    There’s not a huge amount of things to see/do nearby although hecklman falls was very pretty. It’s a working ranch so to stay here you need to keep a very open minded about local wildlife / bugs etc.

    If you want something with a ‘rustic’ feel this would suit perfectly. The food they arranged for the evening was exceptional. Extremely peaceful surroundings. Owner served a good breakfast and had some friendly conversation

    Our shower didn't work, but were then offered an upgrade to a bigger cabin which we appreciated

    Very peaceful surrounds. Bed very comfortable. Loved the dogs, and breakfast was delicious and good value. Also appreciated being able to order dinner on our first night.

    very tired around the edges, light bulbs not working in room. not enough cutlery and no plates so difficult to make your own food. room stated has sofa in it as well on booking - it did not . ordered evening emal which was very tasty ( if expensive ) but lukewarm as delivered by neighbour and no microwave to re heat . a disappointing stay

    good location although let down by poor upkeep to gardens , entrance and parking area

    Beautiful location. welcoming host. just be aware of the amount of mosquitos

    this has nothing to do with the property but due to its location, the mosquito's were unbearable. And it is only, for this reason, I would not choose to stay somewhere like here again.

    the location and remoteness of the ranch is its biggest appeal. the area is very beautiful and not too far from town.

    Room floor was slightly off plumb, which was distracting. Mosquito hunting took up some time in the evening, possibly though holes in screens (or us opening it too many times at the wrong time).

    Peaceful, welcoming, rustic in the best ways. Good to know it was a working farm in advance, which also ensured positive first impressions.

    We thought we were booking a cabin separate from others but three are connected within one building so that was a surprise. The deck could use some updating as it doesn't fit with the renovated cabin room, which was nicely outfitted.

    Beautiful area, relaxing and peaceful. Loved hearing the sandhill cranes. Very comfortable cabin.

    There was a squirrel in the roof that was quite noisy and kept our daughter in law awake. Also check out time should be 11:00. Not 9:00. Especially for a honeymoon couple! A little bit of special treatment would have been nice also. A little gift basket? Fruit tray? Nothing elaborate.

    The surroundings were great! The cow was fun! Atmosphere was very peaceful. Wonderful views. The hosts are lovely!

    It was such a beautiful location. Easy to find and so peaceful! Our room had obviously been really beautifully refurbished but still in keeping with the rustic and cosy theme. It was perfect. We had dinner and breakfast and it was excellent. Really nicely presented- a bit on the pricy side but not when you consider the amount of effort that went into it. I was veggie and they accommodated for this and I had a really lovely mushroom dish. It was nice to have home cooking! The bed was insanely comfy. Heard some wolves howling in the night which was super cool. The dogs on the ranch were also so lovely. We are 100% coming back next time we are in Canada

    I strongly recommend the owners to get some kind of electricity—they claimed they had nothing we could plug our car into

    Before we arrived we realized that we would need to be able to plug our EV in to a regular 110v outlet overnight or we would not be able to make it to Jasper the next day because the property requires a significant detour off the main highway, and we hadn’t realized that until we reached Barriere. I called ahead and the person that answered told us that they have no plug-ins that we could use. I don’t believe that is true, but he refused to budge, which meant we could not proceed to stay there, and they were unwilling to refund any portion of our payment. As a result we had to stay at the Best Western Plus in Clearwater. The good news was that the Best Western Plus was not only was right on the highway but also provided an EV charger—I highly recommend staying there, not at Nakiska Ranch.

    Host not very welcoming when we arrived early. Whilst we appreciate that a district wide power outage was beyond his control, we weren’t offered anywhere to sit or perhaps a cold drink… basically told to go away and come back. Room was not clean.. hair in fridge and shower basin and valance around bed badly stained. Also property looks far more run down and not as picture on booking.com

    Unfortunately just breakfast. This was served in your room.

    Sadly the property is quite run down, and needs some tlc. However the advert needs not to not allow you to book a double and a sofa bed when these are not available.

    We arrived at the property to find that the room we booked was a double only there was no sofa bed. We needed to bed and they were unable to offer what we had booked. The owner gave us a refund and we went to find alternative accommodation
