Beautiful home with stunning views

Chief Mountain Lodge was a perfect home for my family of 9. It had everything we needed and was about 20 minutes from Waterton. The outdoor space was amazing. Plenty of room to eat and play outside. Plus the views off the back porch were an amazing way to end the day. Jan and Jimmy were also wonderful and helpful hosts! I highly recommend this home and we would definitely stay again!

Fabulous property with a view to remember

Chief Mountain Lodge is located with quick, easy access to Waterton National Park. The property is so well appointed with everything you need from sleeping, kitchen and dining to a cozy fire pit to games and kids toys. The property manager is very friendly and super helpful. At the end of the stay we left with happy hearts, trying to figure out when we could come back.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Creason

Host profile image
I am not a native to Mountain View area having grown up in Calgary but my husband and I have lived here for the past 18 years. Three of our 5 children also live here and 13 of our 17 grandchildren. I was a Dental Hygienist for 30 years but have been in the hospitality industry for the past 18 years in Waterton and in Mountain View. So you could say I went from cleaning teeth to cleaning toilets!! I hope that your stay at Rocky Mountain Guest House will enable you to get out and explore this part of Southern Alberta and come to love it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

You never get tired of viewing Chief Mountain, weather it be in the early morning, late evening, or seeing the storms surround it's grandeur. You may also enjoy the shaded lawn area, reading a book and looking up to take in the view and bird watching.
