Entertainment. Spa was a big hit.

Property was lovely. House was very big with enough rooms. Upstairs our voices echoed without any sound proofing. Lower level a bit weird with the open ceiling. Voices really carried between rooms. I personally did not enjoy my final night there with the rodents in the wall with their clawing and chewing ALL NIGHT long. Had to find a friend to let me bunk up with at 3:00. Thought for sure the rodents would be coming through the drywall.

Bachelor party - Success

This property was kept in perfect condition. Amenities were exactly as described. We could not have hoped for a better time at the Ranch. Staff were also incredibly helpful with locating a lost wallet after departure; they even sent it priority mail to the guest. Thanks CVB, its been a pleasure.

Family time together

As a family we were very happy with all the different aspects of the home which met many different interests within our family. We were also comfortable with the fact that the hosts were on site yet not visible to us. They were also very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. Thanks for the wonderful experience we were able to enjoy.

Review

Property is nice with beautiful views. However, we did not have a good experience afterwards with communications with the management team. We felt we were treated quite unfairly and that dampened our overall experience with the property.

Modern mansion was a dream come true

Three generations, including three married couples so all our 3 granddaughters had their own room. We were there over Christmas and it was nice to have the tree and other decorations done by our hosts. The dining room was large enough for the 9 of us (but would have seated 12). The 2 dishwashers and huge fridge with freezer were essential and there was another fridge in the basement. During our 5 night stay we used almost all the amenities - theatre room, pool table, arcade basketball, sauna and other spa features. We had one dog with us and there were many places outside of the property to walk her (and ourselves). For the price, I don't think there is another place in the province of Alberta that is this large and with this many exceptional features.

Property manger sent frivolous invoice 2 weeks after stay.

The property managers sent an invoice without discussing prior and have not explained what the invoice was for. On VRBO, hosts can invoice guests and the card gets charged automatically, with merit or not.

Getaway

Pictures show great however, Floors were swept but filthy dirty as they turned white socks black very quickly. Portable air conditioning unit for 9000sq ft does absolutely no good. Ad says AC Ad states playground, which there is no playground at this location. Many things in the house were broken -theatre seating, only 2 out of the 4 seats reclined, complete faucet on small sink in kitchen was not attached. Shelf downstairs and pool cue rack falling off the wall This property has seen a fair bit of abuse and very little to no maintenance.

Looks nice on surface, beware of bugs, no AC

The property looks nice on the surface, but beware that going in summer isn't a great idea if it's hot outside. There's no AC and we're told to open the windows for the breeze. The issue is that there are a swarm of bugs that will infest the house if you do so. One bedroom was completely unusable as they invaded the bed, walls, floors etc. There was also some plumbing issues that cause leakage in one of the other bedrooms. The spa room and theater are great but it's too bad that certain parts of the experience ruined the vacation for members of the family that were in the affected rooms.

Cool property in the prairie

This was a great experience for our family - the accommodations were enjoyed by everyone. We had some 14 people and there was plenty of space for everyone to hang out during the day and evening around the fire pit. Spectacular prairie scenery.

Perfect Wedding Venue

We booked CVR as the perfect place for our wedding and perfect it was! Between the space available for camping and all of the rooms in the house we were able to accommodate almost all of our guests overnight. The gorgeous landscape was the perfect backdrop for our outdoor wedding ceremony (so many stunning photos!) and the patio area was perfect for the dinner and dance. We are so happy we chose CVR and would highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for an even centre or weekend get away! Jen & Bryan

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!

My friends and I booked this property for a weekend getaway, and it didn't disappoint! The house was beautiful inside and outside, and it looked just like it does in the pictures! We loved all of the activities that were available within the house such as the spa room, the theatre, the games, and the fire pit!

Hello,

I'm Sawyer, the property manager for Carbon Valley Ranch.

Why they chose this property

There are simply no words to justify the versatile, heart-warming, wholesome experiences the ranch provides at any time of year, inside and out. The breath-taking scenery of the Kneehill Valley goes on for miles beyond the backyard, with not a soul to be seen - it feels yours to explore. The ranch is built with 14 foot windows, so you're never far from a stunning sunset, endless varieties of wildlife and frequent meteor showers.

Inside the property there is something for everyone, independently and together. After a long walk, swim or skate along the creek, you can let loose in the Japanese Spa whilst the kids are in the theatre room, then come together around one of our two kitchen areas and fireplaces for some dinner or a game of scrabble. Why not have a dance party with our built-in music system, dance floor and disco lights?

That's the thing about Carbon Valley Ranch, you're guaranteed to leave with life-long memories. Whether you're a couple looking for a rejuvenating getaway, a family looking for a mind-opening stay-cation, or even a business group seeking an adaptable retreat spot, your stay will always be extraordinary.

What makes this property unique

Environment, rural views, spa room, Japanese spa bath, theatre room, gym, dance floor and projector, large industrial kitchen, and more.
