About this property

Cozy lakeside cabin 30 minutes from Waterton National Park

Our bungalow style cabin has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, a bathroom with a double shower, a large open concept kitchen/living room and a natural gas fireplace.

It is located on a 13 acre pond beside The Great Canadian Barn Dance, which is 1 hour from Lethbridge and 30 minutes from Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek, and Waterton Lake National Park.

Non motorized water sports are allowed on the lake, so you can bring a canoe, kayak, paddle board, etc. It is also great for skating/pond hockey in the winter. Swimming is not recommended. 5 minutes down the road is Cochrane Lake which is ideal for fishing. 10 minutes down the road is Waterton Reservoir which has a beach for swimming. There are plenty of hiking trails within a 30 minute drive.

The lake is shared with The Great Canadian Barn Dance which at one point hosted music camps, water sports camps, and other events throughout the summer. (Currently closed since Covid - unsure if it will reopen)

This property is pet friendly EXCEPT for cats as our family is allergic.

Nice little place

Property was nice, easy to find and good place to go "home" to after a day of exploring. Few things they could improve on for their guests but overall it was good for us.

Great cabin near Waterton Lakes NP

We had a great time at this charming cabin! Would recommend highly to anyone. The cabin itself is very nice and well equipped, and the views of the rockies are beautiful. It is very close to Waterton Lakes National Park and also to Glacier NP in Montana. Great place to stay at to visit the parks!

Great cabin

The cabin was perfect for exploring waterton lakes (30 mins) and glacier (1.25 hours to many glacier) national parks. It was well-stocked, beds were comfy, and it’s right on the pond. We enjoyed sitting on the deck for dinner, drinks, and games in the evenings.

Lakeside cabin by Hill Spring

Awsome stay

This was a lovely little cabin about 1h away from waterton town. Needed some planning for gas and groceries as this cabin is 30 minutes from a town with those commodities. Overall we had a really nice stay!

Peaceful and quiet

Just the right kind of place for us to relax. We enjoyed the sunsets, geese on the lake, horseshoes, and the perfect sized animal puzzle! We got to explore the area quite a bit from this home base. House was very clean and organized.

Great stay for a trip to Waterton

The house is well equipped and comfortable. We spent a few days exploring Waterton and enjoyed the space where we could relax after our hikes and check out the stars in the dark sky. It was unusually warm while we were there and the bedrooms were a bit stuffy, but the stay was lovely overall and the owners were responsive and accommodating.

Our Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very close to Waterton, which was awesome. Internet wasn’t very good but was not a problem because we were busy. Also suggest another couch if more than three adults one adult had to sit on the floor, which was still OK because it was my husband and he can sit on the floor once in a while. 😅

Clean interior, close to Waterton Lake National Park!

The cabin was clean and tidy! I would love if the backyard was up-kept to have a fire in the backyard. You can use the community fire pit, but I really enjoy the the use of pits in my backyard. It’s a great place to sleep close to several beaches and Waterton Lake National Park.

Cabin was as advertised. The yard needed some TLC. Looked like no one had been on the property for a few weeks.
