The property was easy to find , comfortable and clean. We let ourselves in and enjoyed a view of the mountains from the back deck . The road out the back door was pretty busy however. This may calm down once construction in the neighborhood finished.

There was a couple pieces of garbage on the floor and the BBQ utensils weren’t clean but other than that it was very nice and super quiet. Would Recommend!

Fantastic short or long term stay!
Work training brought me into Cochrane for several weeks, could not be happier that I chose this location for accomodations! Saurabh truly goes above and beyond as a host. I often worked 6 days a week and their laundry drop off service saved me a tremendous amount of time and stress! More than once I was given wonderful home cooked meals which served me the next day for packed lunches as well. Their help allowed me to focus on training and I feel like my work performance boost really showed! Truly thank you for the wonderful stay! :)
