Family Christmas
We were pleasantly surprised with how well stocked this place was. You really don't need to bring anything but your food and clothes. There was loads of space for our party of 8 to sleep and enjoy eachothers company. Waterton townsite is abiut a 20 minutes drive. Our host offered us a park pass to use during our stay. Jan was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.

Great view, no hot tub......
Great property in an very nice location close to Waterton national park. However the listing states that there is a hot tub, there is not a hot tub on this property, very misleading add should be corrected.

Perfect house near Waterton
Our family of 3 kids and 4 adults loved our stay in this house! It was clean, comfortable, and cozy. Beautiful mountain views! Kids loved "their" own upstairs space. Kitchen was well stocked, and Jan gave us great recommendations for Waterton.

Sisters Getaway
There was 4 sisters for a quick getaway. Everything we needed was there. So nicely decorated and clean. Room for all of us. Beautiful backyard, horses that came and visited. Waterton just a quick drive away. And the ice cream at the corner store just down the road from this location was so amazing.

Family trip
This is a beautiful home in a lovely setting. Quiet and with all the amenities that a small or large group could possibly need. Help is just a phone call away and they are very attentive and helpful. Close to Waterton National Park and yet offers a lovely view of the prairie with horses and cattle out the back door. We loved it.

This place was wonderful! So much space, multiple seating areas, and gorgeous views. The night sky was incredible, and we left the curtains open on the floor to ceiling windows to be greeted by the incredible vistas. We didnt have time to use the firepit area but hope to be back with the whole family next time!

Fabulous property with a view to remember
Chief Mountain Lodge is located with quick, easy access to Waterton National Park. The property is so well appointed with everything you need from sleeping, kitchen and dining to a cozy fire pit to games and kids toys. The property manager is very friendly and super helpful. At the end of the stay we left with happy hearts, trying to figure out when we could come back.

JAN was the perfect hostess! Gave us all the privacy we wanted, and has a house better organized than any I have ever experienced! Everything we needed was there, and she even baked us cookies!She is a genuinely nice person. This location for exploringWaterton lakes park couldn't be better, a quick and easy 15 minute drive. We stay in VRBO 's every year and this is our 10th year; this was by far the nicest and most conscientious owner we have experienced, and we all felt most appreciative😁👍👍👍

Excellent stay!
What a lovely home! Had everything we needed, and more. Host was so kind and made sure we were settled in as well as telling us about the local attractions and bringing us fresh baked cookies! Everyone from my 8 year old son to my 75 year old father in law found something enjoyable to do in the house. My kids enjoyed the books, toys, and games. There were many thoughtful choices for younger children too, such as a high chair and potty seat. We loved sitting by the fire pit and playing croquet in the yard. The location was close to Waterton, there was a gas station/general store in walking distance, and a larger town about 15 minutes away. Views of the mountain were great, we saw an adorable family of foxes playing in the yard, and the stars were amazing to look at. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely try to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jan Creason

Host profile image
I am not a native to Mountain View area having grown up in Calgary but my husband and I have lived here for the past 18 years. Three of our 5 children also live here and 13 of our 17 grandchildren. I was a Dental Hygienist for 30 years but have been in the hospitality industry for the past 18 years in Waterton and in Mountain View. So you could say I went from cleaning teeth to cleaning toilets!! I hope that your stay at Rocky Mountain Guest House will enable you to get out and explore this part of Southern Alberta and come to love it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

You never get tired of viewing Chief Mountain, weather it be in the early morning, late evening, or seeing the storms surround it's grandeur. You may also enjoy the shaded lawn area, reading a book and looking up to take in the view and bird watching.
