6 Bedroom Cabin in East Kootenay, Sparwood

If you're looking for an authentic Rocky Mountain experience, to bring your friends and family together and have memorable, meaningful interaction, in a historic ranch with privacy, world class skiing close by and dry fly fishing at your doorstep, abundant wildlife, and all the comforts of home or spa, you've found it. Built in 1906, Elk River Lodge is custom furnished with 10 luxurious beds, a magazine quality kitchen, hot tub, New outdoor cedar barrel Sauna!, outdoor grill, and views from every room. The hayloft in the barn is the ultimate place to listen to music and play games. It even has a 17 foot wide projector screen to watch your favorite movies with surround sound! Ideal for family gatherings, world class skiing and dry fly fishing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, snow mobiling, bike riding, golfing, even bob sledding...the lodge feels as though its in a national park that's all yours! Herds of elk and deer graze across the meadows each day. The property is bordered by the Elk River offering miles of world class dry fly fishing in total privacy and a beautiful spring creek flows next to the lodge. Many other streams full of trout are close by.
We run an authentic working ranch that boards horses and are ideally set up for Bed and Bale as well! Bring your fly rods or skis, camera, hiking boots and even your horses!
There's a large wood stove in the great room with plenty of cut firewood at your disposal, a foosball table and antique style record player with a nice collection of old vinyls, a hidden TV with a collection of movies, and a fire pit outside for roasting marshmallows while listening to the elk bugle.
The lodge is ideally located to take day trips to the surrounding national parks including Banff, Waterton and Glacier, as well as the provincial parks including Elk Lakes and Height of the Rockies.
We can arrange Grizzly bear viewing and horseback flyfishing trips to alpine lakes and pristine tributaries that seldom get fished, in valleys with no roads...along with mountain lion, wolf and linx hunting for the more adventurous...
We manage the property as a sanctuary for wildlife which creates the ideal setting to restore the soul and the lodge is ideal to comfort the body.
Elk River Lodge provides the ultimate way to experience the splendor of the Canadian Rockies, the way Montana used to be 100 years ago, only better.
We were recently spotlighted on Homeaway. See the link for the interview: https://www.homeaway.com/discoveryhub/get-inspired/partner-spotlights/property-spotlight-beautiful-ranch-in-the-canadian-rockies

Summary: We had a great time at Elk Valley Ranch. The house has more than enough room for all of us - comfortable beds, big living spaces and all the amenities you could think of. The real magic is in the location - horses to feed and get to know, creek and pond to play in, hot tub and sauna, river a short walk away - and movie night in the theatre in the barn. Nestled in the mountains - it was a wonderful get away. Thank you to Justin, Scruffy, Dixie and Roxy!

Summary: We hosted a digital detox yoga retreat and couldn’t have chosen a better location! This place has everything and more to feel connected to nature and company and to feel indulged. The views from every window is like a painting. The craftsmanship throughout the home is breathtaking. The barn was perfect to practice yoga and visit. All of the details were considered. Wood chopped, kindling, matches so we could enjoy the cracking fire on cool days. Luxurious towels for bath and hot tub. The sauna was loved by all. The wildlife…wow We will without a doubt be staying again. Thank you Ginette

Summary: First things first: Jason is the consummate VRBO host! We visited immediately following the summer wildfires which didn't affect the local Sparwood area greatly, but we had to cancel two other of our rentals for this trip that were further west due to evacuations in those areas. Jason is knowledgable and was more than willing to take the time to discuss and recommend new areas and specific rentals he would consider. We were relieved to have his advice. His suggestions were outstanding... As to our stay at his ranch...WOW!...delightful in so many ways. The picture window in the kitchen area is superb. We watched for and saw elk frequently. All the other amenities are great...read other reviews for detail. This trip to Western Canada was in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted it to be our best vacation ever...and it was! Jason's ranch was the last stop on our 5-stop trip and provided the perfect setting and ending. Thank you so very much, Jason, for providing us with the wonderful experience and all the time you spent we me in the planning stage. You are an extraordinary host!

Summary: This is a little slice of heaven situated along the Elk River with with 360 degree views of the majestic Canadian Rockies. House is perfect for families and the barn has a movie theater. The hot tub and sauna are added bonuses with amazing views. Little creek near the house was fun for the kids to float around in and everyone enjoyed fishing for trout in the Elk River. The horses on property were sweet and friendly. You can spend days exploring the massive property. Herds of elk came through in the morning and evening. You can spend hours just admiring the nature, wildlife and relaxing to the sounds of the babbling brook. Our family loved it here and plan to make this a regular visit. The lovely town of Fernie is only 30 min away where there are restaurants, shops and all outdoor guided activities. We went white water rafting and horseback riding. Sparwood is only 10 min away where there is a grocery store for any needs. Great for Relaxing and family bonding!

Summary: Our family came up to reconnect with the surrounding beauty and solitude of what we thought this setting could offer us. We were not disappointed in the least amount and wish our stay could have lasted much much longer. It was more peaceful and beautiful than what we could have imagined. Thank you for letting us experience this wonderful setting and wonderful property with our family. We also appreciated the recommendations on the surrounding activities and guide services you suggested. They were all wonderful people and a wonderful time.

Summary: We love to travel and have stayed in hundreds of vacation rentals. Hands down the best rental we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect. Super comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, movie night every night in the barn, fishing on the river and our favorite watching elk from the hot tube. Seriously, this is the place you want to stay. We are a family of 10 ages 9-45. Kids loved it. Thank you cant wait to return.
