We are passionate about nature and the environment. Living close to off-grid makes this area low in EMF, light and noise pollution. The well water is clean, pure and delicious. We are excited to share this Alberta wilderness with like-minded outdoor-type individuals who enjoy community glamping. There are two beautiful lakes (Battle Lake and Pigeon Lake) within a 10-minute drive that offer boating, fishing, beaches, biking and walking trails. Our property is about 1 hour south of Edmonton, Alberta. We have 2 different listings to choose from. Our Tiny Home Cabin and unique Glamping tents. Come enjoy this tranquil piece of nature with us - we look forward to hosting you!

Site 3: Leaf & Stone
Lovely campsite and campground
I booked this site for my husband and daughter to stay at. I was unable to join them but they said it was fantastic. It was very quiet and the site was very spacious (unlike many campgrounds where you are jammed in so tight you can hear the other campers conversations. My daughter loved having visits from the owners dogs and visiting the lamas! I would 100% book here again and highly recommend!

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!

Site 2: Sunset Blvd.
Sites were well spaced out and private! Close to Ma-me-o beach (~20 minutes) was a big plus. Compost toilets are easily the best I've seen, no smell and cleaned daily when I was there. Already booked my next trip there!

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).
