Bright living room with large windows and beautiful mountain views.
Location: Canmore, Alberta, Canada (1.5 Hours from Calgary; 20 Minutes to Downtown Banff;) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Our centrally located condo will feel like your home away from home. We are long-term Bow Valley residents and thus our home features special touches not found in any hotel or typical vacation home. The Condo is 1092 square feet and features a master bedroom with queen-size bed, two walk-in closets and adjoining four piece bathroom. There is a double bed in our den (which certainly beats having your additional guests sleeping on a pull-out sofa in the living room).
The open concept living room-dining room-kitchen opens onto a large balcony overlooking the Three Sisters and Rundle mountains. Our home has a very comfortable feeling. The view is amazing! Local amenities (groceries, liquor, restaurants) are less than a one-minute walk away. With a five-minute walk you can be in the heart of downtown Canmore - full of shops, restaurants, and galleries.
Please note that the private entry to the unit is at street level. Upon entering the foyer area, you then ascend a flight of stairs to access the main living area. There is not an elevator or wheelchair lift inside the unit.

Map & Owner's Profile
Great Value for Families, Downtown Canmore
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Canmore
With our backgrounds deeply rooted in the hospitality industry, it was easy for us to decide to own a vacation rental. We love this area and want to share it with others. Working in a hotel does not offer the same one-on-one guest experience that we can offer in operating a vacation rental.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We have tried to outfit our condo with items and amenities that will make this destination a good value for families. Books, movies, family games and more. The Banff National Park Pass that we include with our condo assists in keeping the day-to-day expenses of exploring the area low.
Owner's Map of Canmore
My husband and I moved to the Bow Valley in 1998 and sought to begin our career in this beautiful area. We had both graduated from Hotel & Restaurant Management and this was the perfect area to learn more about the hospitality industry. What began as "we're only staying for 6 months" quickly turned into "we can't imagine living anywhere else in the world". I found my dream job working at The Banff Centre, and my husband found his dream job working for the Town of Canmore (after 9 years with the Banff Springs Hotel).
