My husband, 2 college-aged sons, and myself stayed in the Heritage Room for 3 nights (August 4-6). We enjoyed our time here. The room was over the garage and large (3 queen beds, 1 twin, a couple of chairs, dressers, night stands, tv, and more); we had plenty of room. Our bathroom was downstairs, but still in our private hallway. We had a private entrance from the outside of the house, as well as inside.The great-room, kitchen, and upstairs "hall way" areas are shared by all guests; we always had plenty of space. Check-in was easy (a phone is located in the small cabinet by the front door); simply call the phone number shown and Dennis will tell you the code to open the front door, as well as where your room key is and how to locate your room. He and his wife (Cathy) stopped by to ensure everyone got in OK, and to begin preparations for our morning breakfast. Cathy is a great cook! All of our breakfasts were delicious; we would have been happy with left-overs, but she cooked "fresh" every morning! The wifi connection was great, as well as the selection of programs to watch on tv. It was great to have full access to the kitchen; we cooked our nightly meals there and had plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc for our use. We did a little site-seeing from here, but mostly used this location as a time to relax and prepare for our next adventures as we moved on.

Our family was in the cabin and two other families were in the lodge. My wife and I have 6 children, some with children of their own. Fit our family perfectly. Married kids all felt they had privacy with a room. Single kids were grateful to at least have beds rather than sleeping bags. Kitchen area provided all we needed. Gathering area worked perfect for us. The area was beautiful! There was a recent big snowfall but the parking and walkways were cleaned perfectly.||||Two more large families were in the lodge and we congregated with them in the evenings. It was beautiful in there and accommodated a lot of people easily. A big screen tv allowed us to show a family created video and everyone could see. Then we had a bit of a program with everyone and the facility allowed us to do it perfectly. Everyone could see and hear.||||The facility couldn't have worked better for us. A big thank you to the hosts.

You know that nice smell of wood when you walk into a cabin? Now imagine if the cabin was not just logs but a lovely hotel with vintage furniture, flowerbeds and very relaxed policies about guest autonomy, so it just feels like you're a part of their little world. This hotel is located a bit away from the main city, which gives a lot more peace and quiet. The owners are very nice and inclusive they let us use the kitchen in the non-breakfast times and the breakfast always had enough to pick from! We had a small incident where the kid in our family, not older than 5 at the time, forgot his very important and beloved teddybear at the inn. We were unable to pick it up, so for a WHOLE YEAR the owners kept it for us in a safe until we came back and the boy had a happy reunion with his teddy. He lived that whole year on the faith that the bear was kept safe and loved, always comforted by the thought, and it truly was! Such a special place for us, can't wait to come back and look over the beautiful fields from the windows!

We stayed two nights, June 5 & 6, 2015. Everything was fantastic as a B & B used to be -- great hosts and great home cooked breakfast, one of the best breakfast we have had at any B & B we have stayed at -- very yummy, keep it up. Rooms were clean and quiet. Common area is huge with a fully stocked kitchen (if you want to use it) and TV is connected to Apple TV to watch movies, wi fi is available. Very nice view of Chief mountain from room or balconies. BBQ & table & chairs are on the balcony as well. B & B located close to Waterton National Park. Thank you Dennis and Cathy, you gave us memorable experiences and we enjoyed our conversations with you both.||Rose & Ted, Mississauga, ON

Excellent venue for a family reunion. Beautiful location, cozy accommodations. The kitchen was well equipped, and had a selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate, etc... Only complaint is that our room had a shower with a window at ground level. It was really easy to hang a small towel in front of it, but it would be nice if it was textured glass, or something. Also it was difficult to get a hold of the owners for the wifi password, as they didn't answer their phones for a while.

We had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful B&B on June 5th & 6th of this year while touring southern Alberta with our friends from Ontario. The primary building is huge & can provide accommodation for up to 30 people. We chose a room with two Queen size beds & ensuite bathroom, the room was very clean, the decor was pleasing and the beds were very comfortable. The price included a full breakfast that was outstanding in quality and quantity. The location was a short drive to Waterton Lakes National Park & AB Highway 2 (Queen Elizabeth II). Dennis & Cathy are very gracious hosts and we enjoyed our conversations with you both. We have found the perfect retreat for our next trip to southern Alberta.||Bruce & Mary B

Rooms are clean, plenty of hot water. Food is amazing. So peaceful and quiet. There are all sorts of rooms from large honeymoon to runs with queen or double.

There is a large kitchen to use, nice big bonus room: great for family or cooperate events, has a nice upper level that over looks the big bonus room.

Outside has a beautiful yard. Large fired pit, benches throughout the property to sit back and relax. During my stay in the early fall. I saw some great horned owl, white tail bucks and some Doe's. The gold finches were always tweeting.

The hosts were awesome, always had smiles, if you wanted to talk, they listened and if wanted a story, they had them.

I would recommend anyone that is considering, don't hesitate.

Stayed there for three days and really enjoyed my time in the cabin. The cabin is great for those who are travelling with family and friends. Lots of room for people to sleep (at least 12 comfy beds). Rooms were clean and staff were very friendly. ||The cabin has a private entrance, a kitchen (has a microwave, oven, empty fridge, and kitchen utensils), two bathrooms and showers (although the one in the basement shouldn't be used really as it had a crack in the corner and water was leaking out. You will also get a washer and dryer!
