About this property

Off-Grid Secluded Log Cabin. Explore Nature, Hiking, Wildlife & Stargazing Await

  • LYNX LAIR LOG CABIN

    Peace & Quiet. By Design!

    Welcome to Lynx Lair, one of just three handcrafted log cabins at Rocky Mountain Escape, set on 68 acres of private wilderness in the heart of Rock Lake Provincial Park.

    If you're looking to escape busy campgrounds, crowded tourist areas and constant notifications, you've found it.

    Our cabins are thoughtfully spaced apart to give every guest privacy, peace and the chance to truly reconnect with nature.

    A True Off-Grid Experience: Getting here is part of the Adventurre, 4wd/Awd recommended.

    This isn't camping... and it isn't a hotel.

    It's the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness.

    Lynx Lair offers all the comforts you need while allowing you to completely disconnect from everyday life.

    Inside you'll find:

    • Queen-size bed with luxury bedding
    • Double fold-down futon (sleeps up to 4 guests)
    • Private bathroom with full bath and hot shower
    • Indoor plumbing
    • Kitchenette with refrigerator, sink and propane burner for hot drinks
    • All towels, bedding, crockery, cookware and utensils provided
    • Complimentary tea, locally roasted coffee, cooking oil, salt and pepper

    Outside you'll enjoy:

    • Private covered deck overlooking the forest
    • Propane griddle for outdoor cooking
    • Fire pit with complimentary firewood
    • Adirondack chairs perfect for relaxing after a day exploring

    Unplug. Slow Down.

    There is no cell service, no Wi-Fi and no television.

    For many guests, that's the highlight of their stay.

    Swap emails for campfires.

    Trade screens for stars.

    Wake up to birdsong instead of alarm clocks.

    Sit quietly on your deck and watch wildlife wander past.

    It's amazing how quickly life slows down.

Unexpectedly Amazing

We knew that this place would be secluded and offer peace outside of the busy national parks. What we didn’t expect was the private hiking trails, amazing hosts, and enchanted feeling of the surrounding forests. It is far from town, but worth the extra drive if you don’t want to be surrounded by other tourists.

A canny stay…and then some!

We had three wonderful days at this truly remote and off-grid location - just what we were looking for. The road to the cabins is an adventure (and we saw a black bear) but worth every minute when you get there. Our cabin, no.1, was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, and lovely little extras. Hosts Julia and Gary could not have been more welcoming and hospitable and made our stay a home from home. They truly have their hearts in their escape cabins and deserve every success we are sure will come their way! What a lovely couple. We did several trails (don’t miss the Rock Lake trail), and there are great trails from the cabins themselves (be sure to visit George Malcolm!!!! 😁). Without a doubt, a 5-star experience.

Log Cabin Experience

We had a wonderfully relaxing time in the log cabin. It was a haven of peacefulness that allowed us to absorb the surrounding clean air and spectacular scenery. The amenities of the cabin were top class and provided everything we needed. Julia and Gary were marvellous hosts and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this location.

Amazing

Gary and Julia are very kind and great hosts. My husband and I loved so much the cabin and our time there. The cabin is very clean and cozy. We appreciated being out of the city and not having phone signal. We highly recommend and make sure you book minimum 4 days because we stayed for 2 nights and it wasn't enough for us. Thank you very much Julia and Gary. See you next time!!!

A hidden gem!

If you’re looking for a true wilderness experience with all the comforts of home, then look no further! The Walkers are so friendly and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Explore the nearby creek flowing through the property, take a short drive to beautiful Rock Lake and or set out on one of the numerous hiking trails, you’ll have plenty to enjoy. Or simply take it all in with a glass of wine and sit by the fire surrounded by mountains. Almost too good too be true!

A Little Piece of Rocky Mountain Heaven

We enjoyed our 2 night stay immensely! The cleanliness and attention to detail was amazing! Gary and Julia have thought of everything here! Bring your clothes and food and you are set! I enjoyed cooking on a griddle and am seriously considering getting one! In any direction you walk, take your camera..the views are so pretty! We even kind of enjoyed the snow in June! We highly recommend this property...take a break from all your devices and even the clock and go up to RMEC to recharge yourself!!

Slice of Heaven

We could not have been happier with our stay, and we were honestly disappointed to have to leave. The journey was part of the fun as you venture to the property you really get a sense of just how deep in the wilderness you were getting. The drive was quite easy, the instructions provided by The Walkers were spot on and Google maps also worked quite well (follow it all the way until you see the wooden Rocky Mountain Escapes sign, then turn to that instead). Gary gave us a perfect tour of the property including some amazing insight to hikes in the area. We ended up doing a 9.5km down the river towards a nearby mountain and it was stunning. The cabin was extremely comfortable, stunningly clean, and equipped with more amenities than we expected, very good hot water. Everything with the stay was absolutely lovely and we can't wait to come back.

Tranquility In The Woods

We loved our time here. Beautiful wood cabin in the woods that offers you a chance to completely unplug and decompress. We arrived on the later side and let Gary and Julia know. They were there to greet us and help us familiarize ourselves with the cabin. Gary had a fire going and ready for us! It is a lovely space with everything you need to enjoy your time there. Well stocked kitchen. We particularly enjoyed cooking on the griddle outside and enjoying the scenery while doing so. Our host left a bottle of wine, some chips and a welcome letter. We wanted to go fishing and Gary was happy to help us set this up online. Gary and Julia went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We did not want to leave! I would suggest traveling during the day if possible as with all great off the grid places it is more challenging to travel to at night. We treasured our time here and did not want to leave! We hope to return soon!

Schönes Häuschen aber sehr abgelegen

Die Hütte selbst ist sehr schön, ist aber so aufgestellt dass sie leider keinen Ausblick hat. Die Anreise von Jasper aus ist ein mehrstündiges Abenteuer. Von Hinton aus geht es erst einmal 40 km auf einer asphaltierten Straße, dann 26 km auf einer nicht asphaltierten Piste, die man mit einem normalen PKW mit gewissen Risiken bei guten Wetterbedingungen erfolgreich in einer Stunde zurücklegen kann und dann muss man noch einen sehr schlechte Erdstraße 2 km bis zum Haus kommen, kein Mobilfunkempfang, kein WLAN, nur 16 Volt Solarstrom für Licht. Kochen nur außerhalb möglich auf einem Criddle, super, aber wenn es regnet, nicht möglich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön für Naturliebhaber, aber weniger geeignet für Kanada Touristen, die den Jasper Nationalpark erkunden wollen und nicht mehrere Tage speziell in dieser Gegend sein wollen. Für alle, die dort die Gegend der Kunden wollen, sicher eine schöne Bleibe.

A truly escape in the Rocky Mountains

Een perfecte plek om het gehaaste leven even achter te laten. Zeer mooie plek, goed onderhouden. Een aanrader voor iedereen die iets anders wil dan de ge-ijkte plekjes waar je een van de velen bent. Zeer rustig, midden in de natuur.
