About this property
Cozy cabin in charming Cypress Hills with WiFi
Welcome to The Starlit Burrow in the Cypress Hills, Alberta!
This 624 sq ft cabin comfortably accommodates 2 people, with one queen size bed and a sofa bed in the living room. The cabin is fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, indoor wood-burning fireplace, wi-fi internet, and a smart TV.
You can enjoy the beautiful views and sounds of the Cypress Hills from the deck, or explore the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and nearby lakes.
The house is on a private 2 acres of land, directly bordered by Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park to the West and South and the Highway 41 to the East. It is a comfortable space that offers everything you need for a relaxing stay. Enjoy the warmth of the indoor wood-burning fireplace, the natural light from the big windows, and the spacious deck with panoramic views of the sky, stars and landscape. On a clear night, you can see the Milky Way, shooting stars, and maybe even the Northern Lights.
This space has wi-fi internet and a Roku smart TV so you can binge your favourite shows, or you can curl up and read the newest book release next to a cozy fire in the wood-burning fireplace. There is a full kitchen that has a fridge, freezer, stove, oven, air fryer and microwave. Other kitchen necessities include pots/pans, spices, and a traditional coffee maker (or a french press) to accompany our complimentary coffee, tea assortment, and hot chocolate. All of the water available inside the home is purified through a rigorous reverse-osmosis and UV-light system, so you don't need to bring any with you.
The cabin features one private bedroom with a queen bed, one spare room to set up a 31"x75" cot if needed, and a pull-out sofa if you doze off while watching a show. The full bathroom has a shower only.
The cabin is heated from a conventional central furnace controlled by a digital, easy-to-use, wall-mounted thermostat. The wood fireplace can be used to make the cabin extra toasty inside.
The outdoor space features a large, south facing deck that is perfect for morning yoga, or for stargazing on a cloudless night. There is an outdoor firepit, adirondack chairs, and a picnic table for your outdoor lounging and dining. We supply some firewood to start you off, but if you like a big outdoor fire, please bring your own firewood, or you can purchase firewood from the nearby Elkwater townsite during the camping season.
In spring and winter, it’s best if your vehicle has 4 wheel or all wheel drive, as the driveway slope can be a little challenging without them.
Besides the resident owl, some visitors include other bird and deer traversing the property. During the summertime, there may be cows grazing in the field West and South of the property. They are early risers and like to let the world know that.
We have 3 security cameras on the property for security purposes. 1 on the shop facing East monitoring the driveway and gate. 1 on the residence facing North monitoring the sidewalk. 1 on the residence facing West that monitors the front door. They record video and audio but will not be monitored during your stay.
The detached shop to the north of the cabin is locked for the owners' private use.
We welcome dogs as we know they are part of the family! We can only welcome dogs at this time due to owner allergies to other animals. We provide 2 clean, dog food dishes, 1 water dish, some poop bags and blankets to cover the couch and bed as we know they love to cuddle, but please use the blankets provided for the furniture. Please do not leave your pets unattended or unsecured in the residence. Please also pick up after your dog, and bring your own leashes and/or tie outs.

Our stay was amazing! If I could give more than a 10 out of 10, I would. Everything you need is on the property and it is right outside the town of Elkwater. Communication with Nicola was excellent. No issues at all before, during, or after our stay. We wish we had booked longer. Was a perfect quiet, relaxing, and peaceful getaway.
We had an excellent stay! The kitchen was FULLY equipped and had extras we didn't expect like condiments in the refrigerator, cooking oil, hot chocolate ... Thank you! There were plenty of linens for the kitchen and the bathroom. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. There was lots of firewood outside which we enjoyed. The first night was clear and perfect for stargazing! This is a lovely home away from home. We plan to return whenever we are in the area!
Beautiful property! Everything was perfect. Cabin was lovely. The hosts really did think of everything!We had a great time. Highly recommend this place!
We had a very enjoyable stay in this cozy cabin. It was very clean with many things to enjoy even on a rainy day. It’s also in a great location with beautiful scenery and many trails nearby.
The Burrow is very comfortable and private for a relaxing getaway. Beware of the ants and thistle if walking in the yard in sandals. Enjoyed our stay

Amazing amenities, stocked with great kitchen utensils, pots, pans, super sharp knives and axes availabile.
Delicious local coffee. Clear and useful instructions for indoor fireplace.
Beautiful location right near the entry to the Cypress Hills.
Cabin was stocked with everything you could need - and more! The hosts leave a small adorable snack basket for people, and dishes, treats, and blankets for your pets. One of the coziest, most pleasant cabin vacations we’ve had. Will definitely be back!
Lovely cabin in a great location. The place was very clean, with ample towels and extra blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, as well as spices, condiments and coffee. It was a lovely stay and we will visit again if in the area.
We really enjoyed staying at this adorable cabin. It was so well stocked and comfortable. Perfect location. The owners thought of everything! This is one of the best I have ever stayed in. I have already rebooked a few more days in the summer.
Staying at the Starlit Burrow cabin was such a wonderful experience! The cabin had everything we needed for cooking and some extra thoughtful touches that made it feel so cozy and welcoming. Being right beside the Cypress Hills Provincial Park meant we could easily explore the trails, and the nearby public beach was perfect for a refreshing swim. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, and the stargazing at night was absolutely magical. It was the perfect getaway to relax, reconnect with nature, and enjoy every moment, we can’t wait to come back!
Property perfect for our needs. Everthing just as advertised.Would like to apologise for mistakenly taking some condiments from the refrigerator, thinking they were ours.

We loved our stay at this truly cozy cabin just north of Elkwater village in beautiful Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park! The owner has thought of everything to ensure that guests want for nothing! Top linens and towels, a kitchen equipped with every possible culinary tool, outdoor amenities including a fire pit, propane barbecue, comfortable deck chairs and a hammock! It was heaven and we hated to leave!!! We'll be back!
I rented this cozy cabin with my 2 adult daughters and my little dog. We all loved it!! The hosts think of everything for their guests! There was a snack basket, slippers, board games, an Atari, a hammock and so much more! The house was spotless and so well decorated and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds are super comfortable too. Loved it!!
The cabin is very spacious, bright and clean. It's well stocked with many thoughtful features such as outdoor blankets to keep you warm while stargazing from the deck, comfy bed, great shower and a bidet! The location is only a 4 minute drive into town. It's very scenic and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing getaway!

Thank you for the kind words, we are happy you had a wonderful stay! We’d love to host you again next time you’re in the area!
This cabin is perfect and we had such a great stay. The thoughtfulness of all the little touches like the USB and plug ins right by the bed for your phones, the bathroom accessories, and the kitchen appliances were on point and so helpful. It is close to Elkwater and yet far enough away to be part of the bustle but out of the bustle! Highly recommend this great little spot.
Sweet little house with everything you need to decompress and have some quiet time alone. Fire pit outside and stove inside made the cabin feel perfect. Soft bed, clean linens, a big shower, and windows on every side so you can see the sky everywhere. Roku TV channels for binge watching was great, our two dogs settled in just fine.
