Great Area

Good House for large groups. We love Timber Ridge. Can't beat the location and beach area. The house is well equipped. It could use a bit of TLC but overall was really quite good.

As described

The property was as described and similar to the other reviews we had seen. The furnishings are dated and covers worn/stained but generally clean. The upside is we were comfortable as the home was "lived in", we didn't need to be too concerned with the kids wrecking something.We had some minor issues, the host addressed them quickly.We were disappointed there wasn't enough wood for a fire inside or outside and that the driveway and deck weren't shovelled off.Overall the property was a good value.

Family Vacation for 13

The house was beautiful and the perfect size for our family! The photos are a little misleading, as it looks like the house is not in a neighborhood. But there are houses right nextdoor on either side. The beach is a good mile away, walking on the trail, but only a five minute drive in the car. Kitchen is well stocked and had pretty much anything you'd need to cook or make. Would stay here again!

Great Location

My wife and I as well as my son and spouse and 2 yr old and my daughter and spouse and 7 and 3 yr old booked for one week. The location is perfect - minutes to Kinsmen Beach or even closer is the private beach that is part of the rental. It was very hot (+30) everyday we were there which meant for great beach weather but hot evenings as there is no a/c. The house was outfitted with plenty of towels and the kitchen is well-appointed.

Great multi family stay

Property, privacy, location were a hit with the family. Luxury it is not. Comfortable family cabin with plenty of rooms, bathrooms and function. Well worn but that was part of the charm that it wasn’t too buttoned up that you couldn’t relax and the price was right. We hope to be back next year. Communication with owners was seamless and they were quick to respond. Thank you.

Awesome property

We'd like to thank the owners for such an amazing property to call home for 4 days. This home has fabulous options for the number of rooms, beds and bathrooms for families or a large group of friends. Our group of golfers will be booking this home for our trip next September.

Our Stay on February

The view and the location was great, lots of dishes and towels and had a nice stay.It was a big house and lots of room for families.this house not only good for winter it is good for summer as well The only issue was: Some dishes in the cabinet had food residue on them and most of the mugs have stain which was not nice.The drainage of the en suite bathroom had issue and water stock there . Generally we enjoyed our satay and will go back next time

Pretty good trip

Beautiful home, Great location , a bit dated. Two things that all the group didn’t like it: - lighting in the main floor( very yellow, not in half, very dark) - very poor ventilation in the main floor( as soon as we cook something all the house was smelling for few hours). Apart of that all the rest was perfect. We will come back yes. Great property and great hostess . Thank you very much

Wedding in Invermere

We were in Invermere for our daughter’s wedding. My husband and I along with some other family members stayed at Timber’s Den for 5 nights. It suited our needs perfectly! It was close to town, only 20 minutes from the wedding venue and only a short drive away from other wedding guests and family, beaches, shopping and golf. The property was very spacious, well appointed and having 3 bathrooms was a definite bonus! The kitchen was very well stocked, the deck was huge and although there was a huge fire pit in the backyard, due to the fire ban, we were unable to take advantage of it. Our only suggestion would be for more/brighter lighting as we found it felt a bit dark inside. Otherwise, we would definitely recommend staying here.

Good, not great

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but as mentioned by some other reviews there are definitely a few things that need some upgrades/updating for a luxury property. A few appliances were broken or not fully working (i.e. stove burners that didn't work, broken handle on the freezer), the showers had some mold in them that needs to be addressed and for a winter stay, the furnace didn't adequately heat the house - heavier duvets would also have been nice. (Also note that there's no pool as listed in the amenities.) That being said, the layout of the property handled our group of nine well, the kitchen was well stocked and the owners were very responsive to all our inquiries!

Great stay, Great house, wonderful hosts

8 of us stayed here and there is plenty of space. Beautiful home although in some ways a little beat up. The yard is spectacular with plenty of space to play and a gorgeous firepit. There are accordion doors which would be amazing however with no screen to drop down you just invite all levels of flying creatures into your stay. Hosts are fantastic and communicate well although despite us staying on off days (Friday to a Monday - meaning likely there wouldn't be anyone coming or leaving the days we arrived/left there was no room to accomodate any early/late check in/out. Suggestion for cleaning would be to provide something better than a cornbroom to sweep the hardwood. Would also be great to see some fans in the home as it becomes very warm with no a/c. Beach access is great and very beautiful. Nice to not have to deal with the mass crowds as you would on the public beaches. Overall wonderful stay though and would stay again. Hosts are very nice it seems and the house is good. Good value for the cost.

