Wilderness Lodge & Cabins

Alberta – Canada

Welcome to

Alberta's Hidden Wilderness Gem

Dreamlike four-season wilderness cabins and a luxury lodge nestled amongst the mountains at Rock Lake, where elk graze right outside your front door and the morning call of loons carries across the water. Set between the peaks of Jasper National Park and the wild Willmore Wilderness, this is a true home base for families, retreats, and weddings. A place to slow down, unplug, and remember what untouched raw wilderness feels like.

Hidden in the Northern Rockies

Rock Lake rests at the gateway to the Willmore Wilderness, thousands of square kilometres of peaks and river valleys without a single road through them. Elk and deer graze the meadows, loons trade calls across the water, and trout rise in the jade shallows. Step off the porch and it is simply all there, waiting.

Three ways to stay

Nestled in the heart of Alberta's Northern Rockies, our peaceful four-season cabins and grand timber lodge blend comfort and nature in equal measure. Choose a cabin for two to four, take the lodge for the whole crew, or reserve the entire valley and let it belong to your people alone.

Adventure in every direction

Unleash your spirit of exploration

The lake is the backyard. Canoes and paddleboards are included with every stay, hiking trails leave from the door, and the fishing starts at the shore. Watch elk wander past the window at dawn, ride horseback through the foothills, or lift off over the Rockies by helicopter. When the sun goes down, one of the darkest skies in Alberta takes over, no glow on the horizon, just the Milky Way and however long you want to stand outside looking up. Adventure here is not an excursion. It is simply what the day, and the night, offer.

What we do, we do best

Make your event unforgettable

Weddings and family reunions are the heart of this place. Onsite coordination, tailored catering, luxury décor, and officiants who know the valley, all set against mountains that need no decorating.

From recent guests

“Such a stunning location for your weekend getaway. All your stresses melt away as soon as you breathe in that fresh mountain air. The hosts go out of their way to ensure your stay is beyond this world. It's our second home and should be yours too.”
Adriane Koch · Google · Dec 2024
“If you want the best sleep of your life, stay here. Our kids had the time of their lives exploring outside all day. We stayed for a wedding, and although the lodge is remote, they had everything needed to make the event go down without a hitch. The owners welcome you like family.”

The second show starts at dusk

We sit on the edge of one of the world's largest dark-sky preserves. No streetlights, no glow on the horizon, just the Milky Way doing what it has always done. Soak in a wood-fired hot tub and look up.

Your hosts

We got married here, too

We are Cheanise and Brody Bestluck. We said our vows in this valley on New Year's Eve, and we have been keeping its fires lit ever since. This is our home, and while you are here, we hope it feels like yours too.

It is an honour to care for and share this remarkable place. We keep the property intimate, the skies dark, and the wilderness wild, so that everything you come here to experience remains for generations to come.

You will often find us nearby, ready to point you toward a favourite trail, share a few of the best fishing spots, or show you where to watch the elk cross the valley.
