About the host
Hosted by Wendi Napier
Welcome!
We are a family who live in the trees next door. We raised our two boys here in Water Valley, watching them grow from toddlers to teens in the blink of an eye. Life moves fast, and it’s the precious moments that matter. We believe in taking a pause to notice the little things, to be present, to breathe deeply, to laugh, to play, and to connect with nature.
Together with our parents, Jerry and Linda Napier, we brought this cozy cottage in the woods back to life. Quiet country living has been their lifestyle for many years. On their small farm in Grande Prairie, Alberta, they’ve come to appreciate the solitude, peacefulness, and the close-to-nature feeling that the trees and wildlife bring daily.
We’re all excited to share Breathe Easy Cottage with you—a space to unplug, connect and recharge.
As your host, I’m Wendi, an interior designer with a passion for creating spaces that promote healing and relaxation. I find joy in making the cottage feel like a welcoming sanctuary, where every detail enhances your experience. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, I want you to feel restored. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, energy work and snowboarding in the mountains with my husband John, and teenage boys. We are always happy to share tips for local activities or favorite spots. We hope Breathe Easy Cottage becomes your sanctuary, where you can be with nature and find solace in the simple moments.

Why they chose this property
We chose to open Breathe Easy Cottage in Water Valley, near Windchill Lake, because of its natural beauty and peacefulness. Nestled in a valley surrounded by towering trees, the area feels like a hidden gem, offering guests a chance to escape the busyness of daily life. The forested landscape is teeming with wildlife—deer often wander nearby, and you may even spot a majestic moose or hear the calls of various bird species. The air is fresh and crisp, and the changing seasons offer breathtaking views, whether it’s the vibrant fall colours or the serene blanket of winter snow.
What we love most about the neighborhood is how quiet and tranquil it is. There’s a stillness here that lets you unplug, reconnect with nature, and recharge. No city noise, just the rustle of leaves in the wind and the occasional call of a distant owl at night. It’s a perfect spot to unwind, whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures or simply want to relax with a cup of coffee and soak in the serene surroundings. Every moment spent here feels like a breath of fresh air, which is exactly what we aim to offer our guests—a place where they can truly "breathe easy."

What makes this property unique
What makes Breathe Easy Cottage truly unique is the combination of its secluded setting and the thoughtful touches we’ve added to make it feel like a home away from home. The cottage is tucked away in a forested area, providing privacy and a deep connection with nature. You can step outside and be surrounded by the calming sights and sounds of the woods, while still being just a short drive from Calgary, Canmore, and Banff, offering both tranquility and convenience.
What sets us apart is our commitment to creating an experience, not just a place to stay. From the cozy, well-designed interior that invites relaxation, to the outdoor spaces perfect for sipping coffee or stargazing, every detail has been chosen with comfort in mind. Plus, our proximity to Windchill Lake allows guests to enjoy peaceful walks by the water or take part in seasonal activities like cross-country skiing and ice fishing.
But perhaps the most unique aspect of our property is the opportunity to truly disconnect and recharge. With no immediate neighbors and the quiet of the surrounding forest, you can unplug from the world and connect with the things that matter most—nature, your loved ones, or simply yourself. That blend of comfort, seclusion, and adventure is what makes Breathe Easy Cottage stand out from the rest.
