Family cottage 15 mins from Waterton, AB! Perfect Winter Getaway

Situated only 15 minutes outside of Waterton Lakes National Park, The Sunset Cottage has the privacy, comfort, and charm to make your vacation a rejuvenating retreat! Nestled inside the friendly hamlet of Mountain View, with a panoramic view of the gently rolling hills of Southern Alberta’s beautiful farm country, this is a place you will want to return to again and again! *****Please note this house is 100 years old and in the winter months the kitchen and bathroom floor is cooler. We recommend bringing a warm pair of socks or slippers for your stay****

Our 750 square foot cottage has just undergone a complete and thorough upgrade, making everything inside and out modern, fresh and new! Sunset Cottage sleeps 8 people and includes two bedrooms. The master has a queen bed, and large closet for storage. The second bedroom has 2 bunk beds (4 twins), and huge drawers for tons of storage, as well as some bedside shelves and a mini-closet. Each bed has its own reading light and electrical socket for personal use. A portable crib is also provided.

A comfortable family room includes an electric fireplace for cozy evenings, a couch (pull-out sofa), 2 sofa chairs and a flat screen television/BLUERAY player (movie collection provided). From the comfort of the family room you can look out the large double full glass sliding doors at the picturesque view of the mountains and sunset to the west, or you can enjoy these gorgeous views from the beautiful new 400sq foot deck just outside.

Sunset Cottage has a fully renovated new kitchen, including a new dishwasher and microwave, as well as a large table perfect for meal prep, dining, and game nights! The kitchen receives natural light from 3 directions, and is a gorgeous centerpiece of the house. It is also fully stocked with dishes, cups, utensils, pots and pans, crock pot, rice cooker, toaster, electric pancake griddle, and coffee maker.

The beautiful full bath has gentle natural light, and includes a tile shower with ceramic tub combination, and pretty counter/sink. A full size washer and dryer are included, and are enclosed in a closet in the bathroom for your convenience.

This beautiful property offers a 1/2 acre of land with a fire pit, tree swing, hammock, and BBQ.

Other amenities included with your stay are: WiFi access, board games, outdoor games (football, soccer ball, basketball etc...), and roasting sticks for the campfire.

*Due to the grassy fields, smoking on the property cannot be permitted. Thank you for helping to protect our community.

Spring Break get away

This well-designed, clean, and brilliantly located cottage was a wonderful place for a few days rest and exploration of Waterton National Park. The little hamlet of Mountain view has a nice general store for the items we forgot, and we had horses in a paddock out the patio window as foreground to a great view of the Mountains. Our hosts were responsive and professional. My family is excited to visit again.

This place was amazing, extremely clean, modern and had everything you needed for kitchen cooking. Amazing view of the mountains. Only 15 min from Waterton which is ghost town during the winter season, however that brings out the wild life. the property was just perfect for a family of 5-6, I would love to stay again during the summer season.

Exploring Waterton

Our young family had a great time at the cabin while exploring Waterton. The cabin was well stocked and clean. It was situated near a school playground which was great for the evenings. A general store is also nearby which was great for a quick snack stop. Would stay again when visiting Waterton.

Very nice property close to Waterton

We had a fantastic time in the sunset cottage. It was very clean and very nicely renovated. The owner went above and beyond to outfit the cottage with everything one might need for a pleasant stay - fully loaded with dishes, kitchen utensils, appliances, barbecue, linens, toys and games, and more. Outside there was a swing and a hammock that the kids enjoyed. We had plenty of room for our family of 5. And despite the heat outside we managed to keep the inside nice and cool. The west-facing deck was definitely the cherry on the cake with nice sunset views. The property is only 15 minutes drive from Waterton, so very handy to go see all the sights but allowing us to come back to a more quiet location in the evening. We would definitely stay there again.

Cute Little Cottage for a Girls Trip

What an adorable little cottage with a fantastic view of the mountains. The property is perfect for any group getaway. In the yard they have a lovely fire pit with chairs, wood, and roasting sticks to use. They also have a deck around the back that has a BBQ on it and some chairs facing the mountains. Inside the cottage was just as perfect. There are 2 bedrooms, one with 4 bunk beds if you wanna get close with your friends, and a master bedroom with a big bed if you prefer. The kitchen has everything you might need, tons of dishes to choose from (both plastic and ceramic) and a great stove and fridge. The bathroom is just the right size and the shower is very easy to operate. There is also plenty of storage if you are planning to stay awhile. 10/10 would return to this lovely cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
Welcome to our (your) home away from home! My name is Stephanie, and this charming little home is the culmination of my life-long dream--to hold a sliver of property in the hamlet that captured my heart as a child: Mountain View, Alberta. I grew up in this extraordinary place, then left to attend college at BYU in Utah. After graduating, marrying, and starting a family, my husband and I began a lengthy search to secure property in my hometown so that our children could frequently experience the wonders, beauty, and adventure of this most remarkable haven on earth! This year we decided to open up our cozy abode (AKA Sunset Cottage) to other families and individuals who are looking for the perfect place to relax and recoup between all of their adventures and memory-making in the fantastic Waterton Park area.

Why they chose this property

We love the comfortable coziness of our cottage, as well as the privacy of our property. On one side the cottage has an area that is completely sheltered by trees. This is where we spend our evenings laughing and relaxing around the fire pit, where the trees protect us from the wind, and we can enjoy the beauty of the stars.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! Really, the location is so ideal. Our home is sheltered by trees, but just across the road is a wonderful country store with several amenities, including--but not limited to--delicious waffle ice-cream cones! Our family loves morning walks (either for ice-cream, or exercise!), afternoon catnaps in the hammock, and starry-night evenings by the campfire. The brand new large deck is the perfect viewing location to watch the frequent breathtaking sunsets, lie on your back and look at the stars, or maybe even catch a glimpse of the occasional Northern Lights (if you are super lucky!).

A significant and unique benefit of our vacation home is the combined skillset of our vacation home managers, my brother Brandon and his wife Nicole. Both are known for their kindness and attention to detail. They will do everything in their power to make your stay exactly what you have in mind. Brandon is the mastermind and master-carpenter behind the gorgeous renovations you will see throughout the house. He can do pretty much anything, and is on call should you need anything at all! Nicole's expertise and passion is in the travel and tourism industry. She loves serving people, and helping them discover the wonderful things our area has to offer. Nicole has worked serving tourists in several premier Waterton Park area hotels and restaurants, including The Prince of Wales Hotel, and Waterton Lakes Resort. She has connections to many local businesses, and can offer unique Vacation Packages to our visitors. Nicole is also an avid runner, hiker, cross country skier, adventure-seeker and mother of 3, and can give you first-hand recommendations and information on most of the area's trails and sightseeing.
