Was a great stay and the host was quick to respond at any point we had questions. The big screen projector was a nice touch. No complaints about our stay!

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! :)

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
