Guest Reviews
- Farron (9/5): -
- C Zomers (9/5): Perfecte plek om te overnachten - Bij toeval kwam ik deze locatie tegen. Een verborgen pareltje! Het appartement had alles wat je nodig had, wat ontzettend schoon en de medewerker reageerde snel toen we een vraag hadden over de sleutel. Het zag er allemaal goed uit. Zou er zo weer verblijven. We zijn er zelf 2 keer langs gereden voordat we het konden vinden omdat het vanaf de weg niet zichtbaar is. De uitleg van de accommodatie is wel gewoon goed, dus het lag aan ons. Maar een klein bordje aan de weg zou extra helpend zijn!
- Alissa (10/5): - Sehr schön am Fluss gelegen, super ausgestattet Küche!
- Wittwer (8/5): -
- Suniva (10/5): -
- ROBYN (10/5): Next time I would stay longer , make Clearwater as a destination not just an overnight stopover - View was amazing, property was very clean and had all the appliances you need We liked everything
- Sabrina (8/5): Very clean, suite was nice and warm, riverside location was a bonus. -
- Michael J (8/5): Lovely spot by the river. - The spot by the river was excellent - beautiful out the back sliding doors. Not at all far(ish) from the Wells Gray tourist info, but alas, it was winter. Shopping at the Buy-Low was shocking good! Everything we had issues with were or are being handled by Celine - GREAT customer service.
- Carlyle (10/5): A home size apartment to break the motel blues. - The place was in spotless condition, and tastefully furnished. It was great to be able to spread out for the evening, 2 couches, dining table, chairs, kitchen and two double bedrooms. The pride of the hosts in the property was evident in the cleanliness and the attention to detail. Would highly recommend.

- Aldwin (8/5): - Kamer was heel erg mooi en ruim! Douche/wc ruimtes waren netjes, omgeving wel erg mooi
- Michelle (9/5): Excellent! - Great location - amazing views. Well appointed cabin Not much privacy for the bathroom
- Monika (10/5): Traumhafte Unterkunft - Es hat uns einfach alles gefallen 😊🌞
- Lynelle (6/5): Location by river good but not great value for money. - Lovely outlook by the river. Convenient to shops. Room looked like it was still being worked on. Not quite complete. Outdoor furniture not in good repair.
- Amanda (10/5): - Property was well maintained, owner very friendly and river running behind cabin was beautiful and serene.
- David (10/5): Comfortable lodge in beautiful riverside position - Comfortable lodge in beautiful riverside position, with all the amenities needed for self catering. Great location to access Wells Gray park. Nothing
- denis (9/5): -
- Ruggeri (8/5): -
- Martin (9/5): Nice, clean and well located. - Location close to the river was very nice. Quiet and comfortable. The place looks fairly new so signage wasn’t so evident. Would have appreciated somewhere to hang our cloths.
- Olivia (9/5): -
- Helmut (10/5): -
- Eline (10/5): - Nice cabin by the river and easy access to Dutch Lake. Cabin has all amenities needed to enjoy a quiet and relaxing retreat.
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Jantine (9/5): -
- Muriel (2/5): - Every website you look at, says that all cabins have A/C, which was the reason I booked this place!
However, upon arriving on a very hot day, no A/C to be found in the granite cabin…
To make my story short, the very unprofessional owner came to talk to us, was extremely rude, said he was appaled we would even dare ask for a partly refund,etc.. I’ve never in my life met anyone like him and felt scared . If he wishes to continue in this business I would suggest a hospitality course. There was obviously bad blood between him and his employees , seemed like a toxic workplace.
Tip: buy a few pegs and install in cabin so people can at least hang their wet towels…
- Shelly (9/5): Great place by the river -
- Annet (9/5): Fijn huis aan de rivier - Fijn huisje, compleet ingericht aan de rivier. Niets
- Sonia (10/5): Magnifique - Je pense que c'est le logement préféré de tout notre road trip. L'appartement était grand, et joliment décoré, la cuisine était fonctionnelle et moderne. Et la vue sur la rivière était juste fantastique.
Il était possible d'aller directement au lac à pieds, des serviettes de plage étaient fournies.
- Gudy (10/5): Tophuisje op geweldige plek! - Geweldige plek, aan de rivier. Nieuw huisje met twee slaapkamers, badkamer en een volledig ingerichte keuken. Jammer dat we hier maar twee nachten verbleven!
- Mandy (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft am Fluss - Trauhafter Ausblick aus dem Bungalow auf den Fluss,
Ausstattung sehr neu Die Ausstattung könnte besser sein (2 Pappbecher anstatt Tassen, keine Teller, kein Besteck, keine Mikrowelle).
