This place is the most beautiful winter wonderland! All the hoar frost on the trees made for a magical snowshoe. We had so much fun exploring the property and hanging out in the sauna. Everything was decorated so beautifully and we had so much fun making gourmet dinners in the kitchen. The best part was probably the games night we had where I (Jordana) beat Coles butt in every game but one! We are a very competitive couple:). Best place to celebrate Xmas and our December birthdays. Thank you so much for having us!

Thanks for the hospitality. It was a little piece of heaven that we needed. Scerenity was amazing as well as the cute trail through the woods. Even got to see the fox. Hopefully next time we can see the owl ... we will be back.

We came across this cabin on the internet and are so happy we were able to see it in real life. Thanks for accommodating our dates and being so gracious and welcoming.
The surrounding country roads were great for biking. Appreciate the fact that after a busy day in Clear Lake we had a quiet place to ‘come home’ to.
Looking forward to returning.

Well ladies (Teddy too!). For yet another year you have given us a piece of heaven! Last year was tumultuous for us and all we could think about was coming to the Fiddlehead, loving the peace and serenity and clearing our minds. Talking and laughing with you both, flying 28’ kites, riding a unicycle and our biggest decision ... ‘What are we having for supper?’ Sitting on the deck watching wildlife and drifting. All this is thanks to you both! From the top and bottom of our hearts - we thank you!! Until next year ... God willing!

Thank you, Cathy & Linda for a wonderful week at the Fiddlehead Cabin. I thought I’d be staying in a cabin - little did I know I’d be living in a piece of carefully crafted artwork! Absolutely loved every bit!
I shall return - and I’m sure some of my friends will visit too!
Thank you.

We didn’t see the Great Grey Owl. But ... we did see:
Bedstraw in full bloom
Butterflies to many to count
Freshly hatched eggshells from the deck nest
Robin teaching it’s baby to fly
Stemless thistle with abloom the size of my palm
Many flowers, grasses, trees, insects and birds ... LIFE.
Thank you for letting us sit on the edge of the world.

Cathy & Linda,
What a beautiful place, with everything here that anyone could possibly need. So many special touches, the artwork, your amazing door and window frames, the mowed walking path, and even fresh flowers on the table! We’re taking a little piece of this back with us - a video of the hummingbird who was a regular visitor.
We thank you. We love this place!

At last! We finally were able to enjoy our stay at the Fiddlehead! It certainly did not disappoint! The beautiful views and rustic charm of the cabin made for the perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
Unplugging (except to stream the Jets game) was just what we needed. Walks along the trail and enjoying the sauna in the evening was wonderful!
Thanks for all the personal touches and the amazing stay!

Second time visiting! We came back to our favourite little cabin to celebrate out 5 year. We were able to use the snowshoes and explore the trails. The weather was so beautiful we were even able to enjoy morning coffees on the porch, while admiring the peaceful view.
We are so lucky to have found this gem of a place!

Our family has thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Night one was just my husband and I - the perfect getaway to recharge and reconnect! Night tow was spent with our kids, who loved it so much we are staying an ‘extra’ night tonight. As a backpacking family we have been thrilled with the beauty of the nature surrounding this property - and enamoured with this sweet cabin! We loved how we were welcomed and felt warmth from both of you when we arrived. Thanks for everything!
We will return and tell our family and friends that this place is precious!

Dear Cathy and Linda,
Our third winter stay here has been lovely as ever. With our baby expected in a month and a half, this was the perfect place to focus on the joys in our life and prepare for our new life transition.
With perfect winter weather, Derek took full advantage of the skiing while Stephanie had time for many meditations while sitting on the deck, taking in the glorious view. With sleep patterns altered a bit by pregnancy, we were up earlier than usual this year and had the reward of enjoying the magic of dawn and the sunrise through the cabin windows!
We leave today thankful for our time at Fiddlehead and filled with love, expectation, and joy.
We look forward to seeing you again soon (with our baby girl with us the next time!)
Take Care,
Stephanie Voyce and Derek Manaigre

Dear Cathy and Linda,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fiddlehead. Your attention to detail and colour made the space very welcoming. It almost felt like something out of Harry Potter!!
In our two days here we went on lots of adventures fro kayaking on Clear Lake to hiking beautiful trails with all the brilliant colours that fall has to offer. But something that happened to Omar and I that we cherish the most was the big grey owl that resides in the area. We first saw it on top of a telephone line yesterday morning. Then later in the evening at around dusk while sitting outside on the porch in the very comfy chairs - the owl flew out from the trees straight towards us. I thought it was going to land on the porch and join in our conversation but instead it landed on the roof completely silently and flew off. So stunning and so beautiful. What an honor to see such a majestic bird up close. We love this place! It was so peaceful and restful. Got to spend it with the love of my life:). I am so blessed. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space.

