Absolutely wonderful

The setting is beautiful and you feel like you are at a cottage. The suite was clean and well-maintained. Beds were very comfortable. Herb and Brenda were great hosts and very helpful. We were able to have a late checkout and Herb offered to drive us to the airport! Would love to come back and definitely recommend.

Short stay after trip to Banff

Our stay was enjoyable in this walkout basement property thanks to several features…ample space making it ideal for families. It offered a great view of the lake. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep after a day of activities. The neighborhood was quiet and the property offered a good selection of TV channels. Although we didn’t use them, the inclusion of lake toys adds an extra layer of fun. The outdoor seating area was a nice spot to enjoy a cup of coffee. The only minor issue and suggestion would be to fix the stove fan, which would be beneficial for those who like to cook. Despite this, our stay was enjoyable.

Beautiful Property in Perfect Location

This property has it all! We greatly appreciated the clean, comfortable and spacious property which was well stocked with all the amenities we needed, as well as a great stock of board games, books, foosball & pool tables, if you wanted to hangout inside. A summer delight if you wanted to be outside with a many seating areas over looking the lake, and the hosts kindly supplied water toys if you wanted to swim, fish and kayak. The hosts were thoughtful and accessible if needed. Will be back!! Thank you for making our trip memorable!!

Memorable stay!

Great location on the shore of Arbour Lake with a unique suite layout. The circular kitchen and hallway was fun and imaginative. Unbelievable range of amenities suited everyone in our family. The lake and dock were enjoyable additions. Clean, comfortable, bright, spacious, easy parking, walkable to Crowfoot Centre (shops). Communication with hosts was excellent- clear and prompt responses. Special shout out to the hosts who were able to accommodate our last minute schedule change.- thank you! Look forward to conquering the lake’s inflatable iceberg next time!

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
We are Herb and Brenda and would like to share what we have enjoyed for many years. We spent many years in the relocation business helping individuals relocate internationally. This gave us the opportunity to travel and now that we have retired we spend a lot of time enjoying Calgary, our guests and our location.

Why they chose this property

Staying in our suite is a time to remember. You get about 1600 sq. ft. of quality construction living area with 3 bedrooms, a large bathroom and a very large games room, kitchen eating area and family room. You will not even think you are in a lower suite.

Location is important and we are located on the lake which during the summer and winter guests can enjoy a list of fun things from a beach, swimming, boating to skating, curling and hockey.

Located close to shopping and eating out at all types of restraunts.

Also located with easy access to get to the mountains or downtown.

What makes this property unique

We are family oriented.
