Beautiful log home, 6 minutes from Kananaskis

Step into a rustic western movie on a working guest ranch with this stunning 1970’s, hand-built log home.

Sleeping up to 10 guests, this western-inspired home is the perfect family experience to understand what life was really like in the “good ol’ days”. With antique cowboy decor you’ll feel like you’re relaxing on the Yellowstone.

Cozy up to your wood burning fire place with a glass of wine and plenty of stories to tell for generations. Enjoy making memories on the property’s large guest space, watching kids play or simply enjoying the views with a warm cup of coffee.

This beautiful property is embedded with ranch history. What was once home to the Robertson’s, became the very large and well known Turner Valley Ranch in the 70’s and then the Bar N in the 90’s. This log-building was either home to the cow boss’ family or the the bunk-house for the cowboys working the ranch.

The home has been preserved to reflect the cowboy life. With 2900sqft of aged, rustic wood throughout, tongue and groove wood ceilings, excellent views, 5 spacious bedrooms, two large living areas, a wood burning fireplace, a full kitchen, a large 10-person dinning area, two full baths, one half bath, a large mudroom, tucked away kids play-area and sweeping views of the valley and historic red barn, this property has many stories to tell.

Located at the foothills of Kananaskis, you are mere minutes away from hiking, trail riding or snowshoeing the Sheep River Falls, Sandy Mcnabb or Blue Rock trails. Amenities of the small town of Diamond Valley are 6 minutes away, with locally-owned grocery stores, outdoor pools and award-winning restaurants, breweries and the Eau Claire distillery for a fun day out. The ranch is 90 minutes from Banff area and a 45 minute drive to Calgary’s inner-city or Stampede grounds. However, after experiencing the mountain and valley views of this property, you may never want to leave.

For a small fee, we can accommodate horse-lovers who wish to board their horses and park their horse trailer during their stay (please contact us directly for horse arrangements prior to booking).

We ask that guests stay in the permitted guest area, as our working ranch shares the property with longhorn cattle, horses and lots of wildlife.

We offer a menu of high-end, farm-raised beef to our guests. Beef can be ready upon arrival for guests who pre-order with our ranch.

We look forward to sharing this beautiful ranch with you, your loved ones, friends or family.


Other rules and guidelines:

We love having children experience the great out doors, but please be aware that we are a working ranch with animals, ponds, and other hazards that can be dangerous at times. Your CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES.

We ask that our guests do not enter any barns, pens or fenced areas. We live in another home on the ranch so there is a good chance you will see us around the ranch, If you have any questions about our animals, property, or fun things to do in the area, please feel free to ask us and we will do our best to answer your questions.

Guests who would like to bring their horses and horse trailer for their stay are welcome. Our ranch is located 7 minutes from Kananaskis and all the scenic trails it has to offer, please ask us about our horse boarding options prior to booking.

Parking is available on the driveway around the ranch house. Tents, campers, or trailers aside from guests bringing their horses are not permitted on the property.

We love all animals but we are a working ranch, and to help keep all of our animals calm and happy we have a NO PET policy during your stay.

Our ranch is on a water well and septic system, although there is lots of water available we ask that guests are mind full of their water usage to not stress the system. Only toilet paper is safe to put down the toilets. Kleenex, feminine products and all other items are to be put in the garage cans provided in the bathrooms.

Parties, photo shoots or events of any kind are not permitted.

Smoking and vaping is NOT aloud on our property.

Only the number of guests specified in your reservation are permitted on the property and aloud to stay overnight. We reserve the right to cancel your reservation and the full cost of the rental will be forfeited if unspecified guests are on the property.

We ask that our guests put all garbage in the provided bin in the boot room of the ranch house as to not attract unwanted four legged friends.

We hope these guidelines make your stay enjoyable and safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask us and we will do our best to answer them.

Weekend away
Spent the weekend with some BBQ buddies and this location was the perfect setting for our group. Lots of space inside and out to accommodate us at this rustic ranch house. Our host Evan was exceptional at answering our questions and the beef we got from him was delicious. A hidden gem and we are planning to make this an annual event.

Incredible Stay
We love everything about this property, except for the fire ban (out of our control). It was very peaceful and Kananaskis was just 6 minutes away! The host provided 2 complimentary wine bottles as well, which was a very nice touch!

A Little Taste of Heaven
This home relaxes you upon entry. Everything you need is available and easy to access. Each room is filled with beautiful furniture and tasteful decor. The beds are all comfortable and the bedding is delux. Every window you look out is like a hand painted picture of nature at its best. Being at the ranch was the best part of our trip - even over having lots of fun adventures in Calgary and the near by smaller towns. We enjoyed playing games in both the spacious living room areas and we had great family meals at the large dining table - we even rang the dinner bell each night! Our host was superb - friendly, informative and very available. We also found the local people to be very friendly and helpful while we visited in Turner Valley and Black Diamond. This is an exceptional property that left our family feeling so rested and refreshed. It is a destination all on its own.

Beautiful working Farm
We had a wonderful stay. There we 11 of us and we had plenty of room. Evan was so kind. He was right there whenever we needed anything. Will definitely stay here again.
