Stay In A Log Cabin and Ride From The Ranch

Stay for a night, a weekend, a week or even two! We offer two cozy, authentic log cabins nestled in the foothills of the Rockies right beside Kananaskis Country. They come with full kitchen, television/DVD player (no satellite hookup), a loft bedroom, and a great view.

The surrounding area offers great photographic opportunities. Whether you’re a horse enthusiast or just want to strap on your hiking boots and head up the ridge into Kananaskis country, this is the perfect place for singles, families or a romantic and relaxing getaway.

If you’re a cross- country ski enthusiast or enjoy skating, we’re only 5 km from the Sandy McNabb Recreation Area.

Amazing! One of the most memorable and talked about experiences I have had. We could not have wanted a more amazing experience exploring the mountains by horseback. Great horses, guides, employees, accommodations, food and education. Hope to go back again one day.

Sending out a great BIG THANK YOU to all the fantastic staff at Anchor D! Took my 7yr old granddaughter out for a 4 day adventure and she loved it �� Stayed in the cabin and could not have asked for a better time! Check out this great adventure - good for the whole family.

Just recently returned from a week staying at the ranch, in Grandpa's cabin. A very nice cabin for watching the horses come down to the ranch in the morning after spending the night in the hills. Also, sitting on the porch, with coffee, and watching the sun rise over the eastern hill behind the ranch, over the beautiful stand of Aspen trees, was a particularly enjoyable morning routine. All in all, it was a very memorable week spent at the ranch.

Thank you so much for a most excellent stay. Your ranch is a little piece of heaven and we were thrilled to spend such a splendid weekend there

I wanted to send you a note to let you all know what a wonderful time we had at Anchor D in early June. Staying in the Hunter`s Cabin was a perfect fit (comfortable bed and deep claw-foot tub), and your hospitality was second to none. Meals were delicious and plentiful (thank you Kelly and Katy) and your company was warm and welcoming at all times. We especially enjoyed meeting all your friends. What a great group of people...you are a lucky man Dewy.

I wanted to thank you for a great time. The horseback ride was great and my horse was super and so much enjoyed the scenery and your staff. They were very accommodating and enjoyed the peace and quiet.... The cabin was perfect and so was the scenery from the cabin Warm and inviting.

Thank you for your hospitality last weekend. My family had a great time, enjoyed being unplugged from the world for a bit and just hanging. The kids thought the games operation and twister were a hoot.

Wanted to send along a little note to thank you for a wonderful trip that my Dad and I shared together at your ranch in July. We have talked about riding in the Rockies since I turned 10 - I'll be 37 next week but better late than never! It was a dream come true for this father/daughter team. Your staff is amazing, your facility gorgeous and everything was perfectly suited to our needs. I can't thank you enough.
