A Great Family Thanksgiving

We often visit the Eagle Ridge Territory to celebrate Thanksgiving. As our family has grown we've had to find bigger houses, and this has been one of our favorites yet! Plenty of bedroom space to give everyone their privacy, and a great common area and huge table to fit everyone for meals, movies, and family games. A wonderful stay!

Amazing property!

We stayed in the area for last 5 years or so, this was by far the best house we have rented. The space is great. Loaded with everything you might need (toys, games, extra pillows and blankets, even inflatable beds..). Communication was excellent, quick. We all really loved it and we hope we can come back again
