"Slice of Heaven We could not have been happier with our stay, and we were honestly disappointed to have to leave. The journey was part of the fun as you venture to the property you really get a sense of just how deep in the wilderness you were getting. The drive was quite easy, the instructions provided by The Walkers were spot on and Google maps also worked quite well (follow it all the way until you see the wooden Rocky Mountain Escapes sign, then turn to that instead). Gary gave us a perfect tour of the property including some amazing insight to hikes in the area. We ended up doing a 9.5km down the river towards a nearby mountain and it was stunning. The cabin was extremely comfortable, stunningly clean, and equipped with more amenities than we expected, very good hot water. Everything with the stay was absolutely lovely and we can't wait to come back." - Ben via VRBO October, 2022
"Enjoyed our 2 night stay at this remote cabin in the woods. No service, no TV, and no wifi makes for a perfect disconnect. We had an unbelievably beautiful day at Rock lake paddling and checking out the trails. Julia and Gary were warm and welcoming hosts and the cabin had everything we needed!" - Melissa via Google September, 2022
"The most beautiful stay!!! It was a beautiful place!!! Peaceful and tranquil, definitely would visit againđ" - Colin via VRBO September, 2022
Super Beautiful. What a great reception sweet people We even got a welcome basket with some snacking and drinking a sweet card and we even made a campfire with them one of the evenings nice chatter about food drinking etc really a nice place to recharge and be 1 with nature a walk or just read a book by the fire inside." - Katinka via Booking.com September, 2022
Great place to stay Great place to stay, very quite and relaxing. The owners were so welcoming." - Graeme via VRBO September, 2022
"Tranquility In The Woods We loved our time here. Beautiful wood cabin in the woods that offers you a chance to completely unplug and decompress. We arrived on the later side and let Gary and Julia know. They were there to greet us and help us familiarize ourselves with the cabin. Gary had a fire going and ready for us! It is a lovely space with everything you need to enjoy your time there. Well stocked kitchen. We particularly enjoyed cooking on the griddle outside and enjoying the scenery while doing so. Our host left a bottle of wine, some chips and a welcome letter. We wanted to go fishing and Gary was happy to help us set this up online. Gary and Julia went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We did not want to leave! I would suggest traveling during the day if possible as with all great off the grid places it is more challenging to travel to at night. We treasured our time here and did not want to leave! We hope to return soon!" - Christina via VRBO September, 2022
"An absolute highlight! We highly recommend a stay at the cabins. Our stay at the Rocky Mountain Escape Log Cabins was a highlight of our trip to Canada. We loved the cabin and being in the mountains, hiking, relaxing or sitting by the fireplace. We were there for four nights in September and would have loved to stay longer. Great time of the year for our hikes and to get cozy by the fireplace in the evening. We would also love to experience winter there! Julia and Gary are exceptional hosts, very hospitable, nice to chat with and fun to be around. Cabins well equipped, nothing was missing. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. It was outstanding and just perfect to unwind!" - Julia via Google September, 2022
"Peaceful and scenic getaway. For being off grid, the cabins were well equipped with all the amenities of home. Thank you Julia and Gary for the warm hospitality!" - Jayson via Google September, 2022
"Away from the noise of the city, placed in the middle of nature. If you are looking to get away from the modern world, but still have the comfort of a cabin with a fully equiped spacious bathroom and a cozy bed and couch in the mountains, then deffnitely this is the place you are looking for. The drive there is an adventure in itself as well. The owners are really nice, helpful and kind people. We recommend this place with all of our hearts." - Szende via Facebook September, 2022
"I cannot express how perfect the log cabins are, how hospitable Julia and Gary were throughout our stay, how beautiful the location is, and how absolutely peaceful the whole experience was. There were so many charming touches! We had access to everything we needed to cook and to be comfortable without removing the wilderness aspect of the location. Our little car was able to make it there in the summer no problem! This is the perfect place to unplug and unwind!" - Alicia via Google August, 2022
"Great Experience. My boys and I loved our stay in your cabin." - James via VRBO August, 2022
"Itâs a MUST stay location if you love nature. A true ESCAPE location from our busy life. We were so apprehensive to book it initially and after 3 days of stay away from all network connections, we think it would have been a huge miss if we decided not to book it. The atmosphere is very peaceful. There is no noise or sound other than the water running in the stream or birds chirping in the trees. The air is pure and fresh. Though it rained a bit just before our check in and during night, we loved the smell of soil, the cold breeze at night and a warm but pleasant breeze in the day. Host, Julia and Gary are simply awesome and at your service for any needs. The warmth and care they showed us (3 families) made us feel like meeting our family members after long time. Thank you Julia & Gary for joining us for dinner and for the extra wine bottle âşď¸ The quality family time we had there is unexplainable. We now know that we can live without mobile connection, TV or any other social media and enjoy great family time. Thanks to Rocky Mountain âESCAPEâ. Gary, you made our checkout day special by sharing the viewpoint info. Willmore Wilderness Park viewpoint location is stunning and a must watch. We feel so fresh and active. We will be back again soonđ" - Rajesh via Google August, 2022
