Ghost Lake

The property was pretty amazing and perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 children ranged 8-13 years old. Possibly could use a little improvement on some furniture and seating on the outdoor decks. Very convenient to the National Parks as well as grocery in Cochrane. We did have a few issues that needed attention, but fortunately the property manager, Leanne, was outstanding. She was easily contacted and reacted very quickly to our needs.

Amazing property

Great size and features for a big group. Hot tub was very hot and had a hard time getting in touch to adjust it. No other complaints.

What a Treat!

Ghost Lake is perfectly situated between Calgary and Banff. It’s a beautiful home with lots of property that is great for nature walks. We saw a moose, elk and lots of deer from the house. We had 14 people and plenty of room. The hot tub was difficult to keep hot. The property host was very responsive to questions and concerns. It would be great to have multiple gate openers and some extra sets of sheets, blankets, and pillows. Our family likes lots of pillows. Overall, wonderful experience. I would highly recommend.

Looks Great but Very Stuffy

I enjoyed my stay but the house was generally quite stuffy/dusty, especially on the basement level. In fact the basement air quality was so poor that my mother, who is generally in good health, could hardly breath. Additionally, the pool was a nice amenity except for the array of dead bugs and debris floating within. The hot tub was also a disappointment due to the scalding water (lower the water temperature entailed coordinating with the property manager which was worth the time given our short stay). Overall the stay was enjoyable albeit very disappointing for the price paid.

Beautiful home,not maintained lacking bedding proper dishes, dirty pool, cheap mattresses

Very beautiful house. However, I spent the first three days trying to clean and get the pool in the proper order. Not well-maintained. Nothing matched. The dishes were mismatched. The mattress in the master bedroom was substandard. And a multi million dollar home and they can’t afford to put decent bedding that matches or the dishes. Garage was disgusting. Very disappointed that I had to waste my time cleaning for half my vacation screen in the kitchen were so filthy I had to wash them in the shower downstairs.

Great location and space for large group!

We had 11 people, ranging from ages 11 to 79, and the house had more than enough spaces and things to offer. We didn't even use one of the 6 bedrooms. The views are awesome and the outdoor surrounding property is wonderful to explore. The pool greenroom is so cool! The temperature of the pool and hottub were our only complaint...too hot! But we made do and with the movie theater to use and the basement games, we didn't feel put out of options. The location is perfect...45 minutes from Canmore, an hour from Banff, an hour and a half from many other gorgeous options! We visited Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, and Lake Minnewanka. We also did a horseback ride tour that took us across Bow River and white water rafted on Kicking Horse River. It was nice to end our day in a comfortable and gorgeous home!
