Welcome to Hermit Thrush Cabin!

We offer:

A beautiful LOG cabin in the mountains near Valemount, BC!

Unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the alpine while enjoying comfortable accommodation.

Well-equiped cabin, suitable for families with children.

 
   At 6300 ft. above sea level (subalpine ecozone) this remote cabin offers a spectacular view of McKirdy peak. The trail is a 5.8 km. long hike, where you gain 2800 ft. of elevation. Once you reach the cabin there is no shortage of things to do and see...
   During wildflower season (late July/early August) a meadow of wildflowers can be found a 5-minute walk from the cabin. In the summer time you can enjoy a refreshing dip in a lake that is minutes away. As the summer progresses, the lake recedes until in September it is knee deep. Just outside the door there is a sparkling stream that provides fresh spring water. Cabin gives access to a hiking trail that crosses an old rock slide (marmot and pika habitat) and leads you to more alpine meadows.
   Cabin is well-equiped and will provide a great mountain experience for families with children. Couples can enjoy a romantic getaway. For individuals looking to spend some time alone, Hermit Thrush Cabin will provide tranquility and natural beauty.

   Hermit Thrush cabin is a seven-sided cabin. It was designed for maximum view and natural light. The 180 sq. ft. interior has the double bed somewhat seperated from the living space. A screened in porch (50 sq. ft.) compliments the unit. The kitchen has a 3 burner (no oven) propane stove & is well equipped. The wood burning heater is the heat source for winter weather and cooler summer evenings. With windows on four sides of the cabin, there is plenty of natural light. A near-by stream provides water and an outside toilet is available.

   Hermit Thush is a beautiful songbird whose habitat includes the rugged mountains of Western Canada. The melodious, fluty warble, wafting on the mountain breeze, is one of the charming features of hiking our mountain trail.

   I first went to Hermit Thrush Cabin for a solitary retreat in April 2009. I found a place to relax and renew in beauty and peace. All my stress and clutter lifted and it was only the mountains, nature and me with peace, stillness and clarity. This is a place that brings out the natural beauty and joy in me.
   I've also gone to the cabin with friends and it is a great place to connect and be together, just enjoying each other's company.
   I feel very lucky to have enjoyed this beautiful and spiritually uplifting place.

   A tranquil hide-away surrounded by a stunning panarana of snow capped peaks. Truly a place for your soul to take rest.

   Quiet, oh so quiet! That is the first thing we noticed when we arrived at this haven on the mountain...

   Wow! What a beautiful trip. Skied up yesterday in light snow which turned into cold clear skies overnight. Nice work on the log work-real craftmanship. Very beautiful. Thanks Annie & Gordon and family. Merry Christmas! Beautiful world up here!
