The trailhead to these views is 5 minutes from Merlo Cabin!
Mount Swansea hosts an incredible mountain biking trail network that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. Trails vary from intermediate to advanced and will have enough challenge for anyone. If you get to the top by pedaling or via a shuttle, you'll be rewarded with an incredible view of the valley and surrounding mountain peaks with views for miles. When you're ready, head down one of the most fun camber-filled rolling and bombing descents in the Rockies - my personal favourite is South Park trail.

The best of both worlds! Surround yourself with nature yet remain moments from modern conveniences.
Merlo Cabin backs onto a private ravine providing forest and mountain views, yet is only minutes from the edge of town.
While you're on your getaway, you'll enjoy so many modern conveniences:
🚗 4 minute drive from town
🏎 2 minute drive to the convenience store
🛜 150+MBPS high-speed internet
📺 5x smart TVs to enjoy
🔈 2x harmon kardon bluetooth speakers
🧦 2 sets of washers and dryers
And yet, you'll feel like you've fully escaped to nature.
Double tap if you love immersing yourself in the mountains!

Have you taken a dip in a 100% natural mountain hot spring?
You won’t regret visiting the Lussier hot springs while on your getaway to the valley - it is unforgettable! We took a side trip this past weekend and were so lucky to have it softly snowing while we soaked in the springs.
Lussier has 3 hot pools, each at different temperatures so you’ll find one that suits you best. If you want the true Canadian experience, try a cold-plunge in the mountain river running alongside! Yes, even in the dead of winter!
The hot springs are open year-round, although I do think visiting in the winter is as magical as it gets. If you are there in the summer, head out early to beat the crowds.The Lussier Hot Springs are located just under an hour away from the cabin.
Are you team natural hot springs or do you prefer the human-made facilities of Radium or Fairmont? Let us know in the comments!
