A Métis Cultural Immersion for the Soul
Métis culture rewards curious visitors with insight and perspective unique to their European and First Nations roots. Located along the gorgeous and meandering North Saskatchewan River, the beautifully designed space features an onsite museum, fantastic gist shop, dining, workshops, wildlife experiences and tours. Best feature: warm and welcoming staff.
This unique 600 acre property has accommodation options that inspire visitors to truly experience life on the land. A lodge featuring traditional craftsmanship with modern materials hints at the building style of the fur trade era. Rooms are bright, modern and spacious, with many offering river lot views, once a gathering spot for Métis ancestors.
You may catch sight of bison by day and if you're lucky, Northern Lights by night (dependent on time of year).
The Sky Domes (SoulFly recommended experience) are a short walk from the lodge, yet offer a rewarding experience. Listen to the trees shimmering in the wind and coyotes howl in the distance while curling up in your cozy bed. Star gaze through the viewing screen until you fall into a deep slumber.
With nearly zero light pollution star gazing is an experience to truly set the soul alight. For guests who experience sensory overload these cozy accommodations are recommended over the spacious (and echoing) lodge.