It's a pleasure to come to Crooked Mountain in any season, but with this being our first summer trip in a while it was particularly lovely to relax on the porch of the Fiddlehead while watching the hummingbirds, great grey owls, blue & grey jays, finches and deer. You've created such a comfortable and magical place here!

Thank you for having us back this year. This was our second stay at Fiddlehead and it's just as picturesque and peaceful as we remembered! Simon and I would put Stella to sleep, then sit on the porch and read and drink tea until the stars came out. We come here and always leave feeling a renewed sense of peace, connection and centred-ness.
We feel so well taken care of in your amazing cabin! Thank you for creating such a memorable place for our family!
Until next time!

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you so much for creating this beautiful place! It was the perfect place to relax after planning a wedding. This place truly felt like home and we can't wait to come back.
The sauna was so lovely! We made good use of it! The trail right outside our cabin was also a lovely surprise. Every detail of the cabin was so lovely - we were taking notes for our future place! We loved sitting on the porch in the comfiest chairs - we would just sip wine and chat until we were chilled by the night air. The cabin has a beautiful view! We even saw a grey owl one day! Thank you for making our honeymoon so special. The bottle of wine and fresh flowers on the table was so sweet!
Take care,
James and Caralee Robertson
P.S. Thanks for suggesting a visit to Poor Michael's- we loved it and went back many times throughout our stay here! I'm happy to say that we are going home with a bag full of books and some local art work!

After seeing this gorgeous cabin and the stunning views, my only regret is that we can't stay longer. This was the perfect place to get away from the city, relax and enjoy each other and nature. I can't think of a better way to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! The flowers and wine were such a nice touch, too. Thank you for the art, beauty and tranquility. We loved watching the hummingbirds.

This place is a birding paradise. We counted nine different species just from the deck alone! Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to enjoy them from. The attention to detail only added to the joy of watching the little hummingbird defend his territory or the tiny chipping sparrow dancing across the lawn in the early morning.
From the crazily comfortable chairs on the deck to the beautiful artistry all throughout the cabin - this place is amazing. I've stayed in 5 star hotels that weren't this clean! We will definitely be back even if it is a 10 hour drive! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

We have had a wonderful week walking familiar trails, visiting with old and new friends, and best of all relaxing in your beautiful cabin.

What a serene and charming place. My husband, daughter and I are leaving feeling well rested and renewed. Stella said" It smells like flowers out here!" as we sat on the porch our first night here. Watching her excitement at seeing her first hummingbird at the feeder and eating our suppers together each night with the view of the spruce trees and wildflowers through the window are memorize we can now hold dear.
So many thoughtful touches went into making us feel like cherished guests. I really appreciate how clean and well taken care of this cabin is. It was also nice having everything we truly needed - from plates and cups to paper towel. Everything else from smooth, silky sheets to the wildflower bouquet on the table made this feel like a "home away from home".
Thank you so much!

Our second visit to the Fiddlehead Cabin was great! We enjoyed the wildflowers in the meadow, the view from the veranda and drinking our wine on the veranda. Watching the flycatcher family and having hummingbirds visit frequently was also a treat. We did spot deer and witnessed one visit from the owl. We watched the thunderstorm on Monday - what a fantastic light show it was. It was a wonderful relaxing and enjoyable week and we look forward to another visit in the future. Thanks for everything. We feel very comfortable here.

Thank you for a lovely five say experience in your charming cabin and breathtaking property. Each day we took in reading(while seeing the beautiful views including frosted trees), walks (day and night), skiing and snowshoeing . This is a place to truly integrate oneself in the landscape. We were able to reflect on life and strengthen our connection as a couple. This week has been a gift ( one we wish to repeat, hopefully cross- seasonally).

What a perfect place to spend our first anniversary. Waking up to the most brilliant skies, walking on your trail, playing games, cooking together. It has been an incredible place to enjoy our friendship, reflect and slow down. Your homemade wine was delicious. All the artwork is beautiful and the little touches made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you so much for building and creating such a place.

