We had a very nice stay at this cabin. It is very quiet and secluded. Most of our time was spent hiking in Waterton and this was a good place to use as a base for our adventures. The cabin was clean and well equipped. We had everything we needed and Cheryl even put some ice cubes in the freezer for us.

Peaceful stay
This cabin is perfect for peace and quiet! The pond offers wonderful wildlife viewing. My husband loved all the water foul and a great bird book in the cabin. There are no luxuries here! The bedrooms are quite small and mattresses are questionable.

Nice and Peaceful
The cabin was just as described and fit our needs nicely. It's proximity to Waterton Lake National Park was good. The only issue we had was getting to the property. The directions failed to include the code to the gate. The host responded immediately when we asked for a code, but the code she provided did not work. We were able to get in when a nice neighbor approached us at the gate and, when told we were trying to get to Trapper's Cabin, gave us a code that worked. That was the only glitch in an otherwise excellent trip.

Peace and Quiet
All of us enjoyed the peace and quiet location of this property, the sights and sounds of wildlife, the comfortable accommodations.
The cabin is super cute. Love the proximity to Waterton. The views from the property are just so relaxing with the pond, the woods, the fields and the mountains off in the distance.
What a beautiful place. It was close to where we wanted to go (30 min from Waterton townsite) but quiet and private. The pond was so serene and the stargazing was great. Comfortable and well appointed, if I could buy a place like this for retirement I would do it in a heartbeat.

Private cabin
Stayed cool in very hot weather. The loft could sleep at least four with two in each room and a comfy futon as well. Easy to find and Cheryl was a great host. Close to lovely Waterton but Payne Lake was great for fishing and paddle boarding. Would definitely stay again.

A hidden gem
The posted photos seriously undersell this cabin which sits on the edge of a small lake teeming with birds plus a resident beaver and some other larger wildlife including deer. The outside deck is the perfect spot for late afternoon relaxation and wildlife spotting.
The cabin itself is large, simple and very functional although perhaps the double beds could do with a mattress upgrade!
Situated about 25 minutes to Waterton NP entrance it was the perfect location to explore the park and have private secluded self-catered accomodation.
The arrival instructions were very clear.
Only 4 out of 5 for accuracy of online listing as it was so much better than we expected.!

Great secluded spot
This is a great rustic cabin tucked away from everything but close to Waterton. We only spent a couple nights here as a base for exploring Waterton. I wouldn’t have minded an extra day just to chill on the front porch to read and bird watch.

We stayed here to celebrate our first anniversary, it was a beautiful spot to be able to do so. It’s convenient to access Waterton and was pet friendly. We enjoyed the ability to cook meals and have the property to ourselves. The host checked in with us prior to arrival and was very helpful. We will be back again, five stars from us.

This was my second stay this year. Don't expect a 5 star cabin. It's comfortable though.
If you want comfort around the fire pit, bring your own lawn chairs.
If looking for nature and privacy, the property is magnificent.
I'll be back. I love this place! ❤️

Wonderful Secluded Cabin
Very private with a beautiful scenery. Close to Payne Lake and Waterton.
This cabin suited our needs completely. It is "rustic" but beautiful. The pond is fully of activity from ducks to birds to beavers and deer. The owner was very responsive. Beautiful location we will be back. Only 10 mins to Waterton Park entrance
