This property has 5 acres of wide open prairie in the stunning Foothills of southern Alberta. It is are 15 minutes (by car) from south Calgary and 7 minutes (by car) from the town of Okotoks. Sunsets from the deck are breathtaking. All amenities you can think of are available in both locations including eateries, groceries, boutiques, large scale city shopping and more. We are a 30 minute drive from downtown Calgary, and a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from the famous Rocky Mountains including Kananaskis, Banff and Canmore. A car is a necessity as local transit is not available in rural areas, however Uber does operate out to this area.
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!
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.
Had a great stay. Quiet area no issues!
We had a wonderful stay at the ranch house. Clean, specious and private!
Perfect spot for our family vacation! Close to Calgary, the stampede, Banff and drumheller - perfect and beautiful location.
Perfect place for our family, clean, well equipped, great communication with hosts, very helpful and generous!
Everyone commented on the peaceful nature of our stay - even the teens! Lots of room for indoor and outdoor play and the Kitchen is amazing! Lots of hands helping to make wonderful meals in the well equipped areas. We would all definitely recommend this home! Carol
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful country home which is located close to the city and yet provided a relaxing country experience. We will definitely consider rebooking next Fall.
Can’t wait to rent again!
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.
We had a great time hanging with our family at this place. Enough space inside and out for everyone.
The whole experience from booking to checking out was excellent. The location, the floor plan, amenities, yard were exactly what we needed as family with younger children. The main living area was perfect with high ceilings, large kitchen and eating area. The kitchen has pretty much everything you need to prepare food. The wrap around porch is huge along with the deck. We appreciate the hosts' hospitality and they were quick to respond. We will be repeat customers!
A wonderful family home for our family reunion! The kitchen was large and well equipped - perfect for preparing meals together. The kitchen table was huge and made an excellent spot for family card games. We really enjoyed our walks along the country roads and our visit to the Saskatoon Berry Farm. Communication with the hosts was excellent. What a great family gathering!
We wanted a quick weekend getaway for 3 generations of immediate family, and this was perfect, from the big dining table to the huge deck; we especially enjoyed the massive couch in the basement media room where a lively Netflicks trivia game was enjoyed by all, as well as the outing to the Saskatoon Farm which is only minutes away. THis is obviously a well loved family home only a short drive from Calgary, and we appreciated the excellent hospitality of our hosts. ALLERGY ALLERT - there is at least one dog who lives or spends a lot of time in the home.
