15 minutes from Waterton, family reunions, petting farm, horse & wagon rides,
This super fun property offers so much more than just accommodation. It is a great gathering place for families, reunions and special events. The Hayloft is located on a little farm Fort Heritage & Frontier RV Park just outside Waterton Park. There is a delightful pond on the property as well with peddle boats free for your use. We operate a small campground on the property with Glamping Tents, powered RV sites and tenting sites. We also feature a Petting Farm with bunnies, kitties, Angora goats, alpaca's, piggies, horses and more. New this year we are offering our "introduction to horses" program where we give rides in our arena. Our trained staff gives kids and adults a fun opportunity to learn a little about horses and then have rides while we lead the horse. We also offer wagon rides at night with our beautiful Clydesdale horse team. A real customer favourite is our Weaving/Spinning demonstrations with hands on rug making in our Yarn Barn. We are also adding this year The Hitching Post with pop shop, grandma's baking and local arts and crafts as well as a hands on geneology ancestor corner. We love telling our ancestor stories and love for you to share yours as well. There really is a lot to do here at The Hayloft. It has a great amount of space with fully furnished kitchen, two fridges, two stoves and ovens, large dining area and sitting area, extra tables and chairs seating for 20 plus people. With seven bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, 11 full sized beds there is plenty of sleeping space too. There is a hide-a-bed for extra sleeping needs and a single bed as well.

So in reality we can sleep up to 37 if the other home is rented along with The Hayloft.
The Hayloft is 895.00 per night for up to 20 persons and 30.00 per extra person. The taxes add another 9% will be added to the cost and there is a 200.00 cleaning fee.

The kitchen was wonderful for such a large group. Lots of rooms and beds for the entire extended family. The location was wonderful drove into Waterton twice each day for hiking and exploring.
Great place for a large family or group wanting to stay together. The hosts are friendly and accomodating. The home is well loved and worn, but the beds are clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay- its rare to find a home that can accomodate so many people for that price.
Enjoyed our stay at the loft. Had a family gathering and stayed for 2 night lots of room for a big family. Cheryl is easy to contact and replies quickly to messages. Will most likely book anither stay with her.
The location was excellent, it is incredibly beautiful and close to Waterton. The house had lots of room (and fridge space) and we all fit in easily The animals and weaving demonstrations were also fun. Cheryl was accommodating, great to work with and pleasant to talk to.
We had tons of space for our family gathering (17 of us). The kitchen had everything we needed. We went to Waterton each day, which was fantastic. The property has farm animals to see, a lake with peddle boats, and a hay ride, so there was lots for the kids to do!
We bought youth ages 11 to 17. They loved the house and the baby animals. Spent a day in Waterton and visited the Cardston Temple, it was perfect.

We had such a fun time showing you the farm and giving a wagon ride. What a cute and polite group of young girls you have. And you left our place so tidy and clean. Would love to have you back anytime!
We held our first ever family reunion at this beautiful location. This is a well loved family home that housed all of us, 10 adults and 14 children (lots of littles) very comfortably, with lots of room to gather, and plenty of nooks and spaces to be on your own if you needed quiet times. It really felt like a home away from home, in a terrific setting!The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. There were lots of very comfortable rooms with good furniture, and great beds! With three floors, the kids had ample play areas.We all enjoyed the farm animals and various outdoor activities as well. The weather cooperated beautifully!The hosts were welcoming and always ready for any questions. We loved our stay!
The location was fantastic and the accommodations were very comfortable. We had a campfire outside one night and it was lovely. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for an outstanding stay!

The farm near Waterton
The home had lots of activities to do, and the family was available to help make it a fun experience.
Great location, well equipped and very comfortable
We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the home which was very well equipped for larger groups. The location was a short hop to Waterton Lakes National Park and lots to see and do. Our host Cheryl was great and provided a huge list of things to do. We hope to do this again next spring.
Our family had a wonderful time at this home. Cheryl was responsive to any of our needs. The kids enjoyed all of the farm animals next door, and my husband and I took nightly walks to watch the sunset over the mountains. We would definitely stay here again!

We so enjoyed your family Erica. It was so great to share our heritage farm with you. Your girls sure loved those horses. Would love to have you again some time!
Check in was super easy and Cheryl was super helpful with any questions we had! There was plenty of room for everyone, we didnt feel cramped at all with 20 people. Will recommend
Hello, we are Eugene and Cheryl Davidsen. We built our own home and raised our lovely family here in this area. I was born and raised right here in Mountain View and am so very happy to have been able to raise my family here as well in a home we built from scratch. We love the view and the closeness to Waterton National Park. Our home is located on a ranch with barn and cattle. But we are located in such a convenient spot, right on Highway 5 and within minutes of Waterton Park. A little about our family - We raised 7 children, 5 boys and 2 girls and we now have 20 grandchildren. We have used our home for amazing family gatherings year round and have so much enjoyed having a place for everyone to come home to. It is so fun and satisfying to now be offering that to others through the VRBO site. We love to snowmobile in the winter, ATV and bike in the summer and we are all musicians. We have a family band and perform for various functions. We are also in the process of putting in a campground in our north field where we will be adding a Fort with cabins for large family reunions and retreats. Our cabins will have the names of our early settlers and ancestors here in Mountain View with their stories and pictures on the walls. We are so excited about this and feel there is a great need for large group facilities. Getting our home ready to rent out is the first step towards our goal. We want to offer a great place to bring families.
What makes this property unique
I think one of the best things about our property are the activities we offer our guests. Wagon rides, petting zoo, boating AND spinning and weaving demonstrations in our Hitching Post building. We love to show people a good time! We can even give you a horse riding experience!
