90+ Acre Ranch Directly On The Elk River In The Heart of the Canadian Rockies!
If you're looking for an authentic Rocky Mountain experience, to bring your friends and family together and have memorable, meaningful interaction, in a historic ranch with privacy, world class skiing close by and dry fly fishing at your doorstep, abundant wildlife, and all the comforts of home or spa, you've found it. Built in 1906, Elk River Lodge is custom furnished with 10 luxurious beds, a magazine quality kitchen, hot tub, New outdoor cedar barrel Sauna!, outdoor grill, and views from every room. The hayloft in the barn is the ultimate place to listen to music and play games. It even has a 17 foot wide projector screen to watch your favorite movies with surround sound! Ideal for family gatherings, world class skiing and dry fly fishing, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, snow mobiling, bike riding, golfing, even bob sledding...the lodge feels as though its in a national park that's all yours! Herds of elk and deer graze across the meadows each day. The property is bordered by the Elk River offering miles of world class dry fly fishing in total privacy and a beautiful spring creek flows next to the lodge. Many other streams full of trout are close by. We run an authentic working ranch that boards horses and are ideally set up for Bed and Bale as well! Bring your fly rods or skis, camera, hiking boots and even your horses! There's a large wood stove in the great room with plenty of cut firewood at your disposal, a foosball table and antique style record player with a nice collection of old vinyls, a hidden TV with a collection of movies, and a fire pit outside for roasting marshmallows while listening to the elk bugle. The lodge is ideally located to take day trips to the surrounding national parks including Banff, Waterton and Glacier, as well as the provincial parks including Elk Lakes and Height of the Rockies. We can arrange Grizzly bear viewing and horseback flyfishing trips to alpine lakes and pristine tributaries that seldom get fished, in valleys with no roads...along with mountain lion, wolf and linx hunting for the more adventurous... We manage the property as a sanctuary for wildlife which creates the ideal setting to restore the soul and the lodge is ideal to comfort the body. Elk River Lodge provides the ultimate way to experience the splendor of the Canadian Rockies, the way Montana used to be 100 years ago, only better. We were recently spotlighted on Homeaway.

Unbelievable views of the mountains. Great way to disconnect from life and enjoy family and friends. I hope to make this a yearly trip to this home and continue to enjoy the great experience. Everything you need is provided and at your fingertips. Thank you for sharing your home.
Amazing spot. The only slight disappointment was the sauna wasn’t working to its full capacity (one heating element failed) so it wasn’t that hot. Everything else was perfect.
Everything here is extremely well built, beautiful, unique and just plain cool. There was a welcome package provided, the property is huge and well maintained. The only thing that “could have been improved” was the barrel sauna didn’t seem to be working properly…it wasn’t very warm and later on it wasn’t working at all. For future travellers, just show up and enjoy, bring some good walking shoes to enjoy the full 90 acres, and some warm clothing if you’re going to enjoy the barn. Just an excellent property.
My friends son and I had an amazing time at the lodge. Everything was top-notch. We love the conservation minded approach to managing this property. Thank you to Jason for being a great host.
We were looking for a get away where the property was unique and close to nature, with a hot tub/sauna/fire pit, with plenty to of spaces inside and out
This was perfect!
Unbelievable. We’re a group that’s been getting together for the last 20 years. We all agreed…This was the best place we’ve ever stayed at. Location, amenities, etc etc were absolutely top notch. Kitchen was the best stocked we’ve ever experienced. We are hoping to be back.
Great place to stay. Fabulous views. Well distributed house. Many amenities including amazing wood furnishings. We had a great time overall including fishing at the Elk River.
We had a fabulous time at the ranch. It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary and the place was perfect. Something for everyone to do and space for all of us. We loved the hot tub, sauna and the the barn for movies. Jason was a great host and the caretakers on the property really took care of any needs we had. The only thing I would’ve done different is stayed longer!
It was everything we expected and more! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything a group would need. Beds were very comfortable. Linens and towels first class. View was awesome! So peaceful! Take a walk down the trail to the river, so worth it! Jason is quick to respond.Would definitely rent again!
We had 10 guys for a fly fishing trip. Everything went very smoothly. Enjoyed all the amenities. Also really enjoyed the views! Was a very relaxing time for all.

words can not describe the beauty of this place
we rented the property in March for a getaway. and the place is nothing if not exquisite from the beautiful mountain views drinking your morning coffee to relaxing in the hot tub durring a blizzard, or hearing the sounds of the mountain late at night. it was truly remarkable and cannot wait to return
Jason and Lena know how to make guests feel welcomed. They are generous hosts, and want to do everything they can to ensure their guests have their dream vacation. They did this and more for us. We couldn’t have been happier with their hospitality and home.
We loved the location. It was quiet and felt like a world away. The house was unique and comfortable.(the turntable was a blast from the past and a laugh for our kids).
The house has everything you need and more.
Will definitely try and get back there.
We had a great time at Elk Valley Ranch. The house has more than enough room for all of us - comfortable beds, big living spaces and all the amenities you could think of. The real magic is in the location - horses to feed and get to know, creek and pond to play in, hot tub and sauna, river a short walk away - and movie night in the theatre in the barn. Nestled in the mountains - it was a wonderful get away. Thank you to Justin, Scruffy, Dixie and Roxy!

Fantastic Place
This is an absolutely fabulous piece of property. This is the second time we have rented this property for a fishing trip. We enjoyed every aspect of the house. Comfortable, spacious and clean with great wood burning fireplace and the added bonus of a foosball table. The six of us agreed that we would definitely book this again. We would find it hard to find such a better place to stay when in the Fernie area.
