The initial welcome was excellent. Access and parking at the property was well explained. Our bags were retrieved from our car and delivered to our room. The rooms were almost soundproof through the night in spite of being just off of memorial drive. A reasonable walk to the Kensington shopping and entertainment district. The hostess, Kim, was very friendly and helpful with the breakfast offerings in the morning. We have no problem in recommending this B&B to anyone visiting Calgary.

I have never experienced such a warm welcome. The couple who run the Inn are fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help. They were good enough to provide me a complimentary breakfast. The accommodation itself was very clean and tidy. The owner has created a spectacular environment with wooden floors, panelling and cabinetry that he made himself. They were able to provide me with secure parking for my motorcycle and they also allowed me to leave one of my suitcases at their premises for a week while I travelled elsewhere. My room was below ground and was very comfortable and most importantly was quiet. It had its own bathroom and all the amenities that I needed. Although, they also provided much superior rooms and gave me the choice of which room to take. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any traveller and I hope to use them again in the future.

A quick walk around the corner to some shops and restaurants as well. Absolutely lovely, will definitely stay again.

We were there to visit a family member at Foothills Hospital. It was the perfect location because it was a 10 minute drive to the hospital but walking distance to morning coffee and dinner. Exactly what we needed.

The place has a beautiful and luxurious interior as pictured, the woodwork and detail are like none I've ever seen before. It is a unique stay that is good for occasions! I will come back whenever I'm in Calgary again. The mattress was great. The place is very clean and comfortable and the hosts were welcoming and kind.

I was visiting Calgary for a work conference and needed an affordable place to stay within short driving distance to the BMO Centre and this place was perfect! The host family was really nice and attentive and my room was extremely comfortable. It was slightly warm in the room but after mentioning it to Kim she brought me a fan! I would definitely stay here again if I ever visit Calgary and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay that’s close to downtown.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Expensive for what you get. Not for everyone.

The photos on line and some of the reviews suggest this is a pretty nice place. However, the room we had was just a room in someone’s basement. No view, dark (just typical basement window below ground level) and felt drafty and cold. There was a leak under the bathroom sink and a ceiling light that kept coming on by itself during the night until we unscrewed the bulb. Even though this was a king room and there were only 2 of us, we were charged for an extra person. Also, the rules are no shoes in the building so if you have foot problems and rely on orthotics to prevent foot pain, this place is definitely not for you.

The craftsmanship of the home’s interior was incredible - beautiful custom built-ins, consistent throughout the home, the floor was custom detailed, done by the owner. It almost felt like an older manor style home with the wainscoting and elegant finishes. The owners were very nice, accommodating people, and fairly knowledgeable when I asked about parking in certain areas. Breakfast options were plentiful and tasty! Room was clean, though there was an old stain on the one pillow. Mattress was very nice, pillows were just okay. The bathroom shower was AWESOME, it had an amazing rainfall shower. However, I accidentally locked the basement room where I was staying. There was an “exterior interior” door that led to a closed hallway leading to my bedroom and bathroom. No one told me I couldn’t lock this hallway door from the outside, as the lock wasn’t the same as my lockable bedroom door. (Owner had to unlock it!) This strange set-up was caused by the establishment of a basement suite, likely for the owners family. The “wall” closing off my hallway wasn’t a “proper” dry walled wall that goes from floor to ceiling. It was more like the back of a cupboard, and light could escape along the crack by the ceiling. When I turned the hallway light on, a light clearly came on on the other side of the wall in the basement suite. Vice versa, if the tenants turned on their light using the two-way switch, my hallway light would also come on. Just weird. Still, would stay again!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful private house but lacking the security, comfort and amenities of a 4 star guest house. We do not recommend. Security: No security locks on room doors and a 'honour system' for locking the main entrance door. We put a chair against our door for security. The "Check-out" process meant leaving our keys on the kitchen counter. Comfort: Bed mattress and pillows (foam) were lumpy; we didn't get a good night sleep. Top sheet was percale 180 thread count (Thomaston t-180), covered by thin nylon blanket (Vellux). Polyester comforter. Amenities: Contrary to their Expedia profile, there is no room service or dining options. The host referred us to Uber Eats. Parking is street parking. What could be improved: - Security locks for guest room and main door security system. - New or better quality mattress, pillows and bedding. - Remove reference to room service from the Expedia website (intentional misrepresentation?, the host said it meant they "serviced the room" ) . - The host has a strict policy requiring guests to remove their shoes at the front door. They should provide house slippers as is customary in this situation. The host provided me slippers when I asked, did not offer slippers to my spouse. - Remove the first picture from their Expedia profile that shows what looks like a hotel tower. It's the first picture that pops up when using the Expedia mobile app.

Kim was the most fantastic host I’ve ever had!! She maintains the Inn all on her own and does a great job making sure everything is handled in a timely manner, as well as making sure you feel so welcomed and comfortable. She was also great to have conversations with and is the sweetest lady with the biggest heart. She made sure my friends and I had everything we needed while we were staying in town for a music festival, and she was very easy to communicate with. I will absolutely be staying here again!! I recommend this Inn to everyone without hesitation.

I booked last minute during stampede just hoping to get anything. But I was absolutely blown away by both the property itself and the amazing hospitality I was offered by the small family run BnB. She was very welcoming, showed me all around the property and I was able to pick from a couple room options that were still available, and I was welcome to any of the water and the snacks in the kitchen. Check in and check out was super easy and they register your vehicle for parking. I was offered a complimentary breakfast in the morning however I let her know I was leaving super early and instead she packed me a sandwich for the road. I would say a stay at this place is a must. The house itself is beautiful. It is close to downtown and was able to walk to the cowboys music festival in about 20mins.
