The hosts are amazing, the property is out of this world. We were comfortable, entertained, and enjoyed our stay. My son loved the fish in the pond, and the waterfall. We got to roast marshmallows and enjoy the scenery. Would love to go back and would highly recommend staying! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly B.

We cannot think of anytime on any holiday we have been more relaxed and at peace. The view,the home, the pool, the hot tub, the HiFi!!! If you want to get away from it all and just chill this is definitely the place. Robyn & Glen were excellent hosts and we could not have asked for more. We will look forward to returning and seeing Shamus & Patrick O'Bear again soon. ##### Ian H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura O. Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise! We spent 3 nights at the rental and the views are breathtaking! The owners are great with communication and easy to get ahold of. There is sooo much privacy and we loved all the little touches inside and out. Interesting and unique decorations inside and there are 2 large gardens, a pond with fish and a waterfall. We ate beets, carrots and some broccoli from the garden. We saw deer in the yard and a wild turkey. The rental is VERY well stocked with anything you may need. I’d recommend this property if you want a little trip to get away from it all and enjoy beautiful view and a great get away with all the comforts! ##### Laura O.

This was our first trip to the Canadian Rockies, and we weren’t sure what to expect but from the moment we arrived it felt like a home, not just a rental, it was extremely well stocked! The views from the pool were amazing, it was so peaceful and quiet, we mostly sat in the pool in silence soaking in the view. So much wildlife in the area and plenty of nearby hiking. The deck it set up perfectly to catch sunrise an amazing sunset overlooking the lake and river. The place was setup with tons of outdoor activities, unfortunately we hit a bad year with mosquitoes and couldn’t fully enjoy all the outdoor activities. We absolutely loved this place and will be back 100% ##### Josh H. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara B.
