Amazing Ranch House in the Foothills
This is our 2nd stay at this property and it keeps getting better. The setting is incredible and the home is a perfect gathering place. Karis is a great host and if anything needs repair, Tim shows up in an instant. Great people, great property, great home! Can’t wait to come back again.

Awesome getaway!
Beautiful, quiet getaway, super well-stocked house! We loved it and would come back again! The only comment I would make is that I would have expected the pool area to have been swept/cleaned in anticipation of our arrival - we had to clean the water and significant fluffs off the pool cover to access the pool, took us over 30 minutes to figure out and execute. Nice warm pool with easy cover to use.

Amazing Stay
Property manager Tim went above and beyond to make the stay a core family memory for my sons 16th birthday! My son loves ranch life and Tim gave him a day in the life of a cowboy.
It warmed my hart as my son warms to few people. We would recommend the house, landscape and experience to all family’s looking for a get away.

Amazing Stay In The Foothills
This property is incredible. A perfect location close to Millarville and Okotoks and only 50min to south Calgary. The layout of the home is amazing the kitchen is an entertainers dream, just everything about this place is great. The backyard with the pool the walls among the horses, no one we have over to visit wanted to leave! And neither did we. We will be back! The support staff are very friendly and helpful we couldn’t have had a better visit with family thanks to this amazing gathering place. Thanks everyone!

Amazing Farmhouse- fun for the whole family!
Stunning house with room for the whole family! Large, well appointed bedrooms each with its own en-suite. Basement playroom with a pool table and air hockey kept the kids of all ages entertained for hours. Large heated pool and Hottub compete with pool floaties. Close to town but felt miles away.
We will definitely return!
