Welcome to the Folk Tree Lodge and congratulations!
You’ve just found the coolest cabins close to Calgary.
Here we have three cabins the Beaver house, Deer house and The Little Red House. Please see our other listing VRBO #955860 for the Deer house and VRBO #2775952 for the Little Red House. If you would like to rent both Beaver and Deer house please see the listing for the "Folk Tree Lodge" #789262.

Escape the city to the serene and rich natural setting of the Rocky Mountain foothills, just outside of Calgary. Revitalize in the fresh forest air, cozy up to the stone fireplace, and enjoy the company of those around you. Book a week or weekend in these unique and hand crafted log cabins.

The Cabins:
At Folk Tree Lodge we have 2 cabins, the Deer house and the Beaver house. Full of character, both cabins have been recently renovated by a local folk artisan to include hand-crafted log beds, stone floor mosaics, decoupage ceilings and many more unique details waiting to be discovered. The cabins have fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas and modern bathrooms.

The Deer House is a 2000 sq. ft. log cabin built in 1954. Original oak floors, cozy stone fireplace, and spacious sunroom, all contribute to the rustic charm of this log cabin. Out the back, there is a private and forested patio with a BBQ, fire pit, picnic table, and some lovely swings hanging from the trees. The Deer House can accommodate 8-10 people.

The Beaver House is a 2000 sq. ft. barn style log cabin built in 1982. This cabin is divided into two units, the Upper and Lower Beaver. Giant windows overlooking the pasture, high ceilings, and warm colors, give it a well-lit and airy feel. The multi-level patio is large and has plenty of space for outdoor dining. There is a BBQ, fire pit and a really great tree house for kids. The Beaver house can accomodate up to 12 guests.

The Land:
Folk Tree Lodge is nested in a beautiful and intimate natural setting with a private 30+ acres of nature for you to explore and enjoy. It is surrounded by a pristine forest, with an abundance of natural beauty, wildlife and rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. You will discover vast open fields, a winding creek spanning the property, and a small pond. Venture just down the highway and you are in the magnificent Kananaskis country, a recreation area teeming with opportunities for nature exploration and outdoor fun. Hiking, biking, skiing and more, come and experience the beauty for yourself!

Wonderful relaxing and fun staff time.

We came together as a group of 8 Co workers who needed a chance to regroup, rejuvenate and relax after supporting families, pregnant women and people with substance use issues through the pandemic. We rented both buildings and found them both to be perfect for our meals, sleeping and activities. We walked, played games had fires inside and out did yoga in the sunroom and had lots and lots of conversation in the comfortable living rooms. We will be back!!

OH CANADA!

Folk Tree Lodge is an exceptional experience. With rustic, warm, inviting features... updated fixtures and appliances... set in a wilderness environment - this is the definition of peace and tranquility. From the initial communication with Spencer, to final check out, our experience was flawless. So many "thank yous" to the entire staff for assisting in the success of our wedding party. You must see the property to fully appreciate the beauty of Alberta.

Weekend trip to Alberta with friends

The lodge is in a great location for a family or group looking to be close to nature, but also less than an hour from the Calgary Airport. Banff and Lake Louise are accessible as a day trip from this property; about a 4 hour drive round trip. The lodge stays relatively warm and comfortable even in the middle of Winter. I was also surprised by how many businesses there were in the nearby small town of Bragg Creek (grocery store, brunch restaurant, tavern and sandwich shop to name a few). Overall an excellent stay!
