Family cottage 15 mins from Waterton, AB! Perfect Winter Getaway

Situated only 15 minutes outside of Waterton Lakes National Park, The Sunset Cottage has the privacy, comfort, and charm to make your vacation a rejuvenating retreat! Nestled inside the friendly hamlet of Mountain View, with a panoramic view of the gently rolling hills of Southern Alberta’s beautiful farm country, this is a place you will want to return to again and again! *****Please note this house is 100 years old and in the winter months the kitchen and bathroom floor is cooler. We recommend bringing a warm pair of socks or slippers for your stay****

Our 750 square foot cottage has just undergone a complete and thorough upgrade, making everything inside and out modern, fresh and new! Sunset Cottage sleeps 8 people and includes two bedrooms. The master has a queen bed, and large closet for storage. The second bedroom has 2 bunk beds (4 twins), and huge drawers for tons of storage, as well as some bedside shelves and a mini-closet. Each bed has its own reading light and electrical socket for personal use. A portable crib is also provided.

A comfortable family room includes an electric fireplace for cozy evenings, a couch (pull-out sofa), 2 sofa chairs and a flat screen television/BLUERAY player (movie collection provided). From the comfort of the family room you can look out the large double full glass sliding doors at the picturesque view of the mountains and sunset to the west, or you can enjoy these gorgeous views from the beautiful new 400sq foot deck just outside.

Sunset Cottage has a fully renovated new kitchen, including a new dishwasher and microwave, as well as a large table perfect for meal prep, dining, and game nights! The kitchen receives natural light from 3 directions, and is a gorgeous centerpiece of the house. It is also fully stocked with dishes, cups, utensils, pots and pans, crock pot, rice cooker, toaster, electric pancake griddle, and coffee maker.

The beautiful full bath has gentle natural light, and includes a tile shower with ceramic tub combination, and pretty counter/sink. A full size washer and dryer are included, and are enclosed in a closet in the bathroom for your convenience.

This beautiful property offers a 1/2 acre of land with a fire pit, tree swing, hammock, and BBQ.

Other amenities included with your stay are: WiFi access, board games, outdoor games (football, soccer ball, basketball etc...), and roasting sticks for the campfire.

*Due to the grassy fields, smoking on the property cannot be permitted. Thank you for helping to protect our community.

Loved the proximity to Waterton park and the peace and quiet to come home to at the end of the day. Kids loved the bunk beds and the firepit. The fully equipped kitchen and barbecue made for healthy home cooked meals to fuel our hikes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent 5 night stay. The property matched the pictures and was very clean. It also was very well-stocked and equipped (e.g., kitchen supplies, games, books, etc). Some select elements are starting to show wear and/or their age but overall we couldn’t have asked for much more.

It was a beautiful place with lots of space and the views were gorgeous. Owners had practically everything we may have needed there. Only downside was we were literally near nothing so you’d have to drive into waterton or neighboring towns for things but that’s not a huge downside. Overall loved our stay thank you!!

Spring Break get away

This well-designed, clean, and brilliantly located cottage was a wonderful place for a few days rest and exploration of Waterton National Park. The little hamlet of Mountain view has a nice general store for the items we forgot, and we had horses in a paddock out the patio window as foreground to a great view of the Mountains. Our hosts were responsive and professional. My family is excited to visit again.
