Vacation Rentals by Owner

Great condo

Guest: Gillian T.
Date of Stay: 02/13/12 Review Submitted: 02/21/12

We were very pleased with the condo. The kitchen was well-supplied, good appliances and the owner left olive oil and good vinegar, salt and pepper, etc to make cooking easier. We appreciated the guidebooks, maps etc and a binder with recommendations for restaurants. Very comfortable bed- our chance to try out memory foam! There is no table but the stools at the kitchen counter are comfortable. It was a quiet building while we were there. Would recommend it.

Pleasant Condo

Guest: Jonathan N. (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

Guest: Barbara G.
Date of Stay: 11/09/11 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

Guest: thaidpeople (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
Date of Stay: 09/22/11 Review Submitted: 10/13/11

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.

Relaxing vacation

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.

Florida Travelers

Date of Stay: 08/04/11 Review Submitted: 08/22/11

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.

Much better than a hotel!

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.

Canmore: close to everything

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

Clean and Modern Canmore Condo

Guest: Barbara (Sterling, VA)
Date of Stay: 07/01/10 Review Submitted: 08/24/10

My family and I had a very positive experience in this Canmore condo. The condo was very clean, with modern, streamlined decorations. The beds have Tempurpedic-style mattresses, a very nice plus. The owner was very quick to communicate and very professional. As much as I enjoyed learning to use a french press, I probably would have preferred a regular coffee maker. The location is great - close to so many wonderful sights. Right down the street is a very fun musical theatre. My children both love disc golf and there's a beautiful one right there in Canmore. Banff is a quick drive away. I highly recommend this condo and the owner!

Thank you Rhonda for this nice condo. Everything was there to meet our expectation. The condo is right in the middle of everything, (grocery, hicking trails, restaurant etc..) and far enough from the noise of the highway! It was easy and fast to go to Banff and other places that we wanted to see and hike! The condo is clean, pillows are confortable... The views from the balcony are extraordinary. We are traveling a lot with our kids and next time, we will come back in Canmore Rocky Mountain retreat!

We are a couple in our early 30's who have stayed here several times. It is a short 45-minute drive from where we live in Calgary and has been our favourite place to stay when we go out to Canmore on long weekends. Whether it's winter, spring, summer or fall, it's a great place to stay if you want to do some hiking, biking, skiing or just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax in this home away from home. It has all the amenities you need (even an underground parking stall!), incredible mountain views, and its location is unbeatable! Thanks for a clean and comfortable stay every time...can't wait to go back!

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Canmore. You have a beautiful home with a fantastic view of the Three Sisters and Ha-Ling Peak. It was quiet and had everything we could want and then some! We'll be back.
