Cozy basement suite near the mountains

We loved the ease of check-in, and the cleanliness. Best of all was the location. Close to all the amenities in Cochrane.

It was a nice stay for us, enough to hold us over for the 3-4 days we were there.

This was the perfect little nest for me—travelling solo, needing to be in the Cochrane/Calgary vicinity. Lovely decor, new finishings, equipped with all the essentials. Clean, crisp linens. Air exchange vent to keep the air refreshed even after showering or cooking. Great/prompt communication with the host (though absolute left-in-peace privacy, which I value highly). NB, while it feels light and not at all closed in, it’s still a ‘basement’ suite in the sense that you will hear as assortment of paws and little feet above you (that was all I was aware of—it’s not a case of hearing every dish clank or the TV, for ex). Small hanging bar w/ a few hangers was perfect for me—but if you’re more than one person, you’ll want to be ok with living out your suitcases (no closet or dresser). I needed nothing extra from the host, but I have no doubt at all, given my exchanges w/ her, that she would have been more than helpful/accommodating with any requests.

It’s a beautiful space, stylishly decorated, clean and just what I needed for a brief stay with my husband and two small kiddos. It is small - so you need to be comfortable with that. But I personally love small spaces. I would certainly stay again.
