Drumheller Vacay summer 2023

Helen's Hideaway is a quaint and conveniently located place to stay that is perfect for families looking for a few days in Drumheller. It is conveniently located near grocery store amenities and the attractions downtown. The kitchen is fully equipped for daily cooking needs. The interior is nicely decorated and comfortable. The bbq and back patio offer a quiet retreat from the day's heat and hikes. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this property as an excellent alternative to a hotel stay.

## Perfect Getaway for Families and Friends in Drumheller

We recently stayed at this VRBO in Drumheller with friends, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The house is perfectly suited for both families and a weekend getaway with friends. Its central location made it easy to explore the local attractions, and we appreciated being so close to everything we wanted to see. The home itself is incredibly cute and well-decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It had all the amenities we needed, including air conditioning, which was a lifesaver in the hot Drumheller weather. From the comfortable beds to the fully equipped kitchen, everything was thoughtfully provided, making our stay effortless and enjoyable. Overall, this VRBO offered a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. We highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable stay in Drumheller!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
The management company is horrible. Terrible communication by them even before we arrived. I received a suspicious email from them and I was trying to contact them. No response. No response to texts for days for check in instructions etc. We weren’t even sure if would be able to get in the house when we arrived. When we arrived the grass was over a foot high. There were weeds everywhere and the patio was full of leaves and debris. Tried to contact management no answer. When they finally responded they said they would get someone sent out. No one ever came and management did not respond. The grass was so long our grandaughter couldn’t play in the yard and the fire pit chairs had grass up to the seats. One of the reasons we rented this house was the patio and yard. So the fact it was so run down was disappointing. The house itself is adorable. Nicely renovated. Has everything you need. Comfy beds. However the furniture is dirty and stained. The walls were filthy. The shelf in one room was broken and hanging and the door knob came out of the door as there was no back on it. There were sheets and towels left in the laundry. The house is in a great location and has everything you need. The problem is absolutely not with the house. It is with the management company and whoever they are using to clean and maintain it. Very disappointing for the price we paid. When the trip was over Nomadics wanted a review and I told them about the problems. No one got back to me.
