About
This location showcases a beautifully restored 1913 Canadian Northern Railway roundhouse—reportedly one of the last original roundhouses with an operational turntable in Western Canada. The property spans nine acres of peaceful prairie grounds with expansive views overlooking a reservoir and surrounding wetlands, offering ample level parking suitable for rigs of all sizes and complete turning room for larger motorhomes. Guests appreciate the quiet, welcoming atmosphere and the freedom to choose their preferred parking spot among the scenic grounds.
A guided tour of the historic roundhouse is a highlight of any stay, offering fascinating insights into the building's original construction, railway operations, and ongoing restoration efforts. Tour guides share detailed knowledge about the roundhouse's significance to local history and the dedicated volunteer restoration work underway. Visitors consistently praise the tours as informative, engaging, and deeply enriching, with guides welcoming all questions and providing thorough one-on-one explanations.
The property offers more than history—guests enjoy abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, including sightings of prairie dogs, foxes, deer, pelicans, owls, and numerous bird species throughout the seasons. The surrounding area provides a genuine rural prairie experience with convenient access to nearby amenities. The hosts create a warm, accommodating environment, greeting guests upon arrival, communicating responsively, and helping visitors make the most of their stay at this unique heritage destination.