"I have stayed twice now at Rocky Mountain Escape Log Cabins, the first time in the summer of 2021 shortly after the new owners, Julia and Gary, took over, and then again this past summer. Although it was a wonderful and unique experience the first time, the improvements made over this past year are outstanding! It is such a wonderfully serene and perfect cozy cabin experience that I really can't say enough. The cabins are super clean and well outfitted, and the scenery is spectacular. Julia and Gary are also just the loveliest of people and make terrific hosts!! If you are looking to get away and 'escape', look no further!" - Kim via Google August, 2022
"We love staying at Rocky Mountains Escape! Location is amazing! Perfect place to disconnect and enjoy nature. There are easy hikes with amazing views and a river to enjoy with little ones. Cabins are beautiful and cozy. Julia and Gary are wonderful hosts that make you feel welcomed, making sure everything is ready for a great stay. We canât wait to go back!" - Nallely via Google August, 2022
" I just got back from a quick solo two-night trip at the Escape. We usually try to go for at least three nights but my schedule didn't allow it this time. I had a great relaxing trip and a big thanks to the new owners (Julia and Gary) for making some nice improvements (no more smelly water!) and for maintaining the essence of this very special and unique place in the mountains. We have been going there for over 20 years and always look forward to our annual trip (sometimes more than once a year). The cabins are spectacular - very large and beautifully made and just an amazing place to stay. As per most trips I spent some time reading on the front deck of the cabin nestled in the forest, some short strolls around the Escape (down to Munn Creek is a must-do) and some longer walks down in the valley. There is no shortage of things to do but I will admit to also just sitting and listening to the wind and admiring the view. The attached photos are from the Rock Creek viewpoint on the far end of Rock Lake (~15 minute walk from the end of the road) and Rock Lake at the eastern end. Bring your canoe or kayak - you can paddle quite far up Rock Creek as per one of the photos of the valley. Next up at the Escape is the changing of the leaves in September and the elk rut." - Mark via Facebook August, 2022
" What a beautiful cabin and location! It far exceeded our expectations and the hosts, Julia & Gary, are such pleasant folks. We will definitely be back! Would love to experience it in the winter! Thoughtful amenities" - Keri via Facebook August, 2022
"A truly escape in the Rocky Mountains. A perfect place to leave the hectic life behind for a while. Very nice place, well maintained. A must for anyone who wants something different than the calibrated places where you are one of the many. Very quiet, surrounded by nature." - Jan via VRBO August, 2022
"A wonderful place in the nature really to relax and decompress off the grid. Had an amazing weekend and will go back coming month. Very helpful lovely hosts as well. Highly recommend!" - HJ via Google July, 2022
"(Translated by Google) A magnificent experience in the great outdoors! bears, elk, deer, squirrels on the program and such a pleasant welcome from Julia and Gary! Gary helped us organize our walks, fishing trips, a rafting session. THANK YOU to them for this unique and memorable stay in a typical and comfortable cabin!" - Nathalie via Google July, 2022
"If youâre looking for a true wilderness experience with all the comforts of home, then look no further! The Walkers are so friendly and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Explore the nearby creek flowing through the property, take a short drive to beautiful Rock Lake and or set out on one of the numerous hiking trails, youâll have plenty to enjoy. Or simply take it all in with a glass of wine and sit by the fire surrounded by mountains. Almost too good too be true!" - Gillian via VRBO July, 2022
"Thank you Julia and Gary. It truly was a wonderful escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of everyday life. An absolute gem! â¤ď¸" - Cheryl via Facebook July, 2022

"An AMAZING 5 year Anniversary Adventure!! We loved every single minute of our stay at Rocky Mountain Escape! The owners Gary and Julia were very welcoming when we arrived. We were able to stay in the pet friendly log cabin, which we truly appreciated as we wanted to bring our four legged companion to join in our Rocky Mountain Adventure! We found a wonderful surprise as we walked into our beautiful log cabin! There was a welcome basket for both us and our pup! We appreciated the personal touches and kindnesses of the welcome package and the hand written letter - including treats for our little furry friend! We enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility of the Rocky Mountains and being in the middle of nowhere! Sitting outside on the porch and hearing only the birds and creek out in the distance was a bonus. We enjoyed gathering around the fire in the main area with the mountain view and visits from some curious deer :) Thank you for making our 5 year anniversary memorable!" Julia via Google July, 2022
"My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here and it was absolutely beautiful. We loved every minute of our escape. It was so peaceful being unplugged and enjoying nature. We cant wait to plan our next visit." Laurrane via Facebook June, 2022
"The experience there was so wonderful. So welcoming and just felt like home. Everything was perfect from the hikes to cuddling up by a crackling fire. Will definitely be going again!" Carah via VRBO June, 2022
