This 6 bedroom home has plenty of quality living & gathering space. There is a large living area on all 3 floors. Ideally suited for one large or multiple families. The basement features a bar, ping pong & dart room. Large deck & fire pit. Close to Spruce Meadows. The property handles large groups very well. It is often rented by multiple families coming to town for vacations or weddings. There is lots of room for both those who need to be social and those who want peace and quiet. The property is a farm home that had undergone a complete renovation in 2016. The property has 3 floors.
1. Main floor has a kitchen, living area, common bathroom, one bedroom and one master with ensuite. This floor is great for early risers or individuals with mobility restrictions. 2. 2nd floor has a great living room, small office and coffee/sink area. There is a master that shares an ensuite with a kids bedroom. This is the nicest floor and is generally taken by the person booking. It is also the quietest and the best suited for a family with young children 3. Walkout Basement has 2 bedrooms, a small bar and a games room with ping pong and darts. There is also a full TV and sofa. There is a secret "fort' for kids under the bed with a twin mattress.
The fire pit, hot tub and 2 decks are on the back of the property. It is a great space and private from the view of others. It is still worth noting that 250m through the forest is a family home that can hear excessive noise after hours even though you can't see them.
The property is indeed awesome to have a reasonable get together for groups up to 16. It isn't suitable for weddings or other large gatherings.

Our family group of 7 traveled from Nova Scotia for a wedding. The house was perfect for us as it has plenty of space for getting together and the 3 different levels also provided privacy for some down time. Check in was easy and the host was very quick to respond to any questions we had.
Very spacious house accommodated our party of 10 people. The 3 levels of the house provided separate living areas to ensure that everyone had their own space.
The property is surrounded by stunning farmland property. House is massive with enough sleeping and living space for a large group. The kitchen is very well equipped and was perfect for making dinner for 10 people. I’d highly recommend this place to any larger group wanting to get together for a weekend away!
Had a wonderful time here with friends. It is deceivingly large and fit everyone comfortably. Well stocked house and wonderful fit pit. Thanks for the wonderful accommodation.
Our stay was as most vacations to short however we greatly enjoyed our time at the true North lodge, Dan was great to deal with answering questions whenever we had them. Check in was a breeze as well as checkout. It rained most of our stay so we didn't use the outdoors to much but utilized the hot tub and covered patio area. Very neat home to stay in. Would definitely return!
We had 12 people with us, ranging from ages 12-75. There was more than enough room for all of us to have our own space but still join in the common area. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with more than enough supplies for our large group. We also had quick replies from Dan and it was an easy check-in and check-out process. Thanks for having us!
Dan and Tim were absolutely phenomenal they were so quick to help us out when we had any questions. They are the greatest hosts ever I cant say enough good things about them. The property is huge and had everything my group needed. Checking in and out was super easy. I would recommend this place and cannot wait to book this again in the future.
Lots of room and areas for a large group. Huge deck which would be great for the summer (we went in the winter). A fire pit in the front and back. The house was clean, while a bit worn, it was comfy and suited our group wonderfully.
Hosted a surprise 50th birthday party for my husband this weekend! The house was clean, welcoming, spacious and the beds were so comfortable. We played ping pong, had hot tubs, enjoyed the beautiful sun on the deck, BBQ’d our steaks. It was awesome. We had such a good time, we want to make it an annual event with our friends. Dan was awesome as a host, and he really helped make our experience memorable. Thanks Dan, see you next time! Denise

Great Home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the True North Lodge. The beds were comfortable, and the games room and hot tub were definitely a hit. It had lots of privacy and was comfortable inside and out. Would recommend this home for a group rental.
Our little staff of 7 went on a two day work retreat. The space was perfect for eating and working!
Beautiful space. We enjoyed the ping pong, ĺoved the kitchen, walked, sat in the hot tub and enough space to be in smaller groups for discussions after our guest speaker.
We will go back for sure!
This property was great. Lots of bedrooms spread out over 3 floors so little ones could nap or go to bed and the rest of us could gather without disturbing them. Kitchen was well outfitted with everything we needed to cook and house was clean. We were all able to eat together at the dining table: lots of chairs. Even though there was snow we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the sunshine in the afternoon. Would be a very fun place to stay in warmer weather. We had a wonderful relaxing time here.
House was ideal for our large group. Plenty of space for 7 teenage female players with a few parents to supervise. Table tennis tournament, enjoyable fire in the evenings, and a great soak in the hot tub after days of ringette training. Bathrooms were very spacious and a great variety of sleeping options with the 6 bedrooms available. Wildlife viewing was an additional bonus. Would book again. Thanks Dan for hosting!
Absolutely fantastic property and location!!!
An extended family of 10 travelled from Australia for a white Christmas and found this property to be like home. The three levels allowed everyone to live harmoniously together for our 17 days there. The property was extremely well-cleaned, including the hot tub, and our host, Dan, was always on hand if needed. The location was a little out of town, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to everything we needed. We now refer to this property as our "Canadian home". We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything Dan!

Not quite as expected
This property needs some maintenance. It’s a little more rough than the photos indicate.

Could have been cleaner
It was a convenient location for a wedding at Granary Road. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate for the whole family. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcoming roses were a nice touch.
However, the cleanliness of the place left much to be desired. The much anticipated hot tub was unusable, due to an odd smell and slime, as well as a lighter in it. One of our family members stood on an earring that was on the floor. There were stains on the carpet in one of the bedrooms as well as stains on the bedding in most of the rooms. There was wrapping paper between two beds and some of the plates in the cupboard were dirty. There were also other people's clothing left around the house.The barbeque needed a good clean.
This property has the potential to be an excellent place to stay if more attention was paid to the cleaning. The $150 cleaning fee does not justify the cleanliness of the property. We were unable to contact the owner about these points at the time as we were all occupied with the family wedding.

House of Horrors
Furnishings are torn and well worn. Not much was as depicted in advertisement. Many heath and safety issues as well.
There were holes in the deck, no railings on open stairs. A “ bedroom” in the basement had no window, illegal to classify as bedroom as well as fire hazard There was a build up of many years of dirt in windows and sliding glass doors tracks. The BBQ was so disgustingly dirty we would not want to put food on it. There was no air vents in the main floor bedroom for either heat or air conditioning. The bedding should be thrown out as it’s so worn. No pool table as advertised, the hot tub didn’t work either! I can supply photos for each of these concerns and more

About the host
Hosted by Dan Leonn
I am an outdoor kind of guy. We live in Canmore AB and enjoy a mountain lifestyle. I own a few small businesses in Calgary. We renovated this home to a high standard in order to move to Calgary. Once we made the move, we realized that Canmore needed to be our home & we rent this home out in order to live in the mountains.
Why they chose this property
This property is on a 4 acre parcel with hardly any neighbors in sight. The layout has 2 bedrooms and a recreation room on all 3 floors. It really handles a large group well. Allows for different age groups and families to gather without having to see everyone all the time
What makes this property unique
I designed this home as a contractor with a few different themes, I put my heart into designing the renovation
