These aren’t your average accommodations. They’re circular, steel, and shockingly stylish inside.
Imagine waking up in the middle of a working cattle ranch with 360-degree views of the Rocky Mountains, deer grazing outside your window, and the distant sound of cattle calling across the plains. Now imagine you’re experiencing all of this from inside a grain silo. We get it, this might sound like a claustrophobic and very, very sweaty nightmare from the outside looking in, but when you learn about Twin Butte Silos, you’ll be packing your bags to stay in a chic little silo of your own.
Set on 26 acres of private land within the historic Spearpoint Cattle Ranch, the Twin Butte Silos are turning heads for all the right reasons. Located just a scenic 15-minute drive from the gates of Waterton Lakes National Park, this one-of-a-kind accommodation blends rural charm with upscale comfort. The twist? These beautifully repurposed grain silos have been reimagined into boutique vacation suites, and the result is nothing short of magic.
Honkey Tonk Meets Modern Luxury
From the outside, the Twin Butte Silos stay true to their agricultural roots. They’re round, corrugated steel structures that once stored grain and now stand proudly against the vast southern Alberta landscape. But step inside, and you’ll find a surprise: modern rustic interiors that rival any high-end mountain retreat.
Each silo comfortably sleeps four guests and includes a cozy loft-style bedroom, a well-equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, and a chic living room that makes you forget you’re in a former grain bin (we know, it’s weird. But we promise, it’s so, so cool). The decor mixes reclaimed wood, cozy textures, and thoughtful touches that reflect the area’s ranching heritage, while ensuring a luxurious stay. You’ll find air conditioning, WiFi, and even heated floors for those cooler nights under the prairie stars. So, if you thought sleeping in a metal cylinder would be a total sweat lodge, you better think again.
Booking Your Stay
Booking your stay at the Twin Butte Silos is easy. Head to the website to view each of the three silo suites and check availability. Nightly rates are competitive with nearby hotels, but what you’re getting is far from ordinary. Guests rave about the personalized check-in, friendly communication from hosts, and peaceful setting that makes it feel like your own private retreat.
There are no shared spaces here. It’s all yours. And while it feels like you’re a world away, everything you need is within reach, from grocery stores to hiking trails and scenic drives that make the journey just as rewarding as the destination.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat with friends, or a basecamp for adventure in Waterton, Twin Butte Silos checks all the boxes. It’s a place where rustic meets refined, where the Alberta wind rustles through the grasses outside while you sip on a refreshing beverage in a perfectly curated space.
It’s not just a stay, it’s a story. And trust us, it’s one you’ll want to tell.
So next time you're headed south on Highway 6, keep your eyes peeled. You just might spot a trio of silver silos shimmering in the distance and realize you’ve found your next great escape.