"The hosts were fantastic and made us feel incredibly welcome. They have done a fantastic job of setting up a welcoming, comfortable oasis in the mountains. It was great to have a pet friendly cabin to bring along our dog to enjoy our time in nature. This getaway was exactly what our family of 4 needed to start our summer in the mountains. This was the perfect spot to disconnect, unwind and relax. We had a great weekend exploring Rock Lake provincial park, watching wildlife out of the windows in the cabin and getting close to Deer, Squirrels and Rabbits, and some amazing bird watching including Hummingbirds and Gray Jays right outside the window of the cabin. The firepit was a fantastic spot to watch wildlife and roast smores after dinner each evening." Thomas June, 2022
"Had a wonderful time here this past weekend! It was above and beyond what we expected. The cabins are beautiful and it is clear there is a lot of love and care that is put into them. Falling asleep to the fire crackle of the wood stove & the running water near by, it truly is an 'escape'. Perfect place for a getaway! Thanks again to the amazing hosts đ" Leanne via Facebook June, 2022
"Relaxing atmosphere in the middle of no where , Julia and Gary have done an amazing job , Cabins are beautiful with all amenities one could expect , the welcome package was very thoughtful and the bed was so comfy, the bath robes are a nice touch , grill on the deck and everything else you could possibly want or need is inside the beautiful cabin , very relaxing and we will definitely be going back, thanks Gary and Julia we had an awesome night and enjoyed being able to disconnect and enjoy the scenery, thanks again and see you again soon." Angela and Robert via Facebook June, 2022
"Such an incredible hidden gem!! đđ The owners, Julia and Gary, are the sweetest, share tons of knowledge about the cabins / land history, include such thoughtful, cozy touches such as a bottle of Sawmill wine due to the history and much more. The cabins themselves are spacious and cozy with the comfiest bed providing the best sleeps and the ability to have a shower with hot running water. Not to mention being able to relax by the wood fireplace, listening to the crackling and having endless amounts of wood / kindling supplied. They are outfitted with dishware, a fridge, a cooler and more. They have a beautiful fire pit area positioned perfectly, making you feel like you are in the show Yellowstone. There is 68 acres of the Rockyâs for you to explore outside your cabin door with a beautiful creek right below. The only downside⌠youâll wish you stayed longer." Jessica via Facebook May, 2022
"Cabins have everything one needs to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Itâs a piece of heaven on earth. Lots of trails to hike lakes and rivers for fishing and kayaking. The most gracious hosts." Stuart via Facebook May, 2022
"We loved our time at the escape. we stayed with our family of five ( 3 boys all under 6). the cabin is more than equipped for a weekend warrior. cooking on the propane flat top was awesome, don't forget the bacon and pancakes!! the propane powered fridge was ample and slightly bigger than a typical mini fridge. the hot water is plentiful ! The cabin offers large windows, plenty of wood to burn on what looked like a new wood stove, very comfortable bed and sofa bed, large deck for hanging out.. the list keeps going on.. The trip in was super fun too.!!!" Len and Dani via Facebook May, 2022
" The Most Magical Getaway" Simply, it is worth everything it costs. One of the best trips away we've ever spent. Mark via VRBO May, 2022

"Our Birthday Weekend Getaway was absolutely perfect! The cabins are beautiful and very well equipped. Our Hosts were super and went above and beyond expectations. It was perfect and our hosts even made me a birthday cake from scratch! They were so nice, accommodating , always with a wave and a smile or great conversations. Add this place to your bucket list! Truly! " Judester via Google May, 2022
"I can honestly say that this was one of the most peaceful, relaxing, calming places I have been too. It was definitely worth the drive which itself, is not like anywhere I have been! No cell, no TV, just nature, beauty and quiet. You don't get to fall asleep to the crackle of the fire and wake up to the birds with no other sounds many other places. We had every type of weather in the 2 days we were there. Sun with no coat sitting on the deck and then 2 minutes later a beautiful snow fall and 2 minutes later beautiful sun again and it would all start to melt. The owners, Gary and Julia are very thoughtful and put a lot of work into having this amazing escape. They left a little note and a bottle of wine which gives it that little extra special touch that makes you feel even more welcome. They are there if you need anything, otherwise, it's just you and the view and nature. I highly recommend making the trip! We will definitely be back there soon!" Aileen via Google Apr, 2022
"Remote Cabin Excursion. Our visit was on the Easter long weekend. Fresh snow fall on the way in, and t shirt weather the next day on the patio. Away from everything but nature. HOT running water. Nice full size shower. Excellent wood burning furnace. Clean, Fresh mountain water, from the tap. Beautiful patio. Sweet, outdoor griddle. True Surround Sound, crystal clear, natural silence, and 360° panoramic mountain and forest visuals. The Cabin is so cozy, it makes you, want poor weather outside, so you can stay indoors, and enjoy the complementary wine and chips/crisps provided. The second day, I was so relaxed, I had are hard time distancing myself from the comfy queen bed and the perfectly placed wood heater. Location is remote, so bring your bush smarts, and your appreciation for nature. On the way in we seen a few deer. On the way out however, we seen a smaller Brown Bear on the road. It quickly scrambled up the slope and disappeared into the forest. There was also Elk sign near the Cabins, close to the frozen creek, and was pleased to meet the resident Gray Jays/"Robber Jays/Whiskey Jacks". Which you can read all about in the "Birds of Alberta" book, provided for your researching pleasure. And the lovely owners? Well they are both absolutely delightful. On a five start scale, this mountain get away, is a perfect TEN." Dion via Google Apr, 2022
