A Great Christmas
From the moment we arrived our host made sure that any wants or needs were taken care of. So fast to respond to any questions. The accommodations more than met our expectations and therefore making it a memorable Christmas! Loved the fact that we could cook our turkey just like home. Well stocked kitchen. Our kids and grandchildren joined us for an amazing time. Again just like home! We were blessed by visiting with a few of the neighbors, who were the best and welcomed us. The location is easy to find and accessible to where you want to go in Cochrane. We're already considering the next visit. Thank you again for opening up your home!

Beautiful townhome
My family and I had a great stay here, the home was beautiful and clean. They offered things to enjoy your stay a little more like board games, a DVD collection, a BBQ, as well as a garage to park in which would be very handy in the middle of winter. We had a problem that occurred while there with the water but we contacted the owners and immediately they answered and tried to resolve the matter and we’re very apologetic and sorry that there was an issue. Overall such a great stay.

Plenty of room for four people and the two and a half baths made things very convenient. All those stairs might be a problem for some people but we did not have a problem.

Excellent stay
Place is great, good location on outskirts of town so you can get on highway to the mountains quickly. The house has everything you will need for an extended stay, including Tupperware and more place settings than you will need. Bedding is super comfortable as well, not worn out or musty. There are a lot of stairs in the layout but my family found the extra separation between rooms and living areas helpful if someone is napping. Overall a great choice to stay in Cochrane!

Our past experience with VRBO stays have been so much better. We waited over an hour to be able to check in. The cleaning staff asked for an extra 30 minutes which ended up as 40. Our key code was wrong and after repeated messaging, we got a response after we tried for 30 minutes of variations of the numbers. We finally keyed in by changing the sequence. The place is very worn and grubby. The price does reflect that. However, the bedding was clean and fresh. Lots of equipment and toys for children. Both upstairs bedrooms have ensuites. Parking for a truck is tight with very limited parking for guests. The heat went out one night so we were in touch at a reasonable time the next morning. It got so cold that we had to turn the oven on and eat breakfast in front of it. The repair guy came around 4:30 that afternoon. I found communication to be less than stellar.

Dog mom Getaway
The rental itself was good. The one downside that the pictures don’t show is the backyard area. The pet policy mentions that dog must be on leash when outside, which for us was hard to do because of the 2 big dogs who like to remain outside. There is a picture showing the view from the back deck, but the yard of the rental itself is shared with the other townhomes. Cleaning process to check out was simple, and the location was close to the town and close to get into Banff/Canmore.

Excellent Experience
This rental is very well located. We had easy access to Calgary and the surrounding areas. There were lots of toys, games and items for children of all ages - definitely family friendly. There is good separation of bedrooms with two having an en-suite. As it is a townhouse, there are a good amount of stairs which wasn't a problem for us but something to keep in mind if mobility is an issue. The property manager was very responsive and clearly cares about your experience. We would recommend and rent again in the future. Cheers!!
