I believe that as I write this on the first day of June, 2008, I am writing about a wonderful event that must now be filed away in memory. For, I believe this wonderful Retreat was sold and the owners, Shirley and Bill are now relaxing in their own home and only cooking for their own family. But, for history... more

I loved this B&B. It overlooks the Olympic Park. Near the downtown attractions. We sat on our porch and watched it snow. It takes an hour to get to Banff to Ski but it is worth the trip. The inn keepers are wonderful. The breakfast was great. We would stay there again. more

I am planning to stay at Ripley Ridge in Calgary very soon, and I was disappointed to see the comments from a customer in Edmonton. I want the staff at Ripley Ridge to know that MOST of us Edmontonians are happy to come to Calgary and enjoy beautiful places such as yours and can do so without breaching the rules... more

My new husband and I were overwhelmed by the beauty of the park like acreage that Ripley Ridge was nestled in. The accomodations were comfortable and well appointed. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the breakfasts were divine!!! The hosts afforded us endless privacy while being gracious and friendly. The ultimate in a honeymoon hideaway! more

It is so refreshing to be served by people who love what they do! Ripley Ridge is an oasis tucked into the bustling city, a place to to go and recharge your batteries and ground yourself in what is truely important. The staff are enthused in providing this environment and a trip there is well worth it. Whether it is... more

I booked what I thought was going to be an amazing, relaxing spa retreat away from home at the "Ripley Ridge Retreat" in Calgary. My friends and I, however, were completely disappointed and shocked that we were treated so poorly and rudely by the owners (a family-run business by dad, mom and son). We were also overcharged for the room... more

We have a no smoking policy at our Retreat and all accommodations are clearly marked no smoking. This client's group smoked in the facility and have not been charged the clean up fee assessed in the rare occasion that smokers ignore the needs of our other guests. The guest has also not been charged for the bath towel removed from...

I was hoping to stay at Ripley Ridge this summer and made my reservation on 2-9-05. On 4-21-05, I had to cancel as we had an unexpected change in plans. I received confirmation from Shawn Ripley via e-mail on 5-6-05. As of today, 6-17-05, I have not received my refund. They still owe me 2,557 CDN. I spoke to Mr.... more

The writer of this review indicates that they stayed at Ripley Ridge Retreat in June. However, they unfortunately had to cancel their guaranteed booking before their stay. This review was written after we had contacted the writer to let them know that the credit card they provided to guarantee the booking was expired and that it would not accept the...

We loved the effect of a secluded scenic location so close to amenities. Add a Murder Mystery dinner to this and it was far more than we could have hoped for. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. more

This Property has been my favorite place for a city escape, with a country feel. The Hillside Cabin is our favorite spot. We come here 3 times a year. more

Ripley Ridge Retreat exceeded our expectations in every way!! We stayed at the country cabin which was very private and cosy with all the ammenities required without losing it's rustic appeal. We loved baths in the claw foot tub with natural spring water. The spa experience was delightful! The breakfast was sensational! If you want to enjoy a little country... more
