CROWSNEST PASS, AB – If you’re ever walking around the Crowsnest Pass area and you seem to stumble upon a little hobbit hole, you’re not crazy it’s actually Lethbridge-based Charmed Playhouses Resorts.

As part of the Charmed Resorts series, three separate cottages were placed in the Crowsnest Pass giving people the opportunity to get away in the mountains.

A fourth cottage is in production and Charmed President and Founder, Tyson Leavitt, says they couldn’t be any busier right now.

Bookings for each cottage are filled nearly all summer long and moving into early October as the first availability for some cottages.

Leavitt’s journey hasn’t gone undocumented, he and his family’s accounts on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, and Twitter have a combined count of over 725,000 followers.

Located in Blairmore, the cottages have 100% no vacancy for months and Leavitt says they’ve been booked right from day one.

“We’re working and building cottages as quick as we can because the demand has exceeded what we expected so quickly.”

Leavitt says he would like to grow these resorts worldwide and have “thousands” of locations.

The cottages are among Leavitt’s long line of successes where he and his wife have taken Charmed to appear on shows like Dragons’ Den, they’ve also had their own show called Playhouse Masters where they’ve built the houses for celebrities like NBA player Stephen Curry and Singer-songwriter Kevin Jonas.

Before the resorts actually came to the Crowsnest Pass, LNN gives an in-depth look at the charmed resorts while in production.

All resorts are located in the Crowsnest Pass, minutes away from Pass Powderkeg Ski Area in Alberta Canada.