- Beatrice (10/5): Glampkng très confortable - Cabine spacieuse, au calme et en pleine nature, bien située pour décojvrir le parc Wells Gray
- E. Schwyzzer (10/5): Jederzeit wieder - Das Zimmer liegt direkt am Fluss. Draussen gibt es zwei Stühle zum sitzen. Es ist wirklich idyllisch. Die Küche ist perfekt. Es hat eine Badewanne, die man nützen kann. Es gibt einen Kühl- und Gefrierschrank. Gäste des Studios nebenan sind öfters an meiner Terasse vorbeigegangen, bis ich gesagt habe, dass das nicht schön ist. Sie sollen auf der anderen Seite langehen, auch wenn das etwas weiter ist. Aber dafür kann die Einrichtung nichts.
- Kim (9/5): Great quiet location yet close to everything - The location was right on the river. Peaceful surrounds yet close to all facilities. Description of property and welcome instructions were specific and correct. We hiked a lot and there is plenty to see so make sure you are up early and make the best part of your trip
- Richelle (8/5): -
- Apolline (10/5): Amazing cozy cabine next to the river! - The property was really well maintained, clean and the kitchen was fully equipped (+ real stove and oven). It was really cozy and romantic. The view on the river was amazing. The parking in front of the property was very convenient. I highly recommend this place!
- Christian (10/5): Great location to stay for vaction - Very well equipped kitchen. Spacious rooms, very clean, and nice view to the river.
- Kate (8/5): Beautiful place and accommodation shame about shared bathroom facilities - Beautiful setting. Excellent size accommodation. Really comfortable beds! Centrally located. Coffee facilities and towels. Very clean. When we booked it we were not aware that it was shared bathroom facilities- see attached- we found out couple of days before. My husband has crohns so the walk to the shared toilets and showers was not ideal. Also only 2 womens toilets snd showers for over 10 chalets and campers. So although the facilities were lovely there was not enough of them. The booking info is definitely misleading
- Shirish (8/5): - We stayed at glamping cabins right by the river. The cabin was very clean, very spacious, had fridge and AC. The property is well maintained, washrooms were always clean and hygienic. The area has some good restaurants and smaller local eateries within walking distance. There is a gas station and convenience store close by. The main road is only a few meters away and town center, visitor information center, Buy Low foods are all around 1 km distance. Very good place to stay for tourists.
- Dan (8/5): Very good -
- Aidan (10/5): - This place is a gem. We booked the 2 bed scoria suite. The first thing that stands out is the view from the cabin. It’s right along by the river and it’s absolutely stunning. The kitchen is kitted out with all you need. If I was to find one negative it’s the blinds are very light so it’s very bright in morning. Bring an eye mask. Overall, I highly recommend this place
- Debra (8/5): Was a lovely overnight stay! - Beautiful location on the river, brand new accommodation and facilities. Toilets and showers in a central building but very clean, all new and comfortable
- Tania (7/5): Good - Location on river was peacful. Cabin was really nice, clean and spacious. Bed was small ans squeaky. Bathrooms not in room, but they are close by and clean. We were not permitted to drive car to cabin, so had to lugg our suitcases through grass paddock in the rain.
- James (10/5): - Overall good experience
- Ewelina (10/5): - Beautiful and clean and super cute for a weekend cabin vibe away! Very good location to Wells grey, great lake across the street.
- steven (10/5): - River' Retreat is a great place to stay for a glamping experience. Nice cabins, very comfy bed, clean facilities.
- Asif (10/5): Amazing experience! - We had an incredible time. Very comfortable cabin and very clean and new washrooms. If we ever come again, we will certainly book for longer. To top it up, we met Sarah who not only was extremely nice as a person, but also saved us a ton of woes when we got locked out of our car. She was able to arrange someone on a Sunday evening in 5 mins! If you are reading this Sarah, THANK YOU!
- Alice (10/5): Lovely place close to nature - The accommodation‘s name is quite literal and we truly were at the edge of the river. It was wonderful being able to spot wildlife out of our bed (see pictures). The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, the bedsheets smelled nice and everything was clean.
- Madeline (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (9/5): Great location and super cozy cabins. Highly recommended! - The host, Sarah, was very kind, open and just super nice! The location is one of a kind but has even more potential than the super nice cabins existing so far! Lovely decorated and full view to the river. So far the kitchen is missing and it would be nice to have an area to gather with a bigger group or with other visitors.
- Glynis (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning river side cabin Bed could have been bigger .
- Jan-Olov (10/5): - A very nice cabin. Furnished in a beautiful way with a lovely bed. Felt like sleeping on a fluffy bed of cream.
- Griet (8/5): Great location for a few nights at Well’s gray! - We acccidentally booked a cabin that didnt have a private bathroom (apparently put in a misleading way at the booking.com platform), but could luckily easily switch to a cabin with own private facilities (for a little addition to the rate). The host was very nice and helpful and we enjoyed our stay : it was perfect!! The ‘standard’ cabins do not have private bathroom. This was not clear on booking.com but the hosts now clarify this .
