About this property

Cozy Country Escape: Pet-Friendly Cabin with Ski & Snowshoe Trails

Feel rested and at peace when you stay in the rustic yet chic cabin known as the Lazy Larch. This self-contained 230 sq. ft. cabin is full of cozy charm and warmth. Nestled in the middle of a small field, it offers views of the pond, a tamarack forest, and stunning sunsets from the covered deck. In the winter months, you can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or walking the 2 to 5 km loops of trails. Our resident chickens provide fresh farm eggs for breakfast, and we supply the coffee and tea to start your day right. The galley kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities you need, including a full fridge, gas stove with oven, microwave, coffee maker, and all the cookware you'll require.

Bring your fishing rod and try your luck at the stocked trout pond, or simply relax on the cuddle couch with a good book. Firepits and wood are provided for wonderful marshmallow roasts. Just 6 km from Rocky Mountain House, our property is a short drive to the beautiful Abraham Lake and the community of Nordegg. Crimson Lake is only 15 minutes away, offering opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, and enjoying lovely beaches. There are also countless backcountry trails perfect for horseback riding. If you’re an equestrian, we provide a great place to bring your horse for an overnight stay or to participate in local clinics. Come stay and play with us at Twisted Ski BnB in the beautiful Rocky Mountain House area!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea and James

Host profile image
Friendly, outgoing, respectful, honest family oriented couple. Outdoor enthusiasts who loves to cross country ski, hike and fish! We love to meet like minded people and enjoy a good "chin wag" around a fire.

Why they chose this property

We like to think this property chose us. It’s the perfect location, close to town and backing onto a beautiful marshland where we hear loons and sandhill cranes throughout the summer, and enjoy cross-country skiing in the winter. It offers the ideal blend of quiet, tranquil beauty, all while being close to Rocky Mountain House and the wild, untamed backcountry. We love exploring the hiking trails around Abraham Lake and especially enjoy visiting Nordegg and the Miner’s Café for their fresh, homemade pies. One of our favorite winter activities is ice fishing on the many little lakes in the area, where we often catch fresh fish for dinner! Rocky Mountain House is a year-round playground, perfect for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, fishing, or whatever your heart desires. We feel incredibly lucky to call this place home.

What makes this property unique

The Lazy Larch Cabin has a unique story. It was built to accommodate a sky diving school north of Edmonton and spent 20 years as a instructor accommodation with bathrooms. It was relocated here in 2022. The Cabin was fully renovated and every aspect of it was reinvented with love with the help of a community of friends and family. Behind the walls inside the cabin are words and wishes from everyone who helped us build this dream and thoughtfully chosen words of well wishes for our future guests stay. The energy is truly peaceful as every inch of the the space was created from love and hope. We know you will feel it too.
