We recently stayed at the Grizzly Hideaway in July 2024. Our family group had 3 generations who ranged in age from 2-78 and we were all comfortable in the home, as there were 4 bedrooms with double beds (very comfortable beds, too!) and 3 bathrooms. The temperature reached 36 degrees and we appreciated the A/C! We were impressed by the owner's attention to detail- there were many extras, and the kitchen was very well stocked with small appliances, dishware, cookware, etc. We prepared almost all our meals there and found everything we needed to do so, as it was all neatly labeled and easy to find. In the rest of the house there were extra pillows, blankets, games, puzzles, and outside was a trampoline, a swing, and a small zipline. We loved the extra large TV in the basement where we watched some FIFA and Stampede.
We enjoyed the access to the private beach. There are shade trees and the water there is so much cleaner than at the Invermere Kinsman public beach, and, of course, much less crowded. Remember to bring water shoes as the rocky beach is tough on feet! While it is possible to walk there, the path is steep and would be very difficult to manage while carrying children, towels, chairs, beach toys, etc. We appreciated the parking pass!
While in Invermere, we would recommend Kicking Horse Cafe- great coffee and we tried their matcha chocolate as well. The Black Forest Steak and Schnitzel Haus was excellent, and we enjoyed exploring the little shops in the downtown area.
