    Great Vrbo for a weekend getaway, easy to get to from Calgary. River access was great and the covered deck area was perfect.

    The main part of the house was absolutely beautiful. And accurately described. The owners were VERY responsive and accommodating. They even did a little shopping for us the day before we came in. However we were a little underwhelmed with the downstairs bedrooms. When you walk into the house you are walking into one of the bedrooms (no privacy). The other bedroom with the two full beds and a single bed were situated in what I would call a “screened in porch”, pretty much outside. Other than that it was a wonderful place, very spacious, well kept and clean. I would stay again.

    Waiporous Village Get Away

    Property was in a beautiful location off of Ghost River. It was a great property for getting away with family and still being in driving distance of Banff, Canmore, and Banff National Park. It was quiet and secluded in a rural area. We saw deer daily as we were out and about.

    Canada Paradise

    We loved the seclusion & beauty. Ghost river & mountain views. Everything well stocked. Screened in porches with tables, chairs, gas grill, & fire pit. The only downside for 2 of us in our mid 70's was the number of steps in & out of the home.

    Breath of fresh air

    We held a surprise 50th birthday celebration for a weekend. This place was perfect for us. It is uniquely spacious and beautiful. We loved the screened outdoor living spaces (was necessary as it rained for 2 days straight), loved the fire pit area and path to the look out point near the river. So incredibly beautiful and serene. The home is very clean and had everything we needed - even for a larger gathering / BBQ. The host was quick to reply to all my questions leading up to our stay there. We will be back to stay here in the future.

    Bad experience

    The place was so far away but the shower was accidentally broken by my friends daughter. Which resulted in several deep cuts all over her body. The owner even questioned us of being drunk. The owner did not even ask us if we had gone to the hospital all he was concerned about was the broken glass. And the shower handle was already detached when we arrived.

    Overall a great place, lots of room, but just a heads up that the place is very remote and far from other places.
