Amazing!
We loved the privacy and natural surroundings. We went later in the season and still saw hummingbirds. The kids basically lived in the pool.

Perfect spot to return!
My family had our third year out at this beautiful property. Every time we come the garden offers different delicious treats. We relax and enjoy the pool and nearby lake, and are so grateful to have this spot to return to.

Hidden Gem!
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%

It is difficult to describe the feelings we have for this property. 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.
