Alberta Bed & Breakfast Association

Chimney Rock Bed and Breakfast

"How loud can quiet be?"

Chimney Rock Bed and Breakfast is nestled in what is historically known as Breeding Valley on the Eastern Slopes of the Alberta Rocky Mountains.  During your stay, we will share the panoramic mountain views of the Livingstone Range from our deck overlooking Chaffen Creek or watch the cattle and horses quietly grazing in the valley below.  You may be invited to help with chores or have a cup of coffee and listen while Tony shares some stories of the Valley - most are actually true!

Located south of Longview along the Cowboy Trail (Hwy #22), the Webster Ranch has been involved in the cattle business since 1946 and the homestead remains on-site.  Lots of history and tradition on the range!

Peaceful and relaxing, this is an excellent location for your retreat or meeting yet easy to get out and explore some of our local attractions.  We host various events, programs and workshops from here - check the Dames on the Range website for details.  www.damesontherange.ca

Once you've settled in, there are lots of opportunities to listen to the creek, watch the birds and wildlife, take a walk, do some stargazing (or even see the Northern Lights!) and enjoy life without noise.  A wonderful spot to sketch, paint, take pictures or press flowers.  

Tours of our Grazing and Riparian (wetland) Demonstration Sites can be arranged for larger or smaller groups for a minimal fee.  The Webster Ranch received the 2005 Farm Family Award for the M.D. of Ranchland recognizing the family's responsible stewardship and sustainable land management.  We welcome the opportunity to share the results of our stewardship efforts!

Both bedrooms have queen-size beds - the "Room with a View" has an ensuite bath and the "Buckskin 'n Blue" has a private bath.  Full, ranch-style breakfasts are included with your stay.  To assist with menu preparation, advise of any special dietary concerns or preferences.

The Guest Lounge has 2 foldout futons for groups or families and may be re-arranged to setup as a small meeting room or retreat area.  The library includes books to identify local flora, fauna or geological formations and historic tales of our region.

Our tepee is ready for guests!  Bring your own bedding and sleep outdoors on hewn spruce cots - outhouse nearby.  A hearty, ranch-style breakfast will be served at the main house and a shared bathroom is available to 'tidy-up'.  Good spot to just enjoy the fresh air or get away for awhile . . . regardless of the weather.
