"The breakfast was good, but the dining area was crowded at times … had to wait for a table. A second microwave would help speed things up. Also, a more efficient arrangement of food, beverages, etc."

The Modern Lodge Retreat with INFRARED SAUNA & Amenities for Rest and Relaxation

10/10 Excellent
"Die FeWo liegt strategisch sehr günstig zwischen Calgary und Kananaskis, beides ist mit einer kurzen Fahrt zu erreichen und man hat das Beste von Stadt und Land. Man muss immer etwas Zeit einplanen, um aus dem Wohngebiet der Ferienwohnung herauszukommen. Die Temparatursteuerung der FeWo ist etwas eigen, aber - für Europäer ungewöhnlich - der Kamin geht auf Schalterbetätigung an.Alles war sauber, die Ausstattung super. Mit den Gastgebern war kaum Kontakt notwendig, aber (die wenigen) Nachrichten wurden umgehend beantwortet. Gerne wieder, falls wir nochmal in die Gegend kommen."

"The room was clean and the host was nice and helped us with our questions. We understand that this room was new to being rented out and I want to list items that should be added to the room. The room had one small garbage can in the bathroom with only one bag. There should be at least one larger can in the kitchen area and replacement bags should be provided. There were no dish towels and two wash cloths total in the unit. There was no frying pan but I realized later that there was one in the unemptied dishwasher. There was no dishwasher detergent. We were disappointed to learn there was no AC . It was unusually warm and we were told that only happens a couple weeks out of the year. It was too hot to sleep well so we did buy a fan that helped. Also the door did not have a screen and there were only two small windows we could leave open. The door had no shade and the parking lot has security lights that shined brightly into the room. We also purchased a couple chairs we could put on the patio as well as use in the room. The room has two small bar stools to sit on other than the beds. If these issues are addressed and it is not so warm outside, this room would be a good place to stay. We liked the area and really enjoyed the bike trail."