Cathy & Linda,
Our deepest thanks... for creating such a sanctuary for our spirits - What an enchanting place to rest, restore and replenish ... we are so grateful for this beautiful cabin, the gorgeous landscape that immerses us - all the animals and birds - all know they are safe here. And so it is like water for our roots to share in the magic and power of it all ... the lovely hum of life! Your warm hospitality and hard work are so appreciated!
What a wonderful retreat-time this has been.

I had mentioned to Cathy that this view could bring on tears. Well today it did just that. All that beauty simply snuck up and snuggled in beside relaxation and reflection, so I shed a few.
Randy and I have had a most beautiful day exploring the Park with Ben. We were even lucky enough to see a bear! We were also happy to rush back here, already calling this "home", so we could settle in for another peaceful evening.
Everywhere we look we see the care and love you have put into this cottage. You have made such a special place to visit, and we leave ... fully refreshed.
Our hearts grow bigger with thanks,

Breath-taking in a word. Could not have asked for a more amazing weekend away to end off the summer. Our hike through your trail was bliss, the view from the deck was spectacular - day and night! But waking up to the natural light and sounds of nature was just what we needed!
We will for sure be back next year!
Thank you!

We see from this book that this is our fifth year! Half a decade! And each year gets better and better. A beautiful cabin, a gorgeous meadow and woodland, and two very special hosts.

Looking forward to next year!

Dear Cathy & Linda
We were smitten with the charming airs of the Fiddlehead: the gorgeous spruce speckled meadows, waist high wild flowers, a deer browsing with her fawn, the old rusty vintage autos along the nature trail, the warm wooden floors, cupboards, and window frames, the beads of rain trickling off the eaves, the brilliant welcome bouquet, and the cozy heater for those few 'see your breath' evenings.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of Crooked Mountain with us - this is an awesome place to honeymoon!
Sincerely,

A week of relaxing and exploring is what we do best! Thanks for letting us practise our inner country girl skills in your lovely setting. These sisters love their nature (from a safe distance) and were lucky enough to see three black bears, a coyote wolf, a coyote fox, a great grey owl, deer and garter snakes. Also a great blue heron, Sandhills crane and the most annoying ravens!
We expanded our knowledge of Manitoba wild flowers and put our new binoculars to good use! We had a good time, to say the least, we ate well, slept well, and most importantly forgot about work. We need to come back in the fall to see the colors and check out that sauna!
All the best,

Another beautiful experience & tranquil way to bring in another year. This cabin, this land and your hospitality and kindness all come together to set the tone for the year for us, as we try to take away a piece or two of the stillness of everyday life. Our highlights are many, but skiing from the front door into the woods is pretty tough to beat! (even though we never made it out before 2:00 PM any day – all the outdoor tramping about was wonderfully refreshing!)
Thanks Linda and Cathy for another fabulous trip — here’s to making it through the next few months with ankles intact!
Till next time…

Well, I am not even quite sure where to begin. I guess I’ll start by saying this weekend was just what the doctor ordered. We totally unplugged – that is to say, no computer, no cell phone, no e-mail. We ate and drank and read (and did other things!) in your beautiful cabin and beautiful surrounding. Everything in the cabin was obviously so well considered and envisioned – you can tell there has been an artist at work! It was lovely to wake up with the sun and go to bed when we felt tired – no schedule. We were very excited to see a farmer driving his cows down the road, moving them from pasture to pasture. They checked us out as they walked past but ambled happily on their way. It was great to finally get here. (Cathy knows the story!)

We had a great time spending our 2nd Anniversary at these beautiful cabins. The view is spectacular, stars were very visible and the décor and effort put into these cabins in immaculate. We enjoyed time spent in the park, visited Dauphin & took in all the scenery. Thankful for the lack of technology and getting back to nature.
We will definitely recommend Crooked Mountain to everyone & we may be back for next year as well.

The fall colours were fantastic! Walks here & in the park, bike rides, wine on the porch. It was a great home away from home. We’ll spread the word about your cabins. Thanks for everything.

Linda & Cathy,
What can we say that hasn’t already been said?
We can’t wait to come back next year (so we won’t be telling too many people).
We haven’t been so relaxed in a long time and don’t feel the need to rush out to the park as nature seems to come to our front door.
I feel bad that the fridge died & you had to replace it with a new one – but it doesn’t really take away from the mood you have created.
Thank you for the wine, the home away from home you were able to provide and for welcoming us.

