Waterton Lakes National Park is one of the most picturesque places in our province. It’s beloved by artists, photographers and musicians alike for its peaceful landscapes, stunning natural beauty, and abundant wildlife.

If you’re looking to experience this national park for yourself, Dungarvan Creek offers vacation rentals on a 39-acre property with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and a wildlife pond.

It’s owned by Eileen and Bruce, two proud Albertans who invite you to “experience nature on your doorstep” at their acreage, which offers the closest vacation rentals available near Waterton.

Moose, grizzlies, elk and waterfowl are some of the wildlife you can expect to see living their best life surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Here’s what else to know.

What to expect

Guests rave about Dungarvan Creek’s gracious hosts who feel more like old family friends than any hotel staff ever could. Two cabins sleep up to four people, with fully equipped kitchens, dining and sitting areas, and a shower room. Outside, there are picnic tables where you can bring your own small portable BBQ.

Even in the dead of winter, there’s lots to do, see and explore near Waterton. You can opt to go snowshoeing around the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, or take a sunrise skate on a frozen outdoor pond. The town of Waterton gets especially festive around Christmastime, and the beautiful mountainscape is just as awe-inspiring when it’s blanketed in fresh snow.

A two-night minimum stay is required, but it’s a great opportunity to hole up for the weekend in a cozy cabin and watch the snow fall gently over the surrounding mountains and wetlands.

Wi-Fi is available in the main house, so you can also get some work or creative projects done while enjoying the mountain vistas, if you so choose.

Dungarvan Creek vacation rentals have affordable low-season and high-season pricing. At $163.50 per night from mid-September to mid-June, it’s a lot cheaper than the $500+ per night options you’ll see around Jasper and Banff.

You can enjoy the seasonal change and everything else the Rockies have to offer at this haven filled with natural flora and fauna.

Come see what it’s all about this season, or ring in the new year by treating yourself to a stay at Dungarvan Creek. With exceptional Alberta hospitality, amazing views and comfortable cabin accents, it’s the ultimate winter getaway.
