything you could possibly need and somethings you didn't know you needed like the friendliest dog ever who sometimes comes to visit the backyard. The space looks exactly as pictured and there was room for our group of 6 to spread out and enjoy. The beds and bedding were amazingly comfortable which is not always the case with rentals. We loved it!

This property has it all and it’s one of the best lodges we’ve stayed in ever! The beds are very comfy, there’s plenty of common spaces to enjoy in the cabin, it’s well equipped, and there’s so much to do on the property you’ll never want to leave. Mark is a very responsive host as well. I highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!
