If you've ever dreamed of running away to the prairies, look no further. This Alberta cottage is ultimate idyllic getaway where you can sip your morning coffee overlooking a gorgeous river valley.

Willow Ridge Cottage, which is just outside Cochrane, was listed as one of Airbnb's "most unique" stays in Canada and offers stunning views of the Alberta prairies without even needing to get out of bed.

The cozy cottage can be found next to a natural pond in Jumping Pound Creek and is completely surrounded by nature. You could even spot deer, elk, bears, or moose right outside your window.

You can also enjoy your morning coffee sitting on a porch swing just outside the cottage overlooking the prairies and the pond. In August, the wild flowers take over the valley for an even more stunning view.
