Photography and birdwatching The Kootenay area is world renown for its wildlife and mountain scenery. Our wildlife includes moose, elk, whitetail and mule deer, cougar, wolves, coyote, grizzly & black bear and many smaller animals. Our bird species are endless from the very smallest humming birds to the beautiful bald eagle. One of our guests counted 21 different bird species just around the cabin itself. Your measure of success in photography or wild life viewing will depend on how much time you spend at it.
Golf - There are at least 5 - 18 hole golf courses within 1 hours drive - eg Cranbrook, Trickle Creek, Bootleg Gap, Kimberley and St Eugene Mission. Within a 2 hour drive there are another 5 plus courses. Most of the mentioned courses are very highly rated. We also have many smaller par 3 courses around the area.St. Eugene Mission Golf Resort
