Wonderful base camp for Waterton adventures. Beautiful setting to come back to at the end of a day exploring. The mountain views are amazing while watching local wildlife, like pelicans and cliff sparrows. The kids enjoyed the lake. Fortunately the weather cooperated and we had relatively calm wind and hot weather during our stay. Would definitely recommend this property to others. Sleeps 6 nicely, glad we didnât have 8. The master bedroom has room for an air mattress which I would prefer to the living room sofa beds , so you may want to consider taking one if you have more than 6 people. Also consider packing beach towels and camp chairs for lake use.
The perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. There is a path to the lake and steps for easy access to the water. It was great to be able to swim surrounded by Mountains! (a bit cold in June though)
Great location, just wished the air conditioning worked
The good:
Nice place, very conveniently located proximal to Waterton. Tons of space for the four of us. Lots of natural light and a very airy feel to the place.
Well stocked kitchen. We didn't end up doing much cooking, but it looked like it had everything we'd need.
Bed were comfortable. Internet connection worked well. Being able to park 20 ft from the kitchen make loading and unloading very convenient.
There was another party on the lower level, but we could hardly tell they were there.
Thank you so much for having a floor plan in the listing! It is always so hard to put together the interior layout from just a few pictures.
The bad:
This isn't a knock on the place, just a note on the area, we did wish we'd brought a bit more food with us as the grocery options in Waterton and Mountain View are very limited and after a day of hiking, we didn't feel like venturing further, but we got by. I'm sure there are better stores a bit further from the house.
When we were there, the highs were in the upper 80s to low 90s. The big windows let in a lot of heat in the afternoon/evening even with the blinds closed you could feel the heat radiate into the living room. The air conditioning either couldn't keep up or just plain wasn't working, because when we got there it was 85 degrees in the house. We ended up having to open up the windows every night after the sun went down to cool the place down so we could sleep. It did cool down nicely each night, but i
Great property. The view is breathtaking. Location is great to be far enough out of Waterton to enjoy the peacefulness and close enough to spend some time in the park. Weâre already planning our next visit!
We really enjoyed our stay right on the lake. It was nice and quiet and away from the town. We had everything we needed and it was convenient to be able to do laundry daily after getting dusty from hiking. The road to get here is a gravel road and the direct route via google maps will not get to the house. However, it was not a far drive away. It was about a 23 minute drive into Waterton town. When we are back in the area, we will return!
Rental was as described in listing making this stay memorable!. The house was in immaculate condition and well maintained with wonderful views. Hated to leave! Scenery was spectacular with full views of the lake, plain and mountains in the distance. Most gorgeous sunsets! Will return again, if in the area. The only element that was lacking was access to the lake. We would loved to been able to enjoy a swim.
This vrbo is absolutely beautiful! Stunning view of the mountains and lake. Perfect for a group of people to stay, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Very short drive from Waterton and the border, and lots to do and see in the area. Will definitely book again!
Great property. Clean, spacious, well appointed. Beautiful scenery. Isolated, but easy to find, if you follow the owner's directions. Minutes from Waterton Park. Highly recommend for those looking for something in this area.
Beautiful property with a beautiful deck overlooking the lake with stunning views! The owner was very responsive when I needed anything at any time.
The only challenge I had was finding the place as there is no address. Iâd recommend looking ahead at a map with the written directions so that your gps doesnât lead you astray like mine did! The owner was a lifesaver getting us there in the end. đđ»đ
We just loved this brand-new property. The view over Payne Lake to the mountains was just outstanding - unobstructed sunset views right out the front of the house! The house itself was great, we had a few very minor things that could have been better but nothing that took away from the overall great experience. And those minor things are sure to improve as time goes on, they seemed to be related to it being brand-new. For example, a bit of construction materials still laying around (but not in the way at all), it felt a little bare with nothing on the walls, etc. Again, none of this had any real impact on our stay, who cares if there are pictures hanging on the walls?!?!
It was an easy (and pretty) drive to Waterton and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I was back in the area. Since the house is so new the directions are a little confusing, be sure and carefully read the directions from the owner rather than allow your GPS to guide you.
