Rocky Mountain Cabins

for off-the-grid recreation & outdoor education

We provide Rocky Mountain cabins and retreat spaces for off-the-grid recreation and outdoor education. Our cabin accommodations, 35 minutes outside Radium Hot Springs, BC, are a secluded base for incredible hiking, rafting, biking, yoga, and relaxation escapes. We also have retreat spaces designed for land-based education, Indigenous cultural and cross-cultural learning, and earth-based living skills workshops.

Opened in 1996, our family built this place to emanate family warmth and story for adventurous, curious and tired souls alike. Our ancestors of the Georgian Bay Métis Community also influence us to operate in self-sustainable, and culturally and historically mindful ways. We aspire to have guests leave here feeling peaceful, rejuvenated for their lives at home, and renewed for new ways they might contribute to our collective well-being.

About Us
We live and work throughout the lands of the Ktunaxa Nation and Blackfoot Confederacy—the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai Nations. This land is also overlapped by Tsuut’ina, Îyârhe Nakoda—Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney—and Métis territories. Our family came here over four decades ago. We are grateful to be here and to share what this compels us to do in this place.
