About Us
Why Book A Guest Book Vacation Rental?

โ€‹

Since 2006 it has been our passion to create wonderful guest experiences at our own vacation rental properties at Alpine Village Resort in Mara Lake, BC. 

It was this passion that prompted us to launch the Guest Book Vacation Rentals โ€‹in 2017.  We help home owners earn income on their vacation homes by adding their homes into our rental pool.  And... we get to be a part of creating memorable vacations that bring our guests back year after year!

โ€‹

How do we do this?  We pride ourselves on providing great customer service and communication, provide essential guest amenities and our high standards of cleanliness and proactive property maintenance.  Not only do these practices enhance the guest experience, it results in repeat guests and generates referrals, which means consistent revenue for our home owners.
