If you are looking for a unique experience that offers privacy, quiet and comfort the Roost has it! In addition to all that, a river runs through the property and it's just steps away from the cabin! Sunrise, sunset or high noon, rain or shine, it doesn't matter when you are there it's beautiful and relaxing. The owner is about as friendly and entertaining as they come and he has great stories! A real life cowboy for sure. Awesome experience and it comes with a guitar!

Peaceful retreat

We were looking to "get away" and have a private place to relax with our dog with access to water, woods and stars. This place was perfect for just that. Joe is great and was very welcoming.

Great Get-away

Nice rustic cabin with water and heat located on the Oldman River, just what we were looking for. Spent 5 days relaxing, exploring the property, and staring at the stars at night. Joe is a great guy with lots of knowledge of the area. Located about 15 minutes from Pincher Creek with easy access from the main highway. We would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Jacobson

Host profile image
Joe is a retired rancher/outfitter that has decided to share his beautiful riverfront cabin with small groups and families that love the outdoors and especially fishing the pristine waters of southern Alberta....not to mention, if you ask nicely, he will happily share his Saskatoon and chokecherry berries when they are in season !!

Why they chose this property

Private...private...and seriously private !! Riverfront cabin on the Oldman River...15 minutes from the small town of Pincher Creek, Alberta. Fish the Oldman River, Crow's Nest River, Castle River, Oldman River Reservoir. Waterton National Park is only a 45 minute drive away from this remote cabin.

What makes this property unique

Fishing, hiking, kayaking, an abundance of wildlife ... all available without ever leaving Jacobson's Riverside Ranch. From the highest point on the ranch, you can enjoy beautiful Rocky Mountain views, with the river as a background ....a photographers paradise....
Perfect for a romantic getaway or bring the kids......you will never want to leave...but you will certainly come again !
