This historically significant house and yard were an absolute delight. Modern and extremely well stocked kitchen. Huge spaces from the gorgeous living room, to the large bedrooms, dining room, and beautiful yard spaces. The multiplicity of wall hangings, photos, and eclectic collections, books and games provide hours of entertainment.Our family of 6 adults was enthralled throughout our stay.

An absolutely exceptional vacation home, it accommodated our group of 8 people perfectly. We went skiing, hiking, and enjoyed the cozy vibes of the beautiful living room and fireplace. Quiet and serene location, perfectly located for both Pass Powderkeg and Castle Mountain. Fully equipped with everything you would ever need. Would happily book again.

I can’t say enough about how fabulous this place is!!! We were a family of 5 adults and 2 dogs and there was so much space for all of us. The kitchen and bathrooms are extremely well stocked- the firewood is well stocked and the book shelves/games are also fully stocked!! The decor is eclectic but oh so cool from antique to mid century modern and very comfortable. We only spent 2 nights but would love to come back for a week. The history of the house was also very interesting to read- thanks for preserving and sharing this historical site in the Crowsnest Pass. The location is also perfect and easy to access everything! Beautiful, peaceful setting!!!

This wonderful older home is a perfect place to stay. It has so much room but with a cozy feel to it. Awesome fireplace for those colder nights. The kitchen has everything, I mean everything that you need for cook any type of meal. Great coffee-tea area. The bedrooms are roomy and the bed we slept in was very comfortable. There are many windows to capture the amazing views of the mountains. I would definitely stay there again..

Lovely stay with Family

We booked as a family and 1 pet to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Bellevue. We had a lovely stay and the property has everything you'll need to be comfortable and entertain a large group for a meal or just to hang out. The yard and fire pit are a great asset to the property. Look forward to our next stay.
