2 nights at Fairfolk Farm
We loved staying at Fairfolk Farm! The cabin was very cozy despite the dreary weather outside. The kitchen was perfect for the two of us, and we got some eggs, jam, and veg from Pinette to supplement the groceries we got.
It was just a short drive to Elk Island, so perfect for a hike. Definitely a highlight of the month, and we’d love to come back!

We were pleasantly surprised by how lovely the cabin was. Kara and Dan was also very nice in letting us setup a surprise proposal for my sister. The place was peaceful and quiet. It was a perfect place to unwind. The stars were beautiful at night. Would also mention that I was kinda hesitant on using the porta potty but to my surprise it was very clean unlike other porta potties I've seen in other camping areas. It's a great place to go to when you want to have a getaway that's not too far from the city. Would definitely come back!

A cozy spot with everything we needed for an easy get away from Edmonton. Beautiful walking trails and 5 minute drive from a little lake with lots of wildlife. The dogs Cooey and Ruger were great hosts as well!

This experience was hands down one of the most memorable times for myself and the ones I shared it with.
The cost was beyond reasonable.
If anyone is looking to create any life long lasting memories, this is by far your best bet.
The host and her family are very accommodating, yet allow for the privacy you are hoping to achieve by getting out of the city in the first place.
The property is breathtakingly beautiful and very well kept. Very enjoyable and not once problem or inconvenience arose for us, I couldnt have imagined a better result considering what we were looking to obtain.
I would highly recommend this property and I know I will definitely have this at the top of my list going forward.

This spot is a true gem with everything you could possibly need for your trip. The tent is so spacious and well maintained. The bed is super comfortable, and using the heater on the chilly mornings was a life saver. The hosts are so welcoming and accommodating, and communication was so easy with quick responses. Absolutely recommend booking your next trip here.

We loved our stay! The amenities were great, and the tent was super cute and cozy. We loved all the provided games, and the binder with the recommendations for stuff to do around the area! There were a lot of spiders, but they mostly stayed out of our way. Would definitely recommend staying here — just remember to bring some bug spray!

The cabin at Elk Island Getaway was an amazing place to stay while the family went on some local adventures. In fact, at the end of our time there everyone agreed that the cabin was the best part!! It was really comfortable and the nearby pond was so peaceful! The duck and geese were entertaining to watch too. We also quite enjoyed walking the trails. For a small fee you get a good amount of firewood and the water with pump was perfect. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to other families!

We had a lovely peaceful weekend away. We enjoyed walking on all of the well maintained trails available, had cozy evenings inside the warm cabin when the weather was kind of miserable outside and Mark was super responsive when we needed some missing supplies taken by previous visitors.
