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.

Larkspur - perfection

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 Some of cooking species such as coffee , chocolate powder and tea bags are out of date over years.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.

Great for a weekend getaway

This is a lovely, cozy spot with an awesome living area and working fireplace. Perfect as a home base for checking out the sites in the area. The house itself has a long and interesting history, though it suffers from a few of the issues that any older house will have. We loved all the personal touches and plan to visit again!

Crownsent Pass golf weekend

4 of us ventured out to Larkspur lodge for a weekend golf trip out to the Pass and had such a great stay in the home. So much character, great location, all the amenities you need in the home are there. Paula was an amazing host as well. Answering all of our questions, as absurd as they were, within minutes. Thanks for a fantastic stay. We all had a great time!

Mountain stay with friends

Awesome location right at the foot of turtle mountain. Our group loved the outdoor space in the backyard and much coffee was enjoyed with views of the mountain. Kitchen had everything we needed for making all our meals and is very spacious. The living and dining rooms also had ample space which was great for socializing, eating, and making some puzzles that the house provided. Hillcrest is a superb location. We visited Frank Slide, some waterfalls, Chinook lake, and ran along the crowsnest community trail. Beautiful nature in the region. Communication with host is easy and fluid. Highly recommend visiting crowsnest pass using this vrbo!
