About this property

Swift Mountain Lodge - loghouse by the river

Surrounded by forests, mountains and rivers, this fantastic house awaits you in a rustic ambience in absolute seclusion.
Nevertheless, you do not have to go without a certain extend of luxury and the town is still in walking distance.
Swift Mountain Lodge is set in 40 acres of land in a clearing along a river that is known for spawning salmon in late summer.

The light rush of the nearby river, the location of the house in the middle of nature and the view over the wooded valley on the opposite mountain chain will make you forget the everyday life.

Through a private access road, which is maintained all year round, you reach Swift Mountain Lodge from the village of Valemount. Despite absolute tranquillity you can reach the village even by foot in 15 minutes. There are several shops such as bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, drugstore, bank and several cafes and restaurants.

The house is surrounded by a large veranda, with table, chairs and lounge couches. Additionally there is a terrace with a fireplace and barbeque beside the house, as well as a log sauna and a wood-fired hot tub.
The house is completely furnished. In the kitchen you find sufficient dishes, as well as a fridge with freezer, oven and stove. We also provide our guests with bedlinen and towels.
On the ground floor there is a large living and dining area, in which a wood stove provides a cozy log cabin atmosphere. The room is generously equipped with seating. Additionally infloor heating can be used.
The spacious kitchen with a wide access contributes to the open atmosphere. In addition, there is a small bathroom with toilet and sink.

In the souterrain you will find two bedrooms and a bathroom with a spacious tub and shower. Washing machine and dryer can also be found in the basement.

The upper floor is equipped with two bedrooms, one with a large balcony and stunning view over the valley to the mountains. A beautiful bathroom with shower can also be found upstairs.

Business Licence for short-term rental.

Swift Mountain Family Getaway
This was our second visit to the charming Swift Mountain Lodge. We very much enjoyed both stays; it is a delightfully, cosy log home, perfect for a family getaway. We have come to really enjoy the Valemount community as well, a mountain community wilth a wide variety of activities to enjoy. The cabin was spotless and communication with the owner very helpful. We plan to return

Valemount getaway
We all had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. It’s location is amazing, completely private but just a short km from town. The best thing is it’s practically inside the bike park. We rode every day and it’s only about a 19 min ride to the first staging area. So convenient! Riding home for lunch was a breeze and very one could do their own thing without worrying about a vehicle. Also close to beautiful trials for running and hiking.

Valemount log home
The upper master bedroom and main level living area are very nice and well equipped. The lower level bedrooms are just average but do have their own bathroom. There is no TV and the wifi is a bit slow but that is to be expected. The nearby creek is not visible from the cabin unless you hike down a rocky slope. The front porch and upper bedroom deck are great for relaxing. Great food at the Caribou cafe.
