Space, space and more space! This home is loving referred as the "Ranche" because there is so much space! A great place for multiple families to convene and enjoy the Calgary Stampede, Banff and the mountains as well as the beautiful rolling Foothills of Alberta. The property is located in a rural location on 5 acres of land, but still within minutes to all amenities outside of Okotoks or South Calgary. A car is required. You will be able to spread out here with room for everyone.
A farm table seats 10, a huge kitchen with all amenities, and a wrap around veranda and extended deck space perfect for summer barbeques. The home boasts in floor heating, a second mini-kitchen in the basement and well as many other upgrades and renovations for modern yet comfortable stay.
This home comfortably sleeps 8 adults in king or queen sized beds with soft duvets and pillow tops. There is additional pull out bedding if required (double air mattress on frame and / or single twin roll away with memory foam mattress) for up to 10. Please note there is an extra $20 pp / night charge for reservations with over 10 persons due to extra cleaning required.

This property has 5 acres of wide open prairie in the stunning Foothills of southern Alberta. It is 10 minutes (by car) from south Calgary and 7 minutes (by car) from the town of Okotoks. Sunsets from the deck are breathtaking. All amenities you can think of are available in both locations including eateries, groceries, boutiques, large scale city shopping and more. We are a 30 minute drive from downtown Calgary, and a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from the famous Rocky Mountains including Kananaskis, Banff and Canmore. A car is a necessity as local transit is not available in rural areas, however Uber does operate out to this area.

We were very happy with our visit, the property was perfect for our family during a wedding and related events. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious (4 adults and 2 young children). The location was picturesque: just a short drive to all the amenities, yet far enough outside the city to enjoy peace and calm. We will definitely book again the next time we’re in the Calgary area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at The Ranche! The communication before and during our stay was great, the check-in process extremely easy, and our overall stay perfect. The house was a great set-up for our two families and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed our time at the Calgary Stampede, visited four of the national parks, and took in the local sites of Bar U Ranch and Saskatoon Farms. We will gladly stay here again if we make a trip back to the Calgary area!
Seven girlfriends stayed for 3 nights. The home Was Comfortable, cozy, and well equipped. The fire pit is an added bonus however, the weather didn’t cooperate and we were unable to enjoy the outdoor experience. We were happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Ranche with 2 of our 3 adult children, spouses & grandkids. There were 5 adults & 6 children ranging in age from 2 - 12 yrs old. The house provided good sleeping arrangements for everyone & the yard had ample space for the kids to run around or jump on the trampoline. Short drive for us to take day trips to the Calgary Zoo, Granary Road & Okotoks rec centre. The upstairs bedrooms were a quite warm for sleeping the first night (+30°C that night) but with the ceiling fans going & the wind blowing the rooms finally cooled down to a comfortable level. We had a great time here & would definately stay again.
There was a couple of issues but overall a beautiful home! No firewood was available so we had to go buy some and there was no first aid kit on site which was an issue that we had but had one in my vehicle. Lastly watch out for pokey plants in the yard, dog got one in her paw and was not happy. The home was clean and tidy and had all the supplies we needed to make our meals. Would definetly stay here again! Loved the hammoch personally!
Myself and my party of 9 (2 seniors, 4 adults, 3 kids) really enjoyed staying at the Ranch. The drive was a bit far but the scenery was amazing. We drove through beautiful farmland, it was amazing!. To get to the closest big grocery store was about 15-20min drive into the city, which was convenient as we would drop by the grocery store first before returning to the house to make dinner. Calgary downtown/Stampede was about a 35-40min drive from the Ranch. We also drove to Drumheller which was about a 2hr drive but through amazing farmland scenery again. One complaint that we had was upon arrival, we noticed a lot of pet hair on the floor in the main living area, which we swept up right away and used the convenient vacuum to tidy up, as well as a lot of fur in the primary bedroom on the bed.
We overall had an amazing time at the ranch. The kids loved the trampoline in the back and the fire pit was a delight (really helped with the mosquitoes).
Everyone commented on the peaceful nature of our stay - even the teens! Lots of room for indoor and outdoor play and the Kitchen is amazing! Lots of hands helping to make wonderful meals in the well equipped areas. We would all definitely recommend this home!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful country home which is located close to the city and yet provided a relaxing country experience. We will definitely consider rebooking next Fall.
Phenomenal place, location, and owner. The house is very spacious and nicely designed in a welcoming, relaxing way. Beds were very comfortable, and kitchen had everything we could've wanted. It was the perfect location for us to explore the town of High River, The Bar U Ranch, Waterton Lakes National Park, Banff National Park, and Calgary. I recommend taking the owner's advice and visiting Saskatoon Farm, which had the best Saskatoon pie in the area. And the owner was great at communicating with us and answering any questions we had. An overall superb place.
The whole experience from booking to checking out was excellent. The location, the floor plan, amenities, yard were exactly what we needed as family with younger children. The main living area was perfect with high ceilings, large kitchen and eating area. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need to prepare food. The wrap around porch is huge along with the deck. We appreciate the hosts' hospitality and they were quick to respond. We will be repeat customers!
A wonderful family home for our family reunion! The kitchen was large and well equipped - perfect for preparing meals together. The kitchen table was huge and made an excellent spot for family card games. We really enjoyed our walks along the country roads and our visit to the Saskatoon Berry Farm. Communication with the hosts was excellent. What a great family gathering!
We wanted a quick weekend getaway for 3 generations of immediate family, and this was perfect, from the big dining table to the huge deck; we especially enjoyed the massive couch in the basement media room where a lively Netflicks trivia game was enjoyed by all, as well as the outing to the Saskatoon Farm which is only minutes away. THis is obviously a well loved family home only a short drive from Calgary, and we appreciated the excellent hospitality of our hosts. ALLERGY ALLERT - there is at least one dog who lives or spends a lot of time in the home.
The house and surroundings were great. Well equipped, lots of space and 'home'. ]The owner was quick with replies and messages. This is a great place for a group or family.
House is a great size, and a huge kitchen for cooking while you're here. It is close enough to Okotoks and Calgary that you can plan activities there while also being in a more rural setting. The only downside is the beds are on the harder side, which can get uncomfortable of you're staying for a longer time.
Home away from home. A very pleasant, welcoming house. With multiple needs within our group, the layout was perfect. We enjoyed family meals at the dining table. Quiet time was easy to find in different areas and the deck outside was beautiful. A loved and happy home! Good communications with the owners was the icing on the cake ! Thank you for a great experience!
