Walking distance to the beach, immense yard. Close to hot springs and easy food in both directions. We loved the night time fire pit within a wide mountain valley looking up to see bats swooping around just after sunset, followed by a clear sky full of stars. It was dark enough we could see the Milky Way. Great vacation to remember with the kids!

Amazing backyard, great location

The cozy cottage was situated on a fantastic property with a lot of outdoor sitting space, a fire pit and plenty of green space to play games. The location was great, nice and close to the water and an easy drive into town. The owners were easily accessible and quick to return texts/emails. Very nice vacation!

Nice little property set in a big, well fenced yard. We have a reactive dog and we needed somewhere that there was little stimulation and lots of space. This place fit the bill perfectly.

A great place to stay for an active family

The house was excellent. We spent most of our time hanging out in the kitchen when we were there, but the living room was extremely cozy also. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen appliances were brand new. There was a little porch that we could store our ski equipment in. Lots of parking and a huge yard. A really cute neighbourhood that we walked around after we were done skiing. I will stay here next time I’m back in this area for sure.

We love the place, this is our 2nd or 3rd time staying.The only thing we had trouble with was the front door. The deadbolt is not aligned with the hole and we could not lock it. Also, we had trouble getting the key out upon arrival, we had to google in order to figure out how to open the realtor lock.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jan 2025
Sorry you had trouble with the deadbolt, it might be the cold weather has it misaligned? I will check into it. To validate it was the deadbolt for the porch door, not the one for the main inside door for the cabin? Thanks Tim

Rustic retreat

The check in process was nice and easy and the property is in a great location, close to the beach and has a huge yard with great mountain views - very peaceful! The property has everything you could need with comfortable beds and plenty of towels and linens. A few small points of consideration/ improvement - the doors are quite difficult to open with the key, I'm not sure why, it does require some patience though. The dishwasher requires wheeling out of its spot and attaching the hose to the sink - this isn't ideal. While the property is large and peaceful, it does need some TLC/ deep cleaning in areas. Finally on the last day we were required to drive our garbage out to the landfil - this surprised us as we've never had to do this before at vacation rentals - perhaps this is normal for the area though. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to others .

Cute little house. Was equipped with everything we needed. Host was very responsive for couple tiny issues. Only suggestion and why I docked half a star is please get curtains for the bedrooms that block some light. We had to tape up blankets as the current blinds block nothing. Also one ac unit worked well but it was rainy so I think if it was hot the bunk room would be hot. Great stay though and would stay again.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for your review. Wish you had less rainy weather. Blackout blinds are being put up today in the bedroom. Being in the mountains, the cool nighttime temperatures usually allows the house to cool off. There is a second cooling unit that is installed for hot stretchs. Thanks Tim

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing in the Windermere Valley for over 30 years. My parents loved it so much they retired here. We hope visitors enjoy the Valley as much as we have.

What makes this property unique

This property is in a quiet location, 5 minute walk from the Lake with 360 degree views of the mountains. Windermere is a beautiful, relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of Calgary.
