Private Retreats
Where Privacy Meets Profound Renewal
There are places that invite rest—and then there are places that transform you.
Enjoy space within 3,600 acres of pristine Alberta Foothills, The Lodge at Thanksgiving Ranch is a private sanctuary where time slows, perspective widens, and the spirit of the land quietly restores you.
Whether you’re seeking solitude for reflection, creative inspiration, or intimate connection with a select group, our ranch offers the perfect blend of seclusion and sophistication. Every sunrise over the Rockies, every whisper of wind through the grasslands, reminds you of what truly matters.
An Experience of Thoughtful Luxury
Designed for discerning guests, The Lodge combines rustic elegance with refined comfort. From hand-hewn timber architecture to world-class amenities, every detail reflects a deep respect for both craftsmanship and nature.
Enjoy:
Spacious suites with sweeping mountain views
Fireside lounges perfect for quiet conversation or introspection
Chef-prepared meals using locally inspired, seasonal ingredients

Tailored to Your Intention
No two retreats are alike. Some guests arrive to recharge after a demanding season of leadership. Others come to reconnect—with purpose, with creativity, or with themselves. Our team ensures your stay reflects your goals, whether that’s restorative solitude or a guided group experience in the great outdoors.
Inspiration in Every Direction
Wake to golden light spilling over the Porcupine Hills. Spend afternoons exploring forest trails or savoring stillness beside the fire. As night falls, gather under a sky dense with stars—each moment crafted for clarity, connection, and calm.
Your Private Escape Awaits
For those who understand that true luxury is found in silence, space, and simplicity, Thanksgiving Ranch offers more than a retreat—it offers renewal.
