This house is over 100 years old so it has some quirks. It is a large house with lots of room for everyone. The decore is eclectic and adds to the charm. The. Kitchen is well stocked with lots of dishes, pots and pans, appliances, 2 fridges, a range of spices, etc. lots of games and crafts for kids. Lots of outdoor space and firewood for the fire. The location was great for exploring the Crowsnest Pass area. Lots of lakes, hiking and history. The downside, some of the furniture and beds need an upgrade.
Property has lots of character. However looks tired. Most furniture cushions have holes in them. The vegetation was totally overgrown at the entrance as well as at the driveway. I had stayed there a few years ago and while it accommodates a large group it needs some attention. I think it should be noted that the stairs are quite steep and the only main floor bedroom isnât really that.
We booked this place for a bachelorette party get away, as a group of 9. This was a lovely private place. The home was stocked with all sorts of stuff from outdoor equipment, kitchen items, etc. Was the perfect getaway!! The photos online do not do the place justice. A lovely hidden gem.
This is a lovely property, lots of character, beautifully appointed and spacious. We really appreciated its large living room with comfortable seating for all of us (a family of 7 adults) and the six friends who came to visit one day. The dining room is also large with a table that comfortably sat 8 and a round table that could seat another 5 or 6. The kitchen was very well-equipped and comfortable for 2 or 3 to cook in at once. We really appreciated having 2 ovens and 2 fridges for our Christmas feasting. The bedrooms were large and attractive. Some of us didn't find the beds as comfortable as we wished, but that seemed minor compared to how well everything else worked for us.The owner was very responsive and helpful. Clear instructions were provided for managing things in the house.
Our family had a most enjoyable time at Larkspur Lodge! We loved being able to gather around the fire after a day of hiking and exploring. The Lodge is very spacious and the kitchen has everything one needs to cook a gourmet meal - an impressive variety of spices and appliances. Wifi is excellent and best of all, we were able to bring our furry friend. Paula was most receptive to our questions and check in and out was seamless. We'll be back!!
My daughter picked this place and we didnt really check it out much online but it turned out nice and comfortable for the 7 adult family members. Decorations and amenities were interesting really. Kitchen well equipped even though we didn't use it much. Stairs to bedrooms is circular and abit rough for us older folks. Upstairs shower clawfoot tub needs some practical shelving to really be functional. Everyone used the downstairs very nicely remodeled bathroom shower. Took a little getting used to but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We booked as a family and 1 pet to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Bellevue. We had a lovely stay and the property has everything you'll need to be comfortable and entertain a large group for a meal or just to hang out. The yard and fire pit are a great asset to the property. Look forward to our next stay.
The house os amazing everything u need is there plenty of space aslo Hillcrest offer alot to see also close to BC for day trip.Would differently recommend this place.
This is a delightful, older but charming property. We loved the unique character and central location to the Crowsnest region and hope to return next year.
This was our second stay at Larkspur Lodge. It is a fantastic walk into history of the area. The home is sprawling and spectacular. A true treasure in Hillcrest. The hosts are fantastic and prompt in all replies.
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.
Infused with personality and stocked with everything a group would need for a comfortable stay, Larkspur Lodge is a total delight. Wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces and perfectly located to explore Crowsnest, I would recommend this location to everyone!
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 theyâre addressed.
If youâre looking for a rental that has space and outdoor room this place is great.
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.
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.
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.
Fell in love with the Crowsnest Pass many years ago. We bought the Lodge on the day we saw it and have never looked back. Over the years our lives have been enriched by the times we have spent here.
Larkspur Lodge is the perfect holiday retreat for those who want to do everything and for those who want to do nothing at all. Great for family gatherings. Children under 4 stay for free.
