The house was in a perfect location; half way between Calgary and Banff. Ghost lake was beautiful and we swam daily. The wildlife around house was awesome!!

A lovely location w responsive host. A great base for seeing the area. One of the beds lacked cushioning so we made do with the others but overall accommodated our party of 12. We could not find the sofa bed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the wildlife in back yard. It was just a few steps to the lake from the great fire ring. Showers could have been cleaner, noted a bit of mold. The house had seen a lot of visitors prior to our party and we let the host know of damage we found. We appreciated the use of the property.

There were eight of us staying at the property. The furniture is very sparse, old, stained, and or broken. There is very little glassware and cutlery. On my first evening there, I had to eat my steak dinner with a spoon. There were only wine glasses and coffee cups, no other kind of glassware. Only 4 outside chairs, no patio table, except for a small, fold-up table. The hot tub had not been cleaned in a long time, so we could not use it. This is our 8 year of renting VRBOs all over BC and Alberta, and it was the worst experience to date. Especially for the money they charge, I would expect more. Do Not Book! the attached image sums it up.
