MCM Farmhouse featuring vintage saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna, cold tub and gym | Other in Millarville

Step into a vintage explosion at Farm Two53, one of Alberta's few remaining Mid-Century Modern country mansions nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. While the mansion's restoration continues, phase 1 is complete, professionally designed/decorated down to the last detail. Our 80 acre regenerative ag farm is located along the highway between Millarville and Okotoks, a convenient 15 min. drive south of Calgary city limits and a 10 min. drive west of Okotoks, where all kinds of amenities await.
The 1951 mansion is divided into three distinct spaces, each named after the two sisters who built it - the north wing (Enid), the central structure (Iva, where we live), and the south wing, an indoor swimming pool. We are delighted to offer Enid's space - the beautifully restored North wing of the mansion that exudes vintage charm - and the original indoor swimming pool, converted to saltwater and complete with original Heifetz Rotoflex pendant lights. Carefully designed to retain their original glory, Enid and the swimming pool spaces offer guests a welcoming retreat that comfortably sleeps four guests. You'll have access to two cozy bedrooms with a king and queen bed, a living room with a TV, a dining area for four, and a kitchen fully equipped with all the essentials.
While the exterior of the mansion is still undergoing restoration, you won't want to miss out on experiencing the unique nostalgic charm of the interior. The furnishings and accessories are mostly vintage, giving you a glimpse into the past with perfectly imperfect wood floors, carefully selected vintage furniture (all steam cleaned and ready for your use), as well as classic collections of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books for you to peruse. From the delightful morning sound of freshly brewed coffee percolating on our 1952 stovetop to the gorgeous vintage glassware to sip from later in the day - we're sure you'll feel right at home on the farm.
The unique indoor saltwater pool is a vintage gem! Did we mention the new outdoor Alumitub wood-fired hot tub, the galvanized cold plunge troughs (2), and the outdoor cedar Finnish sauna? Yep, we have those too.
BONUS SPACE - In addition to the restored spaces, we're pleased to offer a special bonus area to our guests as we continue with our restoration work. Our 700 square foot fireside lounge and 800 square foot outdoor patio (includes outdoor dining area) with stunning mountain views are yours to enjoy as part of your booking - completely free of charge! Fun fact - the fireplace lounge and outdoor patio were shared spaces utilized by both Enid and Iva during their time here. Belly-up to the original button-tufted bar or head out to the patio for a game on the vintage shuffleboard table, either way, you won't be disappointed. While we plan to offer these areas as an add-on in the future, they are currently included in the listing price as a token of appreciation for your understanding as we continue the restoration process.
Due to popular demand, we're excited to introduce the spacious 1,000 sq. ft 3-bedroom Ranch Hand House at Farm Two53! Our cozy farm getaway now comfortably sleeps 10+ guests, making it perfect for families and groups. Interior photos coming soon—stay tuned!
Come experience the unique vintage charm of our Mid-Century Modern country mansion and make unforgettable memories in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains!
Other things to note:
Please note that we do not allow pets in our space, but we happily welcome guests who wish to bring their horses and horse trailer for their stay. Our location is perfect for horse enthusiasts, and we invite you to inquire about our horse boarding options during your visit. We look forward to hosting you and your equine companions!
We have a washer and dryer in a shared space, if you'd like to make use of it just let us know and we'll be sure it's available for you.
For any other special requests regarding our farmhouse or property, please do not hesitate to reach out. We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have.
Details worth mentioning:
Parking is available on the left hand side of the driveway in front of the mansion. Tents, campers, or trailers (aside from guests bringing their horses) are not permitted on the property.
We love having children stay with us, but please be aware that we are a working farm with animals and bodies of water (seasonal creek & ponds) that can be dangerous at times. Therefore, CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. And just a head's up - our farmhouse is not childproofed, and we do not provide cribs or baby gates.
You are welcome to explore our walking/cross country skiing trails, but please do not enter barns or fenced areas with livestock. If you're interested in learning more about our regenerative ag/permaculture farm practices and how we grow and raise much of our own food, please ask us about arranging a farm tour (approximately 1 hour long for an additional cost). Skating on our pond may be possible depending on the time of year; please check with us first to ensure it's safe to do so.
Guests are not permitted to host parties, photo/video shoots, or events of any kind. Use your favourite search engine (search Farm Two53) to inquire about photo shoots.
Our entire property is strictly non-smoking/vaping. A $300 plus 5% GST fee will be charged if it has been determined there was smoking/vaping inside or outside the farmhouse.
To avoid any confusion, we'd like to clarify that only the number of guests (including children) specified in your initial reservation are permitted on the property and allowed to stay overnight. If additional guests arrive at any time during your stay than originally stated in your reservation, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation immediately and the full cost of your accommodation rental will be forfeited.
Although we welcome guests with horses, we have implemented a no-pet policy for our guests' farm stays. Although we love pets, we are a working farm with several animals, and it will keep the peace for the animals that call the farm “home.” Thanks for your understanding.
We hope these guidelines make your stay at our farm enjoyable and safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask us. Thanks, all!
