About this stay

The original homestead, sleeps ten above the North Saskatchewan River.

Grandma’s House is the original homestead at Blue Sky Ranch and was the first rental on the property. It has been restored rather than renovated: original ceilings, creaky old floors, and vintage pieces throughout. It looks out over the North Saskatchewan River, the ravine, and open pasture.

There is room for ten. Three bedrooms are upstairs, and the basement holds a king bed with its own bathroom and new flooring. That makes two bathrooms in the house, one on the main floor and one downstairs, and none upstairs. If stairs are a problem, the main-floor couch is a hide-a-bed. The kitchen is full-sized, the Wi-Fi is strong, the TV is satellite, and there is a washer and dryer.

Outside, walk down to the river to fish or paddle, watch for wildlife, and spend the evening around the fire pit under a sky with no lights in it. Firewood is supplied. Grandma’s House also stays open through the winter, when most of the property closes. For gatherings, The Granary common space is a short walk across the yard.

Kind Words From Our Guests

Hear what real visitors have to say about their stay. Sourced from VRBO.

  • Annual Girls Trip

    I chose Grandma’s House for our annual girls trip this year and it met all of our expectations! We loved the house and all the creaky noises. Lots of nostalgia there. Jarvis was a fantastic host! He helped make our stay so much fun, and tried to answer all our historical questions. We were able to take walks, go down to the river, have a fire in the fire pit, watch the northern lights, play games, and laugh ourselves silly! The place is so picturesque, and we were so comfortable and happy to be there!

  • Beautiful Farm Setting

    Amazing! Great for everyone, especially the puppies. We will most definitely return. Don’t miss the sunset while sitting on the edge of the river valley.
