Bachelor party - Success
This property was kept in perfect condition. Amenities were exactly as described. We could not have hoped for a better time at the Ranch. Staff were also incredibly helpful with locating a lost wallet after departure; they even sent it priority mail to the guest. Thanks CVB, its been a pleasure.

Modern mansion was a dream come true
Three generations, including three married couples so all our 3 granddaughters had their own room. We were there over Christmas and it was nice to have the tree and other decorations done by our hosts. The dining room was large enough for the 9 of us (but would have seated 12). The 2 dishwashers and huge fridge with freezer were essential and there was another fridge in the basement. During our 5 night stay we used almost all the amenities - theatre room, pool table, arcade basketball, sauna and other spa features. We had one dog with us and there were many places outside of the property to walk her (and ourselves). For the price, I don't think there is another place in the province of Alberta that is this large and with this many exceptional features.

Family time together
As a family we were very happy with all the different aspects of the home which met many different interests within our family. We were also comfortable with the fact that the hosts were on site yet not visible to us. They were also very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. Thanks for the wonderful experience we were able to enjoy.

Cool property in the prairie
This was a great experience for our family - the accommodations were enjoyed by everyone. We had some 14 people and there was plenty of space for everyone to hang out during the day and evening around the fire pit. Spectacular prairie scenery.

Property is nice with beautiful views. However, we did not have a good experience afterwards with communications with the management team. We felt we were treated quite unfairly and that dampened our overall experience with the property.

Perfect Wedding Venue
We booked CVR as the perfect place for our wedding and perfect it was! Between the space available for camping and all of the rooms in the house we were able to accommodate almost all of our guests overnight. The gorgeous landscape was the perfect backdrop for our outdoor wedding ceremony (so many stunning photos!) and the patio area was perfect for the dinner and dance. We are so happy we chose CVR and would highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for an even centre or weekend get away! Jen & Bryan

Property manger sent frivolous invoice 2 weeks after stay.
The property managers sent an invoice without discussing prior and have not explained what the invoice was for. On VRBO, hosts can invoice guests and the card gets charged automatically, with merit or not.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!
My friends and I booked this property for a weekend getaway, and it didn't disappoint! The house was beautiful inside and outside, and it looked just like it does in the pictures! We loved all of the activities that were available within the house such as the spa room, the theatre, the games, and the fire pit! It was such a special and quiet weekend and we definitely want to come back in the future!

Looks nice on surface, beware of bugs, no AC
The property looks nice on the surface, but beware that going in summer isn't a great idea if it's hot outside. There's no AC and we're told to open the windows for the breeze. The issue is that there are a swarm of bugs that will infest the house if you do so. One bedroom was completely unusable as they invaded the bed, walls, floors etc. There was also some plumbing issues that cause leakage in one of the other bedrooms. The spa room and theater are great but it's too bad that certain parts of the experience ruined the vacation for members of the family that were in the affected rooms.

Great Stay
The property looked exactly as advertised. It is a beautiful property, great decor, with plenty of room for a family gathering. It has everything you need to enjoy the property. The large number of bathrooms are perfect for a big family of adults. The basement had a bit of a smell possibly because of the spa room with fountain. All areas were clean. Just a few walk spots/baseboards with dirt/spills. It backs onto a beautiful landscape. It is close enough to Drumheller so you can access shopping and restaurants. The property managers were great and checked in, answered questions, and addressed needs. I would definitely return.

Fabulous retreat in the Canadian Badlands
This was perfect for our family vacation. Can’t beat the views and there was plenty of activities for the kids at the house and in Drumheller/the hoodoos. The adults loved the spa room, the fire pit and coffee on the balcony. Owners were very responsive and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!
