The location was perfect for our trip to Drumheller. Plenty of rooms and beds for our small family and very clean. The IGA in town had our meal ingredients so we saved money cooking our own dinners. Bring a wine opener or be ready to be creative.
This was a solid stay. It was well kept and clean but could definitely use some upgrades. Like the dining chairs are very worn out and one is broken, very squeaky metal bunk bed, one door is very âstickyâ so you canât close itâthe one with the single bunk bedsâall the door hinges squeak loudly, and the shades in the bedroom donât block out much light for early or late sleep ins ⊠just small stuff, but itâs all functional and provides lots of seating for large groups. Some parts of the house are old, but a lot has been well maintained or upgraded. The upgrades are a bit rough around the edges, but itâs clear that the place is well looked after and is clean and comfortable and it has everything you need, including board games which is very thoughtful. I was confused when booking because it says the whole house is yours but there is actually another âunitâ in/above the garage? Not sure. But we never heard the other person while there. Also I wish there was a photo of the exterior in the listing. Itâs actually pretty nice. Itâs not a lot of square footage but the layout has a nice flow so your not bumping into people all the time and itâs nice that there are three bedrooms (one with an en-suite). It was 30 degrees in the daytime when we were there but the place has a few fans and it helps if you open the place up in the evening and it cools right off. I didnât check if the couch was a pullout, but if it was, then it could technically fit 10 people (if two can use a double bed).
Good:
-the bedrooms were clean
-bedding was nice
-lots of sleeping space for my family
-located behind an elementary school and my kids liked the playgroud
-cute and quiet town
Bad:
-there is NO pool...even though it is listed as an amenity.
when i inquired, the owner said we could go to the public pool, which is quite an inaccurate description
-laundry is only available if you ask and it was unlocked for us a few days before we left.
-with 4 kids, laundry and a pool were the primary reasons for choosing this place
-kitchen supplies are bare bones. no wine opener, no coffee maker, (but had a kurig with 4 pods for 4 nights) and 2 dish cloths
-1 roll of paper towel, 3 dishwasher pods, no extra hand soaps, 3 rolls of toilet paper in each washroom, zero cleaners available.
-i had to ask for more cleaning supplies
this was not a well stocked or updated home away from home. we were there for 4 nights and needed to grab stuff from our camping bins on a few occasions.
the kitchen table chairs need to be tightened as they rocked and the vent in the kitchen is bent backwards and my son cut his toe while walking by it.
my family rents a home for a week once a year and have never had these challenges
Didn't get our login info on time but after contacting Vrbo they had great customer service. Was a little stressful not knowing if we would be able to actually get in with a family of 6. Place was really nice, but no laundry as listed which was disappointing and no ac with only one fan! We were so hot as it was 33. No ac is ok but more than one fan is definitely needed. My kids loved that they had Disney plus and it was a lovely space for us to have a short stay.
It was great to have found this gem in Three Hills! The host was very helpful and kind. The rooms were well appointed and beds very comfortable. Weâd definitely stay again!