In Italy this is a lucky day and I agree as my oldest son was born on a Friday the 13th. However, we are leaving today so it is not entirely fortuitous. You have created a beautifully crafted, harmonious, relaxing abode. I never could understand how people could hide themselves away in the woods for months to write until I came here. I feel I could come here and stay for long stretches. The quiet, the beauty inside and out, the mists in the morning, the sunsets. Thank you for the best part of our trip to Manitoba.

Thanks for the great time. We really enjoyed relaxing on the porch, just staring out into the meadow. At one point a small deer even walked up to within 15 yards of the porch and just paid us no mind. It was a really great experience. Great cabin with awesome décor. Sam even enjoyed churning the composting toilet!

Thanks Cathy and Linda,
We’ve had the most relaxing five days here at your lovely cabin. From the early morning wake-up by the woodpecker hammering on the side of the cabin to falling asleep to the calls of the birds. We’re really taking on board the natural rhythms of the area.
We’ve been lucky enough to see pelicans on otter lake, bears and elk in RMNP and deer everywhere we’ve looked.
We really appreciated your welcome and the help you offered us with the car.
Good luck for the future, you’ve got a lovely thing going on here and we wish you all the best.

Driving here from Winnipeg the city life then changing to trees and fields and beautiful fiddlehead cozy cabin. When we first stepped on the porch, with such pristine details and just the right amount of art it felt like we were at home. Wait… no better than home. From building snow creatures to taking a hike and saw half of a carcass. It was a great experience that I will never forget.
Thank you.

Our autumn days at Fiddlehead began with delight. At every turn we saw colour and joy in both Cathy's art and in the landscape.
We felt most welcome as we explored this amazing little cabin created with care and creativity.
Sunrises, sunsets, a rainbow, the quiet, brilliant stars and the distant calls of wildlife brought us a sense of renewal. We leave knowing this is a very special place and will remain so in our hearts. Our thanks to you, Cathy and Linda, for our fulfilling days and your friendship.

Catherine's partner was in a play this weekend, so I had the good fortune to come to Fiddlehead Cabin. This is my favourite place in Manitoba! The art in the cabin features my favourite colours, and I can imagine living in this space very happily.
The view from the futon is lovely in the morning, though in my befuddled morning mind the sun through the trees looked like forest fire and I woke Catherine! We also enjoyed some early morning cow vocalizations from the front porch.

When I was a little girl, I overheard my mother say to my aunt "sometimes Wendy has to go into a corner and tuck it in around herself." That's still true, half a century later.
So here I am, tucked in, at Crooked Mountain, where the vibrant living force of nature has embraced and consoled me, and the creative, positive energy that went into building this exquisite cabin have cut through the ropes that tied me to my pain.
There is a balm at Crooked Mountain that can heal an injured spirit.
It is a privilege to be here.
Thank you, Cathy & Linda, thank you.

Well, we spent our first night in your beautiful little cabin and are still in awe of what you have created. I plan to write a little in here everyday. I really enjoyed the sounds as we fell asleep, and waking up to them was reminiscant of hiking with dad.
...
Well yesterday was again an amazingly gorgeous day. A bit chilly in the morning, but as it has been all week it passed. We played more crib in the morning. Chelsea skunked me three times and did a good job reminding me of that throughout the day (lol). We golfed the beautiful course at Clear Lake. The scenery there is very picturesque and the scores were low so that was nice. Thank you for letting us tour the other cabins. They are equally as gorgeous as our Fiddlehead. We are already planning to bring Madison and Leif here seometime next year.
...
We spent pretty much all day at the beach yesterday and could have used a bit more suntan lotion 'cause we look like a couple of lobsters, lol. Great day for it though. We went kayaking, played frisbee in the water, and tried the boogie board I got in Brandon, but it was not easy so I gave it away to some kids that I'm sure had more fun with it. We had a very good supper at T.R. McCoys and finished the evening with a cruise on the Martese. Another fabulous day.
...
So ten days married and Chelsea tried to kill me with a golf ball. I was sitting in the cart no more than ten feet away beside her, and it went right off the toe of her club straight into the side of my head. We finished the round though, so I think I'm fine (lol). It was another great day. We also caught a movie in the nice log theatre. What a week so far!
...
Well this is the last entry I'll take in the book. We leave today and are thankful that the rain held off till now. What a perfect week we had here. You guys have done an amazing job creating a peaceful, relaxing getaway. For our last full day here, yesterday, we stayed around the cabin playing cribbage & croquet most of the day. We also played and quickly got addicted to lawn bowling in town. Brian Milne says hi, he played a few games with us. We might go golfing at the Clear Lake course again today on our way out, then back to home we go. Although we both wish we could just bring the kids back and call this home. We look forward to bringing them here for a time next year, and I hope we again are lucky enough to pick the most gorgeous week of the year. Thank you so much for everything, we won't ever forget this.

