Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
We are native Calgarians and a family of three. We have a young son. The Canadian Rocky Mountains have always played a special role in our lives. It has been our mountain playground for as long as we can remember. We are an active family that loves what the mountains have to offer. In the summers, we enjoy strolling into town and exploring the pathways. We almost always get out on our mountain bikes for a good ride. When the snow arrives, the Rockies turn into a winter playground where we downhill ski at either Sunshine Village or Lake Louise. When we want to stay close to town, we set out to the cross country ski trails at the Canmore Nordic Center for a day of family fun.
We appreciate good food and wine and enjoy cooking. We are well travelled and love experiencing different countries and their culture.
Why the Owner Chose Canmore
Canmore for us is both a primary and secondary home depending on the time of year. With it being less than one hour away from Calgary, it is a perfect location where we have all of the amenities and charm of a mountain resort town, without it being over populated with tourism. For us, it is an idilic location for rest and relaxation; a welcomed retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Pleasant Condo
Guest: Jon
(St Kitts)
Date of Stay: 12/26/11
Review Submitted: 01/16/12
This is a pleasant 2 bedroom condo about a 15 minute walk from the centre of Canmore. The big strengths are the park pass and fully stocked kitchen, these both reduced our overall costs. Another very nice feature is the level of decoration. The children slept fine on their memory foam mattress, we found that it took us some time to get used to the firmer version in the master bedroom. Rhonda was easy to deal with and our security deposit was appropriately refunded.

November 2011 Visit

Review Submitted: 12/21/11
After flight from UK we were able to follow clear directions received from the owner from Calgary to the door! Secure, heated underground parking was a must for this visit and access to the elevator made transferring luggage so easy. The description and photos did not do full justice to the property - it was all we hoped for and more. Comfortable & clean with a 'homely' and welcoming atmosphere. We had everything we needed with useful extras in cupboards & fridge. A short drive to 'Safeway' for supplies and our holiday began. The beds and sofa bed were comfortable and to wake up and have breakfast with the view of the Three Sisters was indeed spectacular, a wonderful way to start the day! We had a lazy & very relaxing holiday - perfect base for travelling to Banff & Lake Louise or Calgary. Walking into and exploring Canmore ideal, several routes but via 'Policeman's Creek' a must. Have to admit that staying 'home' was perfect too - watching snowboards being packed into cars! Able to visit 'Athletic Evolution' - the gym next door! Would definitely recommend this property - having stayed in Banff on previous visits - we look forward to future visits. Special thanks to Rhonda for everything!

Great View and Well-Stocked Kitchen

This rental suite is reasonably priced compared to similar suites in Canmore. It is located near two of the major condominium resorts (Solara and Blackstone), in a building used mainly by people working in Canmore. The views from the balcony are amazing---one of the best views of the Three Sisters available. The kitchen opens to the living room and is well-stocked (everything you'll need plus many spices and sauces available). There is seating at the kitchen counter (no separate dining table). Beds are "memory foam" and we found them comfortable. No air conditioning, so we found it hot on a hot sunny day, but Canmore often cools off in the evening. Rhonda (the owner) was very helpful and very easy to deal with. The property was clean and well-maintained and the listing photos are accurate.

We stayed at this resort Sept 16th-20th. It was clean and comfortable and had all the conveniences required for our stay, including guide books, pass for the park, and kitchen necessities. There was a beautiful view of the three sisters out our window

The description of the property is great and the help from the property owner was superb. This extremely well maintained and well located condo is perfect for exploring the nearby area. Lake Louise, Banff and the many lakes in the area are all within easy distance for day trips. After a day of activities in the area this is a great place to relax, enjoy the view out the balcony and get recharged for the next day.

Stayed a week at Rocky Mountain Retreat while viewing the beautiful rockies. Accomodations were very clean and the location was excellent for our daily rides and walking hikes. Rhonda was most helpful in providing directions to the location and ample literature was available to guide us to outstanding locations in the mountains. We felt comfortable and safe at Rocky Mountain Retreat and the surrounding area is breath taking. The view of Three Sisters from our balcony was one we treasure. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch at Craig's restaurant while in Canmore and also lunch at the Grizzly Paw - Canmore is an adorable town and we hope to return some day. In all, it was a most enjoyable week at the Rocky Mountain Retreat in Canmore Alberta, CA.

Stayed here for a week, family of four, during our summer vacay in the mountains. First time for the kids seeing the Rockies. The condo was great. Plenty of room, clean, well supplied with everything you could need. Nice to be able to cook our own meals rather than eat at restaurants every night. Having insuite laundry was super handy. The view from the balcony - wow! The location was good and the use of the park pass was a nice bonus. We would recommend this condo and will consider it for future Rocky Mountain vacations.

Review Submitted: 07/06/11
Thank you very much for the use of your condo. It was very nice, clean and comfortable, especially the beds and pillows. Had a fantastic view of the "Three Sisters" from the balcony. The kitchen was complete to enable us to cook meals. Canmore is located in a quaint, charming town and only 15 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Banff. Everyone was so warm and friendly. We particularly enjoyed having the Park Pass available for our use. Not having to purchase one saved us quite a bit of money. It is a MUST to have to get into all the parks. When we plan a future trip to Canada, we will again choose Canmore and this condo! Thanks so much for everything. We hiked everywhere! This was a memorable vacation for us. We had a fantastic time!

The condo had everything we wanted and needed, it was quiet, with great beds/mattresses, kitchen was fully equipped. It was comfortable and cozy, felt like being at home! Rhonda organized all in a perfect way. Canmore itself offered all we were looking for and it was a great starting point for hikes/visits in or around the NP. So, would we stay there again? Yes to Canmore and Yes to Rhonda's condo. Thanks for a great and enjoyable stay
