The patio was king. Kicking back with a mountain view was most relaxing.I had a few issues with the lock box at first, but it was dark.Shower was great. It had a modern setup I'd never seen before.We couldn't get the wifi password to work.Overall, loved the stay. Will come again if we need to stay in Calgary.

Nice location at the edge of town. Bed sheets and towels could have been newer. They were clean but very old. If you’re looking for budget friendly, this works. Backyard and covered por h was nice as wellt

The property was easy to find , comfortable and clean. We let ourselves in and enjoyed a view of the mountains from the back deck . The road out the back door was pretty busy however. This may calm down once construction in the neighborhood finished.

Beautiful view of pasture, cattle and mountains.Sadly the small back yard, in front of this beautiful view, was unkept and needed some care and attention.Household noise from the floor above was a factor at night in the bedroom. But, a lot of the conversation consisted of laughter, so kind of hard to be negative about that.

We had a great stay here! It felt right at home. Love the projector that makes it feel like you’re in a movie theatre. I will say however that the microwave was too small to make a bag of popcorn which kind of sucked but we brought other snacks. And there is no mixing bowls or a hot plate or pots or pans to make food. There is a small grill outside which is nice but a little hard to make a side dish or anything. It was no different than staying in a hotel though with more features than a normal hotel so overall I would definitely recommend staying here! The owner was also great to communicate with. She texted back very quickly and solved any issue we came across!

Fantastic short or long term stay!

Work training brought me into Cochrane for several weeks, could not be happier that I chose this location for accomodations! Saurabh truly goes above and beyond as a host. I often worked 6 days a week and their laundry drop off service saved me a tremendous amount of time and stress! More than once I was given wonderful home cooked meals which served me the next day for packed lunches as well. Their help allowed me to focus on training and I feel like my work performance boost really showed! Truly thank you for the wonderful stay! :)

The inside pics accurately depict the place, it was clean & we enjoyed the free coffee. They also offered to loan us 2 cans of bear spray which was awesome (& not needed) and we left those for future renters. The big issue we had was lack of correct information & communication. There was no honesty bar which I only found out after I asked if I should pay in Canadian or US dollars. No issue with it not being there, but delete that part from the description of the unit.The biggest disappointment was the Wi-Fi. The wi-fi information was wrong. It didn't have the correct Wi-Fi name nor the correct password. The 2 of us searched AT&T and Verizon's coverage map before the trip and thought we had cell service. But we didn't. So when we got to the unit and tried to connect, the Wi-Fi wasn't listed and we couldn't message the owner. Luckily the upstairs was being rented out and they let us connect to their Wi-Fi. Otherwise, we would have been in a bad situation. When I messaged the owner, they said "I am not sure why VRBO is sending old instructions". Disappointing as there is no reason not to have correct information (honesty bar & something as critical as Wi-Fi) and then blame VRBO for misinformation. The outside lawn was overgrown but they did get it mowed while we were there but no weed wacking/trimming and still 4 foot tall weeds in the bed. The firepit looked nothing like it did in the pictures.