The experience this cabin provides is absolutely magical. Every detail was taken into consideration. The trail walk in the morning was invigorating and beautiful. The night sounds are amazing, and when we heard that cat, it really reminds you just how far from civilization you really are! not to mention the telltale signs of the wildlife's close proximity discovered by just walking through your woods.
Thank you for the much needed retreat and can't wait to book for next year!

We loved ‘Alfalfa’ - surrounded by art and the beauty of nature. Especially appreciated hearing the bird song! This place helped us forget, for just a little while, the climate crisis that threatens all we love.
Gratitude for your vision and for your generosity of spirit!

Dear Cathy and Linda,
I feel I’ve found another home in this place. Watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky and wandering the trail in the stillness of the morning is something I wish I could do every day. Three nights is not enough and I’m already planning my next visit. I will miss this lovely little cabin, the Parkland and the peace and quiet until I can return.
Thank you so much.

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you for a lovely stay. We were here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary♥, and had a tranquil and relaxing stay. The grey owl and hawk paid us a visit. We heard wolves howling and saw the Northern Lights put on an amazing display Friday night. But best of all was the quiet and sound of the wind on the trees. It was so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit.

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you so much for our time here. Every year we love it and every year you make it so easy to come back. We love it out here, and this year we were even able to show Lee. The scenery is always gorgeous and so are the other cabins. It was so wonderful to get away again.

Dear Cathy and Linda,
Another year, another wonderful interlude. Beautiful meadow, exciting views of a great grey owl, lovely sounds of the sand hill cranes, peaceful if sometimes chilly mornings. We expect to be back again next year. How many years has it been now?
Thank you for all you’ve created here, and thank you for all you do each time we come.

I am going to the city with the knowledge that I have found my third “home-away-from-home” (the other two being near Kenora and in the south of France). What a lovely spot this is! I love everything about it- the cozy and clean space, the quietude, the path through the meadow, the proximity to all the great hiking trails in Riding Mountain. I will be back!

P.S. just finished reading comments from other guests and want to add my voice to theirs by saying a big "thank you" – for the cut flowers and other personal touches; thank–you for the cleanliness; thank–you for thinking everything through so thoroughly.

I can't even say how much we enjoyed the stay out here, relaxing and escaping from the city for a while. Cathy & Linda are the most welcoming and amazing hosts. I will miss the deck with its great view. We had some amazing times and definitely came out of this much more relaxed and closer together as people. An experience I won't forget!!
It was also great touring your art space and we can't wait to come back:)
Love Mike & Jensen
Alfalfa Cabin
We very much enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It offered many comforts of home and the amenities are plenty. We were thrilled to find a comfortable and clean little place. The fact that everything is so well thought out and organized (trails, separate building for trash and recycling, etc.) is evidence that Cathy is passionate for what she does - and that is providing a purely therapeutic environment for her guests. This is the perfect place to challenge yourself to get back to basics.
Cheers,

It was delightful to experience the Alfalfa Cabin these three days. We love the artistic craftsmanship of the cabin, and the enchanting walk through the field and forest trail. As we entered the treed area, the resident owl peered down at us and blinked as if bored with our presence. This great bird must be used to humans!
Thanks for the fishing tips and directions to the Park.
In our 34 yrs together as a couple, we consider this to be our first honeymoon:)

The sound of silence
The depth of darkest night
The black velvet sparkled sky
The bounding hardens untrammelled joy
Dawn's splendid promise

Dusk's comforting calm...
All of these proclaim
That all's well with the world,
At least in this blessed corner

It seems like we've just arrived and it's already time to head back home. As always, we loved our stay. We love being able to pop into the Park to spend the day, but then to escape the business and relax in the peace we find here.
Zachary loved running 'out there' on the path and hopping, with his dump truck down the road. It's great to have a quiet place for a busy almost three year old to run wild.
Thanks again for a lovely family vacation.

