I am one of those people who likes to find peace near water. If you are too, then visit this adorable cottage resting along the delightful Sheep River. I enjoyed visiting this place so much that I want to come back again and again. It is a nice place!

With spectacular outdoor beauty, this property offers quietness and serenity, allowing one to be lost in nature.
The cottage itself is sparkling clean and has all the amenities one needs.
With one queen bed in the bedroom and two queen sofa-beds in the living room, the cottage sleeps six . From the master bedroom you can listen to the river whisper deep into the night!
Three additional sleeping pods, each with a queen bed, sleep another six. The pods are available at $150/per pod for the duration of your stay (not per night!). I highly recommend the pods! They are fantastic and allow additional privacy for guests.
Guests may also bring motorhomes, tents, etc.
The huge, oversized deck, fire pit and massive lawns create spaces for both relaxation and fun activities.
Summertime invites dips into the fresh, crystal-clear swimming holes. Nighttime brings laughter and conversation in the hot tub and gatherings around the large outdoor firepit.

Summary: Area was beautiful, peaceful, quiet, very private. Cottage itself was cute, but we were expecting a little bit more space for the amount of people that stayed:) Also, the bathroom situation worked fine for a 2 night stay, but not ideal for a longer term stay with that many people. Overall, it was very cute & cozy to stay in. Fees were higher than we anticipated. 300/night sounds like a great deal at the outset, till it's booked and then the fees came, and it was more than we expected.

Summary: The property is absolutely beautiful along the river and very quiet and private. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Easy to find and only 5 minutes drive from all the main businesses in Turner Valley. Everyone in our group loved it and would definitely stay again. Both the host and caretaker were responsive and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Summary: Amazing property and host. I hope to visit again in the future! My only issue was the check-in/out process. It's clearly stated on the profile that there is no person-to-person contact, but I was greeted by the caretaker both when checking in and out. Though the caretaker is very polite and welcoming, it was not expected. Especially seeing them turn on the lights and walk out of the front door right as I was arriving. I appreciate the gesture, but it took away from my experience of feeling like I was alone at a riverside home in nature. The caretaker also lives within eyesight of most areas of the home (both inside & outside). I imagine this will be noticed less in the warmer seasons as the vegetation will create separation but in the colder months, it's very apparent. All of this said, I enjoyed my stay and will hope to visit again - just with different expectations. My goal with this review is to help others have realistic expectations.

Summary: The pictures of the property are excellent, but they still do not do it justice. The house located at the end of the road is quiet and very well maintained. Everything one could need is available. Donna and Ian ensured that we had everything one could want in order to have an excellent holiday! We can't wait to visit again!!!

Summary: What a wonderful and chill end of summer vacation! Beautiful home, amazing deck (huge!), fun for the doggos (swimming, running, playing, freedom), and Jack the dog and Ian next door! We played games, rode bikes, chatted, cooked in a well equipped kitchen, visited Eau Claire Distillery and Bertie's Vintage in town (cool place!), and laughed ... a lot! We will return, maybe in the winter to experience the property at a different time of year ... as well as a hopeful return in the summer!

Summary: This property is truly amazing! It is so beautiful and what it has to offer is breathtaking. During our stay, we unfortunately encountered severe weather not allowing us to explore as much as we had hoped too yet this quite honestly ended up on being one of our most memorable and relaxing getaway's ever! Donna the property owner is simply fabulous....she is the best, and is there instantly should you require something as is Ian the groundskeeper! Our whole experience left us feeling refreshed....renewed...and knowing that we will be making a visit out here once again very, very soon! Thank you Donna from the bottom of our hearts.