We received a lot of messages through booking.com in advance (on opportunities for activities etc… so its not always clear which messages are just advertisement and which ones are important (eg rental agmt ).
- Heather (10/5): Relaxing getaway experience - The cabin was beautiful, very clean, modern and comfortable, it sits right by the riverbank as the name suggests, it was so quiet and peaceful N/A
- Heather (10/5): Peaceful - Riverfront right outside the cabin and well situated in the town of Clearwater
- Lucy (9/5): Superb -
- Sin-Ying (10/5): - My husband and I had the most tranquil experience. Everything is in perfect condition.
- Julie (9/5): Enjoyable and comforable - Beautiful location, spectacular river view. Clean and cozy. No hanging space for clothing. A little hard to find with no road side signage
- Maddison (10/5): - Great accommodations for an affordable, quiet getaway. Great rooms, staff, and lots of amazing scenery surrounding the area. Will definitely be coming back!
- Amanda (10/5): - This is our second stay and we love it here. We’ll be back!
- Nicholas (8/5): - Good self catering appartment
- Mc (10/5): Peaceful getaway - We liked how cozy the space was. It was nice having some quiet time alone. No complaints :)
- Long (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barry (7/5): Good - Location was perfect Beds could be bigger and hot water wasn’t that hot. Signage need to be better.
- David (10/5): - Nice place to stay.
- Amanda (10/5): - Wonderful stay! We’ll be back.
- Erin (10/5): - Sarah was very thoughtful and accommodating. Check-in was easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The river was a stones throw away providing a gorgeous view and soothing sounds. Incredibly relaxing.
- Alexandre (8/5): Sleep peacefully - Small house well furnished. Quiet location and beautiful place.
- Sandi (8/5): - Situated on the river, nice quiet location and we would stay there again.
- Behr (4/5): Disappointing - It's a good location, clean, and good view Terrible bed it was so uncomfortable I had to check out early, disorganized for check in, shared washrooms
- Dixon (10/5): Exceptional - The view was absolutely stunning. Very peaceful location. Definitely stay there again.
- Angie (10/5): Great location, large suite with very comfortable beds and owner so nice and helpful. - The location was fantastic right on river.
The suite was clean and spacious with all you need and beds were very comfortable.
Host/owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing
- Rohan (8/5): Very good -
- Jing (8/5): Very good -
- Dan (10/5): Incredible value! Exceptionally clean and very comfortable. -
- Carolyn (10/5): - Lovely gem of a place. Never thought glamping could be so much fun. Stop and stay you won’t be disappointed.
- Daniel (9/5): Great Views and Would Definitely Stay Again! - The view from the unit was amazing and the bed was really comfy. The toilets and showers were also really clean. Although the bed was comfortable, the bedframe was made of metal and squeaked every time you moved.
- Matthias (7/5): Good place to stay on the way to the Rockies - Nice view of the river directly from the room. Room is spaceious and check in is easy. The entrance is very hard to find without mobile data, especially in the dark.
- James (9/5): A great value. Definitely would return. - The rooms have obviously just been renovated and are beautiful. The washrooms also have just been renovated and are spotlessly clean. There’s a beautiful view of the river. This is excellent value for money. A short walk to the common bathrooms however this is a very minor inconvenience.
- Manuel (8/5): Clean and nice cabin next to the river. - Nice modern cabin, sparkling clean and huge windows towards the river. -Shared bathroom is 100m away from the actual cabin.
-We've been sent a list of fines about what happens when you move the furniture or misbehave, seemed a bit crazy and made us somewhat feel less welcome. Never seen before traveling. Didn't change the quality of the stay though.
- Penelope (7/5): River on the Doorstep - Right on the river!
Spacious
Comfortable
Good value for money The kitchen utensils and crockery need some attention. Not enough and too old.
GPS instructions were not quite correct but we used our common sense.
- Philip (7/5): Comfortable in a nice town with great waterfalls to visit. - Nice location next to the river. A kitchen or communal area would have been good.
- Kevin (7/5): Comfotable - Location No bathroom in room
- Mike (6/5): Pleasant - Located on the edge of the river. Quiet. Noisy bed! Creaked badly whenever you moved.
- Emille (6/5): Pleasant -
- Pauline (6/5): - i had not read the information on this property as well as I should have. There is a central block for the bathroom and there is no kitchen in the cottage. This was probably my fault but it was inconvenient to walk to the washroom in the middle of the night.
- M (10/5): - Perfect for a quick overnight, but worthwhile to come for a longer visit. Air was pure and fresh, water tasted the absolute best - lives up to the community’s namesake. Shared washrooms were clean, but bring your own hair wash. Had a good, comfortable sleep on the beds and were warm in the cabin. Will stop again if we are back this way!