Dear Linda and Cathy,
Happy 30th Anniversary. How lucky we are to have found you at a time such as this and to be able to celebrate it with you. Your hospitality extends beyond Rosebud, the trails (and the wee tornado that downed 100 plus trees in the back) and into your home and lives. What a pleasure it has been - to eat and sleep in absolute quiet - to wake up to the sun rising and the dew glistening on the meadow and of course these wild and happy birds. We roller skied, hiked, paddle boarded and in general did all sorts of fitness things. This is a perfect spot for all that.
We are ready to book again......an oasis of peace -
Thank you

Thank you so much for an amazing family experience. It's just what we needed. To connect with one another without T.V.'s, iPhones, iPads. We had good old fashioned family bonding. Hiking, talking, laughing, games, getting to know each other again, as the kids are pre-teen's, teens.. I'm so thankful for the last minute opening you had. It's a beautiful place, so clean and perfectly organized. We will for sure be back. I have told many friends already and they will be checking it out as well.

It's been an amazing weekend for Lorenze and me - I'm so very grateful you opened up early this season:). The both of us have honestly never been to a lovelier, cozier, nor better equipped little hideaway than your cabin!
I'm amazed at the detail and well thought through furniture and decor. If we ever get a chance to come back, we most certainly will.
Riding Mountain National Park is great- but your place is even better, way more intimate and so charming.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful oasis of calm in such a gorgeous location. Spent a lovely few days here soaking up the sounds of the forest – even saw a moose – very exciting for us city folk. A wonderful escape from the big smoke of Toronto. Thank you.

We were privileged to be able to enjoy the comfort and beauty of this place at a time when we needed some peace and serenity. The deer and the black bear we saw just down the road and the great grey owl who came to visit the last night really added to the experience!
Thank you for everything.

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you so much for your beautiful, peaceful touch of paradise! We enjoyed the warm welcome, fresh flowers, cozy design and well equipped kitchen. The kids loved the outhouse, trails, and the ability to be outside without traffic! The screen room was great any time of the day and was a fantastic place to gather, play games, read or enjoy a morning coffee. We (especially the kids and grandma) were not ready to leave... way too short!!
Thanks again!

Thanks for the warm hospitality! We loved the evening visits from the owl. The boys enjoyed the bugs and the rock picking. The adults enjoyed the quiet evenings. Meadowsweet is indeed a very sweet cabin. We all appreciated the flowers on the table and the many towels to mop up after messy little boys.

Cathy and Linda,
What a gorgeous cabin and property to call "home" for a few days! The sounds of nature were both soothing (wind through the aspens) and exciting (wolves howling at night!). This was a totally different, laid-back experience to a get-away in a town (where you hear more boats than birds)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful presentation, we will be back!
Cheers

P.S. We DID see a bear on 262. Thanks for the lovely cabin, meadow and artistic details

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the prairies with us. This was the perfect picturesque location for us to unwind and enjoy time together. We loved the wild flowers, the birds and the wildlife. The big open sky was painted in brilliant sunrises and sunsets and we all took the luxury to slow down for a few days and drift away from our everyday responsibilities to enjoy the simple but most powerful joys of life.
Thank You again!

Dear Cathy and Linda,
We had a great time exploring the Riding Mountain Area and felt like we were "coming home" at the end of each adventure. We saw deer, bears and bison. We rode bikes and a boat. We went hiking and spent time at the beach and Steve shot less than 90. All of this in 3 days. We look forward to our next visit.
Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your stories and your art.
See you again soon.

Thank you again for a lovely stay. We loved the peace and quiet and the meadow was beautiful this time of year. We loved all the wild flowers. Zachary had a blast. He loved the trail and became an expert rider on his scooter as he rolled himself down the hill from our cottage and along the lane/road. (He loves it here-as do we.) The cottage is beautiful and the screened-in deck makes it easy to enjoy a longer evening- and to say hello to the deer. We are looking forward to next year. Loved our neighbour's violin playing.

Cathy and Linda,
Thank you so much for the amazing experience! The cabin was perfect and exactly what we were looking for – a serene, non-commercial stay! The R&R here was just what we needed. There are few places we could watch a deer wander from our screened porch – thankfully we didn't scare her off with our small shrieks of excitement!.
We look forward to spreading the word to family & friends about Crooked Mountain Cabins and also look forward to our return!

For the past few nights we have been able to sit on the porch and hear not one siren or car honking, the crickets are what we have been falling asleep to. For the past few days we have been thankful for the surroundings of an enchanted forest that seems welcoming even to the most worrysome person. This place is pristine.
