Fantastic home for large group
The home was beautiful, large and perfect for our group.. and the hosts were friendly, helpful and always reachable. The kids loved the room with the 6 beds and the Pacman machine. All kitchenwares were available: lots of coffee options, utensils, pots/pans, air fryer, griddle.. whatever you need they have it. Great location and very close to Fairmont resort and 10mins to ski area. Highly recommend!!!

Incredible!!
I can’t say enough about this property! It was clean, comfortable. The kitchen is so well equipped. It really felt like we were being hosted by a family, not just staying in a poorly equipped rental property. The amount of beds was MORE than ideal for our 14 person party. The proximity to Fairmont hot springs and ski hill was great, and we took the 2.2km hike that’s basically just out the front door! The hosts were amazing even before check in answering my questions about the valley area and stuff to do. Highly recommend!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at this charming home in Fairmont Hot Springs. The house was very welcoming and exactly as described in the listing. There’s plenty of beds, so everyone slept comfortably, lots of sitting areas. The kitchen was very well equipped with all we need. Check-in and out were well explained and didn’t ask us to do much. We couldn’t had have a better experience. We highly recommend this home! Thank you for a great stay Dan & Holly!

What an awesome place! Perfect for a large group as there was plenty of space for everyone and you could barely hear anyone once everyone settled into their respective bedrooms. The kitchen is super well stocked and have never been to a place with so many options even for a cup of coffee. Both front and back decks were well set up with space for our group to just sit and enjoy the wonderful scenery and quietness. We will certainly rent again as the Host was super responsive to our questions and the whole experience was incredible!

Kitchen had every conceivable utensil along with a generous supply of coffee, tea, assorted condiments. Dan and Holly were excellent to deal with and we wouldn't hesitate booking the property for future trips to the Fairmont area. Top notch all the way.

Perfect for a family trip
We came here from Miami to stay with our family from Calgary and we absolutely loved this home. It was a perfect size for 9 of us (and could have EASILY fit more), and everything was way more stocked than in any other space I've ever stayed it. The host was kind and responsive, and everything was just wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

5 stars in Fairmont!
Dan and Holly, Thank you so much for sharing your vacation property with us. From our very first interaction with you when we inquired about details, all the way through our stay, your communication was amazing, and as advertised, you had everything we were looking for. Our group had three families with 6 adults, and 7 kids between age 6 - 14. There was more than enough room on each floor, the studio was perfect to group the kids together, especially with the Pac-Man arcade machine, and the basement was perfect for the teens with the air hockey table. With so many TVs the kids were able to hook up devices like Nintendo and Xbox. For the adults, the front porch was a huge hit in morning and evenings, we loved the Adirondack chairs overlooking the deck. The ladies loved the coffee bar, and you had absolutely every amenity required in the kitchen (air fryer, Insta pot, ninja blender) and a stocked pantry. Our group could not have asked for more. An absolutely ideal location next to the hot springs, many golf courses including a very friendly Creek River that allowed kids to play, and hiking trails. Thank you for opening your home to us, we hope to be back in the future!

We had several families stay here to celebrate our grandma. Every aspect of our stay here was great. Beautiful house. Awesome for larger groups. It was clean. They had everything you could possibly need. Awesome for families and kids. Perfect location in Fairmont - hot springs, great hiking nearby, beautiful rivers to explore, grocery store, coffee shop and ice cream a couple minutes walk away. Dan and Holly were great to communicate with - clear, timely, gracious and kind. We all very much enjoyed our stay and would book here again!

No shortage of beds and space!
Hosts were fantastic with helping us when needed with a vehicle issue and very responsive. Best experience we have had with online vacation rentals! The house was great for our party of 11 and we could have easily had another family join us and still have space! Had every appliance you could want and 2 massive tables (kids table and an adult table made for such peaceful dinners!) We will be back for sure!

Amazing vacation!
Hard to summarize how much we enjoyed our stay at Mountainside Retreat! Communication with the hosts was excellent from beginning to end! The home was beautiful and very clean! We especially loved the kids loft/studio area that came with its own mini fridge, fireplace, large flat-screen TV and Pac Man game! The master bedroom was huge, with a deep soaker tub in the ensuite! The games room with air hockey table and another large TV was a great place for the kids! The 2 living rooms & 2 dining areas on the main floor provided so much space to do so many things! Not to mention the coziness that the wood burning stove provided (along with a ton of pre-chopped firewood)! The owners thought of everything, providing so many little things we ourselves had forgotten to pack, but came in so handy! There were tons of towels, even large beach/hotsprings ones! There were 3 different kinds of coffee makers (drip, Keurig & espresso machine) and even the pucks were included! There was every kind of cooking gadget needed, even an air fryer, crockpot, griddle, etc! Every cupboard or closet we opened had something useful in it! The FOUR bathrooms was such a bonus, as there were 14 of us, and no one ever had to wait to use one! Best of all was the location! 2 mins to the grocery store, 5 mins to the hotsprings, 10 mins to the ski hill, and beautiful walks in a forested area right out our front door!! We can hardly wait to come back to this place... maybe next time in the summer so we can take advantage of the large veranda on the front with beautiful views, and the back patio/BBQ area! Thank you for everthing Dan & Holly!!

Very nice house with lots of room
It was very easy to deal with Dan. He was very helpful from our booking date to end of our stay. The house has lots of room. We enjoyed the wood stove, which warms up very quickly. Three TVs had plenty of channels so we could watch the World Cup games. We recommend this property to other guests, especially bigger groups.
