What an amazing place! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Crooked Mountain Cabins and have already pledged to return. The colours and sounds of the landscape are a beautiful backdrop for a relaxing weekend away from the city, and this incredible cabin with its cozy sun porch was a welcome home away from home. We cam here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and I think it may become a tradition.
Thank you!

Here we are again, same place, same time, another year later. We think it must be ten years by now, and every year feels just as special as the previous one. We look forward every year to each and every part of our two weeks at your beautiful property. We’ve already started thinking about next year.
Thank you for everything you do!

Feeling blessed that we found this beautiful place. We spent a great week connecting with family and nature. Wildlife greeted us in many areas around here & Riding Mountain-
Sand hill cranes
Bears galore
Moose, deer, magpies
Coyote, bison at Lake Audi
We canoed and hiked at Lake Catherine and hiked Blad Hill - amazing views!
We so appreciated everything at the cabin, the lovely meadow view and walk. Special memories here!
Merci beaucoup!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. 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:)

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. Everything is so well thought out, organized and provides a purely therapeutic environment for guests. This is the perfect place to challenge yourself to get back to basics.

My husband and I are celebrating 32 years together and what a wonderful place to be! I love the peace and quiet! The birds singing in the morning- the screened in porch - no TV, no distractions. What a nice little cozy cabin to enjoy!
Clear Lake golf course is so beautiful- especially the 17th hole - wow!

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
Noonday's unexpected warmth
Dusk's comforting calm...
All of these proclaim
That all's well with the world,
At least in this blessed corner
And that is why we ought and do give thanks!

What a peaceful and calm place! Coming from Winnipeg (noisy!!). We loved this place and the cabin at the first glance.
We could watch dramatic sunsets, colourful sunsets, night skies with millions of stars and an impressive thunderstorm. Nature is a real miracle!
Thank you so much for your warm-hearted welcome and your help - this week is 100% the best experience we've had on our entire trip.

You have done such a wonderful job of giving us the best of two worlds - the joy of the wilderness with complete comfort. Though our stay had uncooperative weather - cold and cloudy, we loved the cozy cabin, our own good food after many days on the road, and the great tramp through your woods.

Thank you so much for creating such a peaceful oasis. The screen porch was a wonderful place to sit and relax when the mosquitos were so plentiful.
Hopefully we will be able to return to Crooked Mountain Cabins for another time for bird watching and tranquility. It would be great to come back in a couple of years and see the blue clematis covering the end of the cabin. Again, many many thanks.

We loved the convenience of the cabins, the calm of the beautiful position and its vantage across the meadows all filled with bright wildflower colour. It was a great visit for us. Wish we could take the porch back to England.

We are halfway through our second stay at the Rosebud cabin- we fell in love with it last September and hope to spend many peaceful and happy times here in the future. We loved the screened-in porch and fuzzy blankets and of course the beautiful meadow...where we got engaged on Friday!! This place will always have a special place in my heart. We have been celebrating since Friday with champagne and a bike ride around clear lake.
We will see you next time!

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.

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!

Thank you for the tranquil break in the natural beauty of Crooked Mountain Cabins. The wild flowers were spectacular. We saw grey Jay's, some deer, and a huge flock of Pelicans that flew over the cabin this evening- with both silence and grace-- a sight to behold! This place is indeed a treasure and we hope to return next summer and stay for a week. Warm regards!

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 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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
