Family Christmas Getaway

This is a lovely property, lots of character, beautifully appointed and spacious. We really appreciated its large living room with comfortable seating for all of us (a family of 7 adults) and the six friends who came to visit one day. The dining room is also large with a table that comfortably sat 8 and a round table that could seat another 5 or 6. The kitchen was very well-equipped and comfortable for 2 or 3 to cook in at once. We really appreciated having 2 ovens and 2 fridges for our Christmas feasting. The bedrooms were large and attractive. Some of us didn't find the beds as comfortable as we wished, but that seemed minor compared to how well everything else worked for us.The owner was very responsive and helpful. Clear instructions were provided for managing things in the house.

Wonderful Stay at the Crow's Nest Pass

Our family had a most enjoyable time at Larkspur Lodge! We loved being able to gather around the fire after a day of hiking and exploring. The Lodge is very spacious and the kitchen has everything one needs to cook a gourmet meal - an impressive variety of spices and appliances. Wifi is excellent and best of all, we were able to bring our furry friend. Paula was most receptive to our questions and check in and out was seamless. We'll be back!!

Eclecticly nice house

My daughter picked this place and we didnt really check it out much online but it turned out nice and comfortable for the 7 adult family members. Decorations and amenities were interesting really. Kitchen well equipped even though we didn't use it much. Stairs to bedrooms is circular and abit rough for us older folks. Upstairs shower clawfoot tub needs some practical shelving to really be functional. Everyone used the downstairs very nicely remodeled bathroom shower. Took a little getting used to but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay with Family

We booked as a family and 1 pet to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Bellevue. We had a lovely stay and the property has everything you'll need to be comfortable and entertain a large group for a meal or just to hang out. The yard and fire pit are a great asset to the property. Look forward to our next stay.

Great Location & Very Spacious

Stayed here August 2024 for 5 nights. Our group was in Crowsnest Pass for a family wedding. Very close to the flower farm venue. The surrounding area was beautiful. The kitchen, living room, dining room and backyard were an excellent size to accommodate us all. The host (Paula) was very efficient and thorough with messages about the property.

Will be an annual trip

Our two families came with 4 young children. This house is big and has lots of room for families. We brought play pen and bassinets for the children and had lots of room in the bedrooms. This house is definitely older and the stairs upstairs are a bit scary but you kind of get use to them. There were some cleanliness concerns we had that we discussed with the owner and they will make sure they’re addressed. If you’re looking for a rental that has space and outdoor room this place is great.

Crowsnest Pass Family Reunion

This property worked out very well for our family reunion. It is spacious and well stocked. The only concern we had was it was a very warm week in the Crowsnest Pass and we were only provided with two fans to cover the four bedrooms upstairs. Also, we could not open any windows on the main floor to get some air flow. Other then that it was a great property.

The Larkspur Lodge has been the perfect accommodation for our Sinister 7 team for several years. The many bedrooms and common spaces allow quiet or social time. The lodge is well-equipped and provides us with everything we need for a weekend of fun.

Long weekend getaway

The house is full of historic decoration. Some of cooking species such as coffee , chocolate powder and tea bags are out of date over years. Appreciate to have the air fryer It gives us a great help in cooking Enjoy the size of the room A bit scary to walk the stair up and down , especially for elderly with bad knee and a tall guy.

Lovely historic house

The property on the whole was comfortable and interesting. We all enjoyed the period furniture as well as the 70s vibe. The yard is gorgeous and we used it when weather was cooperating. All in all I would suggest this property to anyone.

Great weekend trip

Myself and 4 friends stayed at this property for 2 nights, and it was very cool to stay in such a historic home, in a cute town. The house and rooms were as described, and the host provided great instructions and was excellent with communicating regarding any questions we had. The yard was wonderful including a fire pit (which we didn't get a chance to use, but it's nice to have). The house is large and would have been comfortable even with a larger group - there was lots of seating and decent sized bedrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes and appliances you could ever need, and spices, cooking oils and aluminum foil etc. For us, it was a good location to explore the CNP. I would recommend this home, and I would stay again! Thanks for a great weekend.
