About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Scandinavian getaway in the forest - calm, minimal, and serene.

Designed with simplicity, sustainability, and all things hygge.

Enjoy your own private hydrotherapy circuit - HEAT up in the hot tub - COLD plunge in the snow (winter) or in the outdoor shower (summer) - REST in a forest hammock (summer) or by the fire in a muskoka chair. REPEAT.

Retreat to the upper patio to relax on a sun lounger, or cuddle up in a cozy blanket around the fire table. There are so many ways to unwind on this gorgeous, forested property.

Nature follows you as you move inside this octagonal house, inspired by nature’s balanced design of soft curves and sharp lines. Curl up with a warm drink and a book by the wood burning fireplace. Put on a record and wind down over a board game. Cook dinner together in the fully stocked chef’s kitchen. Get comfy around the TV for a movie. Retire for the night to one of the luxury guest suites. Craft your morning coffee and laze on a daybed or start your day in the sunroom with a stretch flow workout.

Parents with infants/small children will be comforted to know we have amenities for the kids as well. Don’t worry about bringing along a high chair, bumbo & tray, playpen, bedding, padded playmat, or kid's dinnerware. We have you covered even when it comes to playtime, with a kid’s area stocked with coloring sheets, markers, toys, puzzles, a train set, lego, games and books.

2 king bedrooms, 1 queen bedroom, 1 multi-bed room (configuration options: 2 twin beds, 4 twin beds, or locked together as 1 king bed), 1 double daybed.

3 of the bedrooms have a workspace: desk, chair, and stationary. Additionally, the queen bedroom has a wifi printer and paper.

Full chef's kitchen, wet bar with mini-fridge, large dining table, 2 large living rooms, sun/wellness room, kid's cave (toy room), record player, bluetooth speaker and 2 TVs (Netflix included).

Great weekend outing to Nordegg
Our stay at Octhaus was all we had hoped for and more. Amazing space, beautifully decorated. it was perfect for our group of 2 families with kids from 10 to 15. We really enjoyed the Christmas market in Nordegg and the Miner's Cafe.

Summer mountain holiday
The property was exactly as advertised and Candace was very easy to deal with and quick to respond. Lots of room for our family of 9! The hot tub was very nice after hiking coliseum! The house had everything we needed to cook our meals for 6 days. Everything was nicely labelled, making it easy to find whatever we needed. There was lots of space to gather, but still cozy spaces to relax, nice firm beds, Bluetooth speakers and a vinyl record player to use. There are so many great outdoor activities in and around Nordegg, and OktHaus made a perfect home base, we will be back!!

Beautiful property
Lovely home and surroundings. After a long hike up coliseum we enjoyed the hot tub. Had some issues with the hot water in the house as this smart house decided we didn’t need hot water between 6-10 pm. Minor inconvenience as the surroundings were so amazing we made it work. Lots of laughter games wine and great food with wonder friends. We will be back.

Loved this place
We truly enjoyed our time at the Okt Haus. The minimalist Scandinavian decor is fabulous, so clean, organized and everything we could need. The whole concept of the house is truly inspirational, cozy heated concrete floors, built in storage everywhere, beautiful kitchen, fantastic fire place, hot tub, and moutains. Favorite memories; sitting by a crackling fire listening to the record player while looking at a sky full of stars(windows in the place are amazing!!!) and sitting in the hot tub watching the sun peak through the trees and sparkle off the fresh snow blowing from the branches as it created a show just for us. Any questions we had the owner was quick to respond and the answer was found right away. I would recommend this place to everyone I know. We will be back for sure.
