Site 1: Secret Sanctuary
We had an amazing weekend at the Secret Sanctuary Retreat. The site was big and can fit our three families comfortably. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the campground, and everyone raved about the composting toilets lol. Thank you for having us. Look forward to returning next year!

Tiny Home Cabin
Our family of 5 really enjoyed our time at the Tiny Cabin. It was just what we needed: an escape from the city. We loved the dogs and the lamas, the campfire each night and the beautiful location with the spectacular night skies. Thank you so much Denika et al. For such a wonderful opportunity.

Site 3: Leaf & Stone
Wow!
This was a great stay for the price. The homemade, farm fresh breakfasts were amazing as well, and it's easy to tell that a lot of love and care was put into the food!
I did find it a little less private as it wasn't far from the glamping tent and some of the artificial light at night and sounds from the neighbours, but I didn't find it a dealbreaker. Beautiful and rather isolated spot in the trees, just note that there's basically no cell service so if you're using a map on your phone, remember to download an offline map or bring your GPS if you're travelling around the area or going to the nearby lakes (I almost got lost at Battle Lake on a day trip, haha).

Site 2: Sunset Blvd.
Beautiful, secluded, campsite. Lots of trees and nature around you. Quiet and well maintained. Lots to do within Denika's property and surrounding area. Would highly recommend and will definitely camp here again.

Tiny Home Cabin
The Secret Sanctuary is a great little hidden gem not too far from Edmonton. Quiet, peaceful, and a perfect place for stargazing away from light pollution. There are plenty of opportunities to connect with nature: walking trails through the woods, llamas and chickens, and some friendly dogs that love to hang out with visitors (which could be positive or negative, depending on your opinion of dogs). The hosts are attentive and helpful. The composting toilet next to the Tiny Home Cabin is well-maintained and convenient, we never felt uncomfortable using it. The cabin itself is lived-in but still felt clean and comfortable.

Aspen Glamping Tent
Perfect dark-sky spot to watch the meteor shower and Aurora Borealis. Lovely hosts, wonderful glamping and delicious breakfast. Only 15 minutes from Village at Pigeon with great dining, groceries and gifts.
