Clean and Tidy
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!

Family Vacation
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.

Best place to stay south of Calgary
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.
