Will definitely stay again." - "We had a great springtime stay for a family golf trip. It's a short drive away from some top quality courses in Sudre.

Extremely quiet and secluded, this beautiful space has been created for couples who want to celebrate all the important milestones of their lives together or simply to disconnect from the outside world and rekindle your special connection with nature and each other! Luxury "Glamping" at its finest!!
With 428 sq ft of inside living space, you can kick back and start to unwind from the comfort of your two leather recliners while gazing up at unique antler chandelier hanging from the fantastic domed ceiling.

** Please note that we are a working farm operation with horses, cattle, and hay production. So, you may possibly see or maybe hear us as we carry out our daily activities on the farm.
The Space
Our two metal grain bins were acquired from a pioneer family farm south of Airdrie and were carefully moved to our property here on the Burnt Timber Road. The Tin Bins Cabin has been custom built by joining the two metal grain bins together thus creating a large open-plan living area/bedroom area that is centered around a warm inviting wood stove. We have created for you a unique” Silocation” experience that is one of only a handful in North America.
Our Tin Bin Cabin features:
• Dominating the bedroom is a massive handmade spruce wood and antique tin bed that Paul has hand-crafted using repurposed fence planks and salvaged tin. Sweet dreams in this beautiful bed are guaranteed with a queen memory foam mattress. Hanging down from the peak in the bedroom ceiling is a large antique Tiffany style lamp that is breathtaking in various hues of blue. Hanging on either side of the bed are antique carriage lanterns, so you have light to read by.
• The cozy leather recliners are situated so that you can sit and become mesmerized by the flames flickering in the wood stove. Between the two recliners is a unique floor lamp designed and hand built using old horseshoes that Paul has used in his trade as a farrier. Throughout the living area are several log stumps that have been crafted from large trees from our property that are used as side tables.
• The foyer area between the living room and bedroom contains a large live-edge log counter and cupboard. Under the counter is a mini-fridge and various cooking and eating dishes and utensils. A detailed packing list is provided upon booking.
• Enjoy the massive deck. The perfect place to cook your meals and eat on the cleverly designed high table and iron tractor seats while you enjoy your morning coffee or glass of wine in the late afternoon sun. NO COOKING INSIDE THE TIN BINS! All cooking must be done outdoors on the two-burner camp stove or campfire grill. The large live-edge food prep counter is located beside the large BBQ that has been reconfigured to hold the two-burner camp stove. Located on the prep counter is a very unique water tap and sink. We, also, provide plenty of fresh water inside the cabin.
• Step off the deck to wander over to the fire pit, slid into the Cowboy Hot Tub (available in the summer months only) or to walk into the woods to explore the closest trail. When evening falls, light the wood in the fire pit, have a seat on the Adirondack chairs located beside the fire pit and maybe cook a few marshmallows!
Conveniently located just off the famous Cowboy Trail and Burnt Timber Road northwest of Cremona, AB, you are centrally located to explore local attractions or head off to adventures beyond.

This makes these elusive horses unique and well worth the trip to watch and photograph them. General location maps can be provided.

5. Absolutely NO Soaps, Shampoo, Conditioner or Oils of any kind to be used in the Cowboy Hot Tub.

Highly recommend for a hard working couple who just needs to get away and disconnect." - "Right after the tour we knew the love and passion that went into this Tin Bin. From the moment we heated the Beth Dutton hot tub, we enjoyed the serene sounds of nature. The bed was so soft and cozy, it made for a cozy sleep with the chilly morning.

- "The fishing was good." - "Beautiful, quiet little cabin in a scenic bend in the river. Surrounded on 3 sides by the little Tay River in a peaceful forested area. Staff were very accommodating and responsive to our needs." - "Gail and Brayden were very friendly and offered us a warm greeting on the campsite. Despite the heavy presence of mosquitoes, which was everywhere at this time of the year, we had a comfortable stay. The peaceful view in the morning with the sun shining over the river was so beautiful! They did a fantastic job with the design of the cabin, it was nice to be able to lift the wall on an open patio area. Thank you!"

- "Wonderful location! Wouldve been nice to know there wasnt any elecriticy before I arrived or i wouldve brought a generator. But other then that, LOVED this place, quiet, calm, right by the river! Will be back next year but want to book the A-frame cabin instead, just to have that extra privacy, shade and most importantly being that much closer to the river/creek for my pretty girl Poppy, who just loves to swim! She even made a friend in Viks dog Molly while we were there! They went swimming and playing in the water!"
