Perfect!
This is the cutest little basement suite for a stay in Cochrane. Ample on-street parking in a quiet neighbourhood. We didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed well stocked and nicely equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the entire unit was super clean (and I’m a clean freak!). Highly recommend this property!

Little spa
Had a great stay, very nice place. The host was very nice and friendly. Good communication
We rented this property for one night at the end of a 5 night, 6 day golf trip. The basement suite was very nicely appointed and decorated in a safe neighborhood only 5 minutes from the Gleneagles golf course. The 2 bedrooms were comfortable with lots of outlets to plug in your media devices. Oleg was very receptive and replied to our questions quickly and efficiently. The only issue we had was that the sofa bed in the living room was not overly comfortable.
Overall, this would be an ideal get away for up to 2 couples or adults to enjoy a quiet getaway while golfing or visiting the Cochrane area.

Hidden Gem
This place is just what we were looking for, out of the hustle and bustle of Calgary and Banff/Canmore, but close enough to do day trips in the region. It's a bit more driving but the mountain views on the way make up for it. The park's pass provided was a really nice touch, it's an expense we didn't have to pay and worth saving some time waiting in line at the park entrance! Glen Eagle golf course is just a couple minutes drive and definitely worth checking out, one of the more interesting course layouts I've seen which makes it challenging but fun!
The place itself was great, it's a walkout basement with large windows and high ceilings which makes it feel very open and not like a basement at all. The products the hosts provided were very nice, much better quality than anything we've experienced from a hotel. Plus they have some basic spices and condiments which was a nice touch for the home cooked meals we did. They also have some board games which was something different to do instead of just watching tv. We also used the Sauna which was great after a few long days of activities to relax at the end of the day.
The local community feels like a small town. We went out to a few local restaurants and didn't have any issues finding parking or having to wait for a table.
Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone and it's at the top of our list for future visits to the area!

Wonderful place.
This was a well appointed rental place. The unit is downstairs, but the unit was very quiet, bright, and comfortable inside. There was a slight delay in check-in, but I am sure that that was an unusual circumstance. I highly recommend the place.
We enjoyed our stay a lot! Very clean, quiet and comfortable with easy access to the mountains by car. We appreciated all the thoughtful special touches the hosts prepared to make our stay memorable. Quick and responsive, and the sauna was an added perk after a cold day in the mountains! Highly recommend.
The lodge is very spacious with 2 bedrooms, the living area is above ground with beautiful backyard, the two bedrooms are half underground (since the lodge is built on a slope). It is clean and with all necessary facilities. Regarding the location, it depends on what you are looking for, it is a little bit far from the Banff National Park, but it is very close to the Calgary city area, which gives you variety of shopping/eating choices with reasonable price. The only small improvement needed is that, the latches / locks in the bedroom doors and bathroom door can be installed more properly or professionally. The overall feedback is that it is very good, and highly recommended.//Ben Long Yang
