About this property
11 Person Hot Tub, A/C, Arcade, Fire Pit, King Beds, 5 Min to Water,
This large, unique property is perfect for big family get togethers, wedding parties, stags and stagettes or sports teams. So much stuff for kids of all ages to do with a pet friendly, fully fenced yard.
Freshly renovated, generously stocked and with unmatched amenities (check the photos, we're not kidding).
We have the biggest hot tub in town, an 8 chair fire pit, fire table and a basement games room / arcade that is unmatched.
2 main floor bedrooms for those with limited mobility.
THE HUGE HOT TUB IS HERE! The 11 person 13 ft x 8 ft party spa has arrived. This special unit is one of a kind.
Now available as a short-term rental, the Lochlainn House has been updated with: - new memory foam mattresses on all beds with allergen resistant mattress/pillow enclosures and high end commercial sheets and duvets - ceiling mounted 75” Samsung UHD 4K TV with Sonos surround sound - access to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Paramount+, Sportsnet, TSN and Spotify subscriptions - second speaker zone for the patio - wireless/wired phone chargers throughout and included 1.5GB WiFi, suitable for up to 30 devices - power reclining sectional sofa with seating for 7+ - new furnace and central air conditioning - brand new fridge, gas range, dishwasher, washer and dryer - massive Napoleon natural gas stainless steel BBQ with infrared side burner (don't be scared of it, it's awesome) - air hockey table - foosball table - bubble hockey - 4 person classic arcade machine (with 150+ games) - 12 full sized arcade machines (inc 2 person Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee 2020 and Star Wars Trilogy) - fire pit in the yard with 8 Adirondack chairs - water filtration/softener system - garburator - commercial ice maker - fire table
We are pet friendly. The large, fully fenced yard keeps your little people and fur friends safe and contained.
The decks were recently rebuilt with high end PCV decking and aluminum railing. The top deck has a table with chairs around the fire table and access to the hot tub. The lower deck has a fully modular and adjustable outdoor sectional and table with seating for 9 with an additional 4 loungers. There is comfortable space and chairs for a total of 31 people (not a typo) in the yard with 4 tables (one most suitable for food staging and prep).
This is the premier big house rental in Sylvan Lake and we have aspirations for regular and continued improvement. Long lead time rentals will almost certainly find exciting new amenities at check in that didn't exist at booking.
Planned upgrades: - upstairs bedroom carpet replacement (Fall 2026) - room for one more basement arcade machine (looking for a 2 player Dance Dance Revolution, fingers crossed)
*A short note on cleaning fees. We're doing our best to keep this as low as possible, but we don't like short cuts here. The fee never covers our actual costs, which we are ok with. The house is big, with three full bathrooms and a lot of heavy linens. That takes time and it's important to us that you arrive with the house in a state you can feel comfortable with. Adding a modest pet fee is an effort to reduce costs for those without animals. We adore them too, but they have a material impact on cleanup costs.
We hope you join us this year, tell your friends, and keep coming back as the Lochlainn House gets better and better.
See you all soon.

About the host
Hosted by Mark McLaughlin
We're Calgary residents, and look for any excuse to get out the city for a weekend here and there to clear the head and recharge the soul. I'm originally a Toronto kid, moved west at 13 with the family and now consider myself a proper Alberta boy.
Why they chose this property
I've lived here for almost 20 years and never visited Sylvan Lake once until Canada Day 2021. The energy was infectious, and I started looking at properties and empty lots immediately. We had Lochlainn House before the end of that year. The original plan wasn't to get a place so big, but after our first walkthrough, it was clear this was the one. It had so much character, solid house bones, so much potential, and a great opportunity for a fun project to build something special.
What makes this property unique
Our goal really is to create a unique property with unique features you aren't going to find with any other Sylvan Lake rental property. Nobody else has an 11 person swim spa hot tub. Nobody else has a games room with a dozen full sized arcade machines, a foosball table, air hockey and a 4 person arcade machine with 150+ games. We have lots more big plans for the place. A list of upgrades and new amenities coming in 2026/2027.
