We were in Red Deer to attend a Celebration of Life for a family member. Brian and Connie’s place was the perfect place to be. It allowed 7 of us to stay together without feeling like we were on top of each other. The grounds were beautiful and allowed us some serenity. Brian and Connie were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The layout of the home is very conducive to a large group. I would recommend it highly!

Thanks so much for your five star review. It was great to have you. Thanks for leaving the place in good condition. It is sad that the water gave off a smell for you, we spent $8000 on a new water system. I will contact them to see what the problem is maybe a slight adjustment because that is not a normal problem. It has been working really good.

Great stay

It was great to be able to find a place where several of us from work could gather to do some focused work and have some really good connection. It was quiet, away from the hustle and bustle and the homeowners were so accommodating and kind. The suite was as advertised, quick drive to all amenities and didn’t have to look out at other houses. Acreage environment and city amenities.

It's ideally located just on the edge of the city, offering easy access to everything without the noise and chaos of downtown.The hosts were amazing—their instructions were clear, and they communicated promptly, making the whole experience seamless.

This property is exactly as shown and is actually bigger than you think. The owner let us know that there is a railway track across hwy 2A and my family knew it was a sign that we should stay here. We were in town from Edmonton, Calgary and Standard to celebrate the life of our brother Tom. He worked for the railway for 37 years and soon after we arrived the train whistle greeted us. This may sound hokey but we knew our brother was with us at that moment. The grounds of this property are beautiful and we were able to enjoy them in spite of the windy weekend. Thank you.

Stay

I guess I have learned a lesson! On TV commercials VRBO advertise that you get the entire property. Had I read the listing closer I would’ve realized that we had the bottom of the home, which was fine but unexpected. I was very disappointed every night when two or three times a night the train went by and honked their horn! The linens were not as I expected but were adequate. Our hosts were nice.

Hi Karen It was great to meet you and have you stay at our place. It was a surprise to us that you didn’t like a few things. sorry. In the summer we use cooler - light sheets, and keep the warmer soft flannel sheets for the winter. Yes, the train, even though a ways away can honk their horn, especially if windows are open, we mention this in our description. Our place is very big at 4 bedrooms 1600 sq ft and 2.5 washrooms and we feel a GREAT PRICE of $150 a night (a May booking price) for your 8 adults each night on an acreage so close to town. Nothing we know is even close to that price. I am glad you found us nice, we try our best to do all we can to make it a great experience and keep our high rating.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Thomson

Host profile image
I am a pastor for 47 years and happily married for 47 years.
We have 4 married adult children and 14 adorable grandchildren.

We have lived on our acreage for over 30 years. Our children have grown up and have families on their own, so we converted the entire 1600 sqft - 4 bedroom - walk out lower floor of our house for nightly rental. Totally separate with a private entrance.
It can be rented as a
1 Bedroom
or a 2 Bedroom
or a 3 Bedroom, even a 4 bedroom if you have a large family.

We also love camping and when we are not using our RV Camper, we are listing it on VRBO for a Outdoor camping experience.

What option would you like to book?

Why they chose this property

We love being so close to town, but on a quiet acreage. Three minutes from Gasoline alley with Costco, many restaurants etc. And 3 minutes from the city of Red Deer. Large acreage, beautiful trees and grass.

What makes this property unique

Away from the city is wonderful. But close enough to the action.

There is a train track about 300 feet away. We are used to the whistle, but it can be a bit loud especially in the summer with windows open.
