We really enjoyed our stay and it fit our whole family. We wished we could have enjoyed the outdoor space more as the rain made that more challenging, but the whole space was beautiful and functional. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Kitchen very well facilitated, everything was clean. Could have used a bit more soaps in the showers, and would have been nice to know there was someone living on the property ... although there was no issue with it, just nice to know. It was lovely, and the hosts were very accommodating, helpful, and responsive. Very peaceful surroundings.

This was a perfect place to meet and stay with a group of close friends. The firepit with included firewood was amazing. The bbq and kitchen are superbly stocked to cook meals for a large group. The beds are comfortable and the property is peaceful. Nicole is responsive to all your needs. I highly recommend this place.

Wedding weekend in the woods!

We stayed here for our wedding weekend, our celebration was held in Bragg Creek (15min away). Property was great, beds comfy, soaker tubs much appreciated after dancing all night long and space for everyone to spread out, get ready and organize flowers. Our fur babies loved it the most, perfect fenced in area for them to run around. Special place for our special weekend.

Family Get Together

We live far apart and it was so good to gather in a central location to enjoy a weekend together. The cousins loved the trampoline and playing outside - making great memories! The house was great, all the things we needed for an Easter dinner were there. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of dishes etc to make our stay very comfortable.

Wedding weekend

Amazing place, was clean and roomy both indoors and out. The touches of having books and colouring books as welk as the trampoline was great to keep the kids occupied. Out door fire pit with the piano was a great hit. Love the outdoors and the size of fire pit easily fit the entire family. The use of space and amount storage was also great. The bathroom quantity and space was excellent especially when doing wedding prep with a large family. Overll it suited our needs very well. The host was fairly speedy with responding back to any concerns or questions.

Family Vacation 2025

The home is completely modern and renovated above and beyond expectations. Each room has modern touches, to the point our family members now want to remodel our homes! The grounds are an outdoorsman’s paradise. Lots of exploring to do. This place is nestled in the woods, so stop on the way to pick up food. But there are basic spices and coffee to get you started. The downstairs/basement room is the coolest in the home, the attic room is the warmest, so plan your stay if anyone in your group gets too hot or cold (we had a travel fan for our summertime stay, so that was helpful) and the homeowner has the most amazing bedding and lots of extra blankets. There’s a washer and dryer, too for washing your clothes between hikes. Calgary is about 1.5 hours away and there’s a local town not too far away with several good restaurants, coffee shops and fuel. The homeowner also has several musical instruments, including a guitar and outdoor piano (both in tune) so our musical family were able to play and sing! A TON of things to do—not enough time. We LOVED this home for our family of 8.
