The Prairie Creek Inn was created by Terri and Larry Cameron, an entrepreneurial couple from Calgary who had a vision to share their lives with others, live and work in a beautiful country location and use their skills and talents to do what they love to do. They chose to create a luxury getaway experience that matched some of those they enjoyed on their travels to inns around North America and started their journey as innkeepers.
In an effort to learn all things innkeeping, the Camerons joined PAII (Professional Association of Innkeepers International) and partook in the many conferences, courses and online resources the organization offered. In their 2-year quest to find the ideal location for their new venture, they chose the Rocky Mountain House area in Central Alberta as it had all the beauty and attributes they envisioned for a true getaway. It was easy to get to and offered a much quieter, intimate and genuine getaway experience than the crowded, commercialized mountain park tourist regions.
The property was a run down 150-acre horse ranch when they bought it in 2002 but the Camerons saw a lovely, private oasis in the rough. A long time DIYer at heart, Terri designed all the cottages and buildings herself in keeping with the rugged natural beauty of area. Her philosophy was to focus on simple, timeless design, organic materials and textures, earthy colours and warm, casually elegant interiors.
“We simply want guests to enjoy the spirit of nature, the luxuries of life and the utmost in hospitality – in beautiful Central Alberta, no less!”
The Prairie Creek Inn’s development has been an ongoing progression since the construction of the first cottage in 2004, Creekside Cottage. The transformation of the old barn into the Coach House building followed from 2005 to 2007 and the Main Inn and Heartstone Restaurant was completed in 2010. From 2011 to 2019, 5 more cottages have been added to the property bringing the total guest units to 16, and growing!
After a lot of hard work, determination and passion, they have created an outstanding mix of luxury accommodations and services that rate highly with Canada’s top getaway destinations. Their ingenious foresight in transforming a somewhat nondescript property in an unconventional Alberta tourism region that now attracts thousands of guests yearly proves that visions do come true if purpose, will and passion is there.
The Prairie Creek Inn now exudes this spirit in everything it is and stands for. It has become that secret getaway place the Camerons envisioned where people from around the world come to escape, relax, recharge and realize their own dreams and passions in life.
After 17 years in the field, the Camerons continually relish in surprising people with their hidden gem and seeing their growing clientele of raving fans keep coming back year after year.
