Howser Vacation
We had a great time vacationing in the area and enjoying Paul’s cabin. As a carpenter, I had appreciation for all facets and detail that went into the construction of the cabin! Simply beautiful! Amazing property, most importantly for me, the remoteness, and the serenity of the area and comfort within the cabin. Great times relaxing, enjoying the family time we had. Lifetime memories. Thank you Paul! Dan

Escape from everything
This is set in a wonderful but very remote location! We came in from the north side and drove the ‘shorter’ route-which is not for the faint of heart-it is a very narrow gravel road that winds along cliff faces-extremely picturesque but a little nerve racking at times. When you pull into the cabin it is a wonderful beautiful location. The cabin is quaint with all the amenities-it is small. We went for an explore down to the lake-this was the highlight of our stay-we spent many days exploring the beach and lake which seemed like we were the only ones there-truly a wonderful spot. Couple down sides: as the cabin is likely not utilized all year and we came early in the season there was a definite noise problem-we caught one the first day but the smell was quite difficult to handle-the cabin bathroom especially was hard to be in as the mouse smell was almost overwhelming. We spent our time at the cabin in the hot tub, outside shower, eating on the deck, and enjoying the view. In summary-if you want to get away from it all: this is your place. We had a great time, would recommend it but know it is far away!

Serene Escape in Rustic Luxury
My recent stay was nothing short of amazing. Nestled in the wilderness, it offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. The views of the lake were breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop to a truly relaxing getaway. What stood out the most was the attention to detail – the cabin was impeccably maintained, and every amenity seemed designed for comfort and convenience (Especially the hot tub!). It was the ideal retreat for rejuvenation and relaxation, and I left feeling refreshed. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful escape in the wilderness. It's a rare gem that offers a perfect blend of nature's beauty and comfortable living.

Great property, we stayed for a week of hiking and kayaking and had a great time despite some wildfire smoke issues. The cabin checks all the boxes of comfort and convenience in a setting of fantastic beauty. Outdoor shower is a great feature and received a lot of use. Will absolutely stay again, as we didnt get to do any of our planned hikes north and east of Duncan Lake.

Amazing cabin right next to a gorgeous lake!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cabin. The serene lake was a joy to play in and the cabin a delight to stay in. We also enjoyed the wonderful drive over lakes and mountains to get there. This was such a nice place to relax after our 16 day journey hiking, camping, biking and paddling through the Canadian Rockies. Our host was super helpful, responsive and informative. Can't say enough positive things! We had a wonderful experience!
