The weather may stink, but Albertans know better than to take a whiff. Instead, we hike up a pair of fuzzy socks, brew a cup of something hot and lean into the season. There are, however, a couple of you who prefer to take it one step further in the only way we prairie dogs know how to. By staying in a cozy A-frame cabin!
This chilly season, for those who are married to the aesthetic, we’d recommend a picture-perfect getaway – not to the mountains, but to the beloved town of Sylvan Lake.

Located about an hour and a half from Calgary and Edmonton – Sylvan Lake is known for its lake life and in the off-seaso is actually pretty quiet.
With room for 6 people, this adorable stay is minutes from pubs and parks, fitted with a firepit for those chillier days, and has recently been renovated inside and out.


Here, guests can read a book by the window, play board games, listen to a few records, lounge by the fireplace or bundle up and explore the town for only $175 a night – which is honestly a steal if you ask us.
While it’s not a luxury villa, this unique stay is warm, inviting, and perfect for a romantic weekend out of town, or a low-key family get-together.

Heck, for that price, why not treat yourself to a one-person vacay? You deserve it.
