About this property

Pet-Friendly Off-grid Log Cabin, Hiking, Mountain Air and Dark Skies Await!

  • EAGLES NEST LOG CABIN

    Peace & Quiet. By Design!

    Welcome to Bears Den, 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

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

    It's the perfect balance between comfort and wilderness.

    Bears Den 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

    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.

Best Experience in Canada

Thank you so much Julia and Gary for being incredible lovely hosts. Your Cabins are very beautiful, spacious, clean and homely. No wlan, no power, just the nature. Right in the wilderness with a lot of animals, rustic forest and a great lake. It was magic. We will come back!

We were greeted by the amazing hosts as soon as we steeped out of the car, we felt very welcomed. Gary brought the cart to bring our belongings to the cabin and he was even bringing our belongings in the cabine while Julia was providing us with the explanation about the registry booklet for when we would use the trails, that way they would know everyone came back to their cabin. The cabin was nice and warm as they had a nice fire burning in the fireplace upon arrival. There was a nice little welcome gift for the us the humans and there some treats for the dogs and doggy bags to clean after the furry friends. The cabine was fully furnished with the dishes and cookware, games and they even have map of the trails accessible at the front step on the cabins. I’ll sure go back and I highly recommend this truly beautiful gem, you’ll have a great time!

Perfect Escape to Nature

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this off-grid cabin, and it was everything we needed for a peaceful, restorative retreat. Nestled in the woods, the cabin offers the perfect combination of seclusion, serenity, and nature. The cabin itself is charming, rustic, and incredibly well-maintained. Even though it's off-grid, the amenities were thoughtfully provided to make the stay comfortable—cozy wood-burning stove, comfortable bedding, and enough solar power to meet basic needs without compromising the natural experience. The simplicity of the setup was actually a huge part of its charm! One of the highlights for us was the peaceful mornings—waking up to the sound of birds, stepping outside to fresh, crisp air, and enjoying coffee. It's the perfect place to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature. The surrounding area is a nature lover's dream—there are trails for hiking, a nearby stream, and plenty of wildlife to spot. The remoteness of the location made it feel like a true escape. If you're looking for a remote getaway to unplug, unwind, and enjoy nature, Rocky Mountain Escape is the ideal spot. We can't wait to return!

An unforgettable Log Cabin experience!!

This outstanding log cabin is the perfect choice if you're searching for a peaceful retreat surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and wildlife. My boyfriend and I recently spent a weekend in this wonderful hideaway, and the experience well exceeded our expectations, leaving us with priceless memories that we will cherish forever. The cabin's design creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a true home away from home. It's in an excellent location close to hiking trails and offers numerous options for discovery and adventure. Julia and Gary deserve a special praise for their amazing hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied from the start of our reservation to the end of our stay. I definitely recommend this log cabin if you're searching for an unforgettable Mountain Escape. This location offers everything you might want, whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or a single experience. Take the time to enjoy the calmness of the surroundings, bask in the beauty of nature, and make lifelong memories. I'd like to thank the hosts again for a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back to this beautiful mountain retreat!

Disappointing Experience with Hosts

Overall, our experience was unsatisfactory. The hosts micromanaged our stay. First, there was a miscommunication regarding our dogs. As first-time Vrbo users, we selected what we believed to be a pet-friendly property. We had no intention of hiding our pets. However, the host confronted us at 10:30 p.m. after we had been out for 14 hours, accusing us of being deceptive about our dogs. We profusely apologized, offered to pay additional fees, and thought the issue was resolved. We left the property in pristine condition. Despite the host assuring us it was no big deal, they later left a Vrbo review expressing disappointment about us as guests. This two-faced behavior is disheartening. We also suspect the hosts entered our cabin without informing us, as we returned to find a light on when we had left with everything off and locked. Parking in front of the cabin is not allowed to "keep the road quiet." This was challenging as my wife is six months pregnant. We needed to drive up to the cabin to load and unload our belongings, but the hosts gave us a hard time, making the property inaccessible for those with physical limitations. Lastly, while the cabin is as advertised – remote – it’s not ideal if you plan to do activities in Jasper (2.5ish hours away) or need easy access to stores. Overall, I'd leave a 1-star rating due to the hosts' attitude regarding our quiet, clean, well-behaved, and paid-for dogs. However, the property itself was clean and cute.
