We spent 3 nights at the rental and the views are breathtaking! The owners are great with communication and easy to get ahold of. There is sooo much privacy and we loved all the little touches inside and out. Interesting and unique decorations inside and there are 2 large gardens, a pond with fish and a waterfall. We ate beets, carrots and some broccoli from the garden. We saw deer in the yard and a wild turkey. The rental is VERY well stocked with anything you may need. I’d recommend this property if you want a little trip to get away from it all and enjoy beautiful view and a great get away with all the comforts!
Love this place!!! It’s our third time staying there. It’s tucked away … no traffic, no noise… just the wildlife in the area. Great hiking trails nearby. The house offers everything we need. Always an enjoyable stay !!
We had an amazing time! This vacation was so relaxing. The accommodation, beautiful views and amenities were just what we needed. Robyn and Glen were great hosts that set their guests up with a private and comfortable experience.
My family had our third year out at this beautiful property. Every time we come the garden offers different delicious treats. We relax and enjoy the pool and nearby lake, and are so grateful to have this spot to return to.
Great place, very cozy with all the amenities. Very clean and tidy. Everything as described.
Thanks for hosting!

We chose this location for relaxation but there is so much you can do. The hosts are amazing, the property is out of this world. We were comfortable, entertained, and enjoyed our stay. My son loved the fish in the pond, and the waterfall. We got to roast marshmallows and enjoy the scenery. Would love to go back and would highly recommend staying!
This was our first trip to the Canadian Rockies, and we weren’t sure what to expect but from the moment we arrived it felt like a home, not just a rental, it was extremely well stocked! The views from the pool were amazing, it was so peaceful and quiet, we mostly sat in the pool in silence soaking in the view. So much wildlife in the area and plenty of nearby hiking. The deck it set up perfectly to catch sunrise an amazing sunset overlooking the lake and river. The place was setup with tons of outdoor activities, unfortunately we hit a bad year with mosquitoes and couldn’t fully enjoy all the outdoor activities. We absolutely loved this place and will be back 100%
It is difficult to describe the feelings we have for this property.
We cannot think of anytime on any holiday we have been more relaxed and at peace.
The view,the home, the pool, the hot tub, the HiFi!!!
If you want to get away from it all and just chill this is definitely the place.
Robyn & Glen were excellent hosts and we could not have asked for more.
We will look forward to returning and seeing Shamus & Patrick O'Bear again soon.
The location is beautiful. It was so peaceful. Hosts were great and made us feel very welcome. Hot tub and pool were perfect! Loved exploring the land as well.
This property is as good as the pictures depict. Robyn and Glen are amazing hosts. They put a lot of thought into every detail, they are extremely well organized and they a very easy to get ahold of if needed. The property itself is amazing and the area surrounding Argenta is equally amazing. If you are looking to get away from the crowds of people and chaos, this is the place for you. It is very peaceful and incredibly beautiful.
Love this place. Second time staying there but a very different trip. This time lots of hiking in the beautiful mountains and hills close by and lots of much needed solitude… away from any cities or big towns!! Looking forward to 3 years in a row. Thank you for you gracious hospitality!!! 🙏
This rental was beautiful and was stocked with everything needed and more. The hosts were great to communicate with and quick to respond. You can tell the effort they have put into making this rental a beautiful vacation. The area is lovely and there is much to do both at the cabin and it's surroundings.
This place is unbelievable. Remote, beautiful scenery, great place to spend quality time with family or friends. The check in was easy and the hosts were warm and welcoming. There was never a shortage of things to do for myself and my 10 year old son. We will be back !!! Thank you!!!
