    The cabin is surrounded by large trees and is very private and peaceful. The cabin is beautifully presented and well appointed with everything you need. The outdoor bath is a real special treat under the stars. We will be staying again.

Come and experience the stunning Mackenzie High Country and treat yourself with a relaxing stay at our cosy , high-quality cottage. It is designed to bring the feel of the surrounding landscape right inside - with natural colours and materials. Enjoy and soak up the stunning night sky from inside our brand new outside bath or admire the millions of sparkly stars through a large ceiling window in the master bedroom at night.
We are an outdoors oriented family who enjoy skiing in winter and exploring, hiking and camping in summer. My partner Sean, who is a self employed builder, and myself designed and built our cottage together in 2019. We have a passion for natural materials, sustainability and quality workmanship and wanted to create a space that is relaxing and and a bit special.
Staying in our accommodation on North West Arch allows you to enjoy a bit more space and privacy than being right in the town centre as most properties on our street are larger and often covered in trees. There is very little traffic on the road and rarely any barking dogs - so come and enjoy the piece and quiet our cottage offers.