Nice Property, Poor Managment

Although the property itself was very nice, location was great and a lot of room for 8 women I had a really hard time communicating with the owners. I found it difficult to plan this trip for 8 friends when I didn't receive emails or confirmations back. The contract was not sent until a few days prior to our departure and I still have not received the damage deposit back and we are going on 3 weeks since out stay. I have also sent 3 emails with regards to the damage deposit - still nothing, so I am a little disgruntled. The kitchen was fully stocked, more than necessary as we didn’t have a free cupboard to store our groceries and we found the kitchen to be more like "someone’s" kitchen rather than a rental property. (Needs to be de-cluttered and cleaned out). Best part of the property was the wonderful backyard and upper deck area.

Great place for a family getaway

The property was exactly as listed. The kitchen is large, which worked well for us as we had 3 families staying. The backyard is a large with a covered deck which was put to good use. There were multiple bedrooms and bathrooms with an extra fridge, microwave, etc in the basement. There is a large dining table which worked well for our families and it was nice to have an open space in the kitchen/dining/ living area. We utilized the private beach as well, which was wonderful. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything from cleaning supplies, to spices, to coffee and more. The only downside to this home is that there is no AC and only two fans provided by the hosts. The temperatures the week we stayed ranged from 32-39 degrees with lots of sun and the house was uncomfortably hot and made sleeping hard for all. We utilized the large patio doors with automatic screens and attempted to get as much of a cross breeze as possible but when there’s no wind and the temperatures are still 25 at 10pm, that’s hard to achieve. Our only collective suggestion to elevate this space would be to invest in AC or add fans to each room. Other than that, it was perfect!

Good Home for a Large Group

We chose this property because it was large enough to accommodate our large group under one roof. However, for the price, we were disappointed in the location (it was not right on the lake) and we found the property to be in a state of disrepair and not very clean. The furnishings, cabinets and interiors of cabinets were dirty and worn. The light fixtures were full of bugs and the carpet in the main living area was torn to shreds. We have rented in the area before and it was not in the same caliber of luxury homes right on Panorama mountain. While this house was probably a beauty in its day, it has not been well maintained. The house had an indoor and outdoor fire pit, yet there was no firewood available. For the price we paid, we felt this was inappropriate that we had to go out and buy our own wood. Furthermore, we had to ask in advance to ensure that the house would have a Christmas tree for our holiday - this luxury home had a 2 foot mini in the corner. Having traveled at Christmas before, this was not up to par.

About the host

Hosted by Linda and Aldo Laratta

Host profile image
We first fell in love with the community of Timber Ridge when, on a chance opportunity of finding the community gate open, we took the private road which leads to the beach, park and boat launch areas. The drive through the beautiful woods was magical and culminated in a stunning view of Lake Windermere. As custom home builders, we were particularly excited to find our property during a family vacation. Nestled in a mature community, this property had not yet been developed. We were excited for the opportunity to design and build the cabin of our dreams in the beautiful Columbia Valley community of Timber Ridge. The result is a lovely, executive style cabin nestled in the trees. One of three phases in the community of Timber Ridge, the cabin sits on a quiet cul de sac that is accessible only by local traffic. The landscaping and positioning of the home on the lot provides seclusion and privacy in the backyard. On the interior of the cabin, the windows are strategically designed to bring the outside in, while the folding glass walls in the Great Room and Dining Area extend the interior space out to the Deck. Both beautiful and practical, this cabin is perfect for entertaining large groups. We hope you enjoy 'Timber's Den' as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our cabin is conveniently situated in the Columbia Valley on Lake Windermere where Spring comes at least one month earlier and Fall one month later than in Calgary, Alberta which is only a 2 1/2 hours drive away. Being so close to Calgary, it is only a short, but beautiful, drive to our vacation home. It is close enough to head out to the cabin on weekends and to drop back into Calgary, when necessary, during longer stays in the summer. Conveniently located a short distance away from the National Park Resort Town of Banff, we often take little side trips into Banff on our way to and from the cabin. The Radium and Fairmont Hot Springs Resorts are short distances from the cabin and we are conveniently located in the middle of a hot bed of Golf Course Resorts, including Copper Point, Eagle Ranch, Radium Resort, and Grey Wolf.

What makes this property unique

We start our day with a coffee on the deck. Often we walk or jog along the tree lined private roadway to the lake. Walking, it takes about 15 minutes each way. Joggers , will continue along the lake and park. If it's beach day, the 3 minute drive is great for hauling beach gear and those who wish not to walk. A boat day launch is at the private marina and boat slips are available for rent there as well. The beach overlooks a swimming and diving dock area which is great for families with children. And if you want to do nothing, slide open the glass walls, drop the electric screens and enjoy the cabin. In the winter, skiing, skating, snowmobiling all end with a cozy fire. When our lives slow down, we will be spending most of our days at Timber's Den.
