Underwhelming experience!
Lovely location! Beautiful view from the deck! Master bedroom TV and basement TV not working, issues with connection and remotes missing. We were group of 11 people, and wifi access was limited upto only 4 devices was quite an inconvenience. Issues with Dishwasher, soap dispenser Broken, dishes didn't clean properly. None of the locks on bathroom doors worked. However spacious house with plenty of room for all of us. Check in and check out was smooth.

Poor upkeep of the property
Property was in a good location and kept clean. We wanted to make a family memory during our 3 nights stay at this place, however it was a not a pleasant experience staying inside. Washroom latches and TV connection in basement not working. The washroom drains were clogged; We tried using the plunger, reaching out to the contact points of Manager for immediate attention, but response came on Day 2. Only on day 3 we got someone come over to fix but that too partially. We experienced inconvenience with Wifi limited to 5 devices as this limitation was not mentioned in the listing. Some basic things like utensil cleaning scrub/sponge, Sugar was not available. We requested some compensation for inconvenience, but no response till date...

About the host

Hosted by Gabriel Higham

Host profile image
We are Calgarian's that love the KHMR/Goden 'Kicking Horse Country' area and have been enjoying recreation opportunities here for >10 years. We purchased this home from the family that built the house in 2008 and that lived in it as their primary residence. We use the home ourselves all winter, but entertain some summer rentals so that tenants can all that the area has to offer and to help house families attending KHMR weddings.

Why they chose this property

It'a an incredible family ski resort home, built by a family, for families. It's tough to beat morning coffee watching the sun peak over the mountains, or evening sunsets with your favourite beverage in the hot tub. A short walking distance (300m) to KHMR restaurants and amenities. Enjoy the summer resort amenities like the Grizzly Bear refuge, gondola accessed ridge hikes and a 'Sky Lunch' or the incredible local mountain biking trails, popular hiking trails (Gorman Lake), and swimming at Cedar Lake. The Kicking Horse Country area offers amazing rivers for rafting and kayaking summer. It's rarely crowded (especially mid-week) and is only 30 minutes to Yoho National Park and 60 minutes to Lake Louise and Banff National Park. Why not pay less, get more and stay at KHMR vs. Canmore?

What makes this property unique

We have one of the best views from our hot tub in the entire Resort! It is on the main level deck with amazing views of both the Rocky and Selkirk Mountain Ranges. Extremely flexible bedding configuration to accommodate individuals, couples and mixed groups, especially families.
We have everything you need to make the trip easier when traveling with young kids! We have a plastic cups/plates, kids books, toys (LEGO, Duplo, Thomas the Train sets, toy cook set, cars, books, etc.). Apple TV in the basement media/play area.
