Located in Canmore, at Canmore Crossing, 1120 Railway Ave., 5 minutes from the eastern gates to Banff National Park. Why stay in a small hotel room with no view or amenities, in a noisy area of town when you can have your own condo in a great central location for about the same price. Just minutes to most of what you likely want to do in Banff, Canmore and surrounding area.

Why stay here, vs. another place? For the reasonable price the condo has many extras. For example, a 42 inch HD TV, with surround sound, and a Microsoft XBox 360 and some popular games. A selection of DVDs. High speed Internet Connection (up to 3 Mb/s).
A more expensive set of mattresses than you get in your typical hotel room (the owner knows what it is like to have a bad back). There are books in the suite about popular hikes, a picnic basket, cork screw, a storage cage for bikes and ski equipment, a lot of little things other places don't have.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
Larry is a serial entrepreneur. Having spent much of the 90’s at Microsoft, since 2002 he has helped to create and run a number of Internet and high tech companies. Laurie is a visual merchandiser who travels across Canada for her work.
Both of us are avid travellers. We own 4 vacation rental properties with Laurie managing the bulk of our rentals. Together we’ve spent many months travelling the world (North America - 5 provinces, over 20 states) (World - 10 countries and numerous territories) not counting places we’ve been to individually. Our goal is to do a good job exploring this great world of our in the time we have here.
We are open to trading time at our properties during the off peak seasons. All our properties are fantastic to visit year around.
Why the Owner Chose Banff
We bought at Canmore Crossing, in Canmore, about 5 minutes outside the eastern gates to Banff National Park for the following reasons:
We have a fantastic mountain view
We love the town of Canmore. We like the fact that is isn't as touristy as the Town of Banff but still a great mountain town.
We like our central location between the new downtown core and the old quant downtown.
We love that once we are at our condo we can walk around the downtown core for shopping and restaurants.
Our location is nicely removed from the Trans Canada Highway and situated in such a way that we get very little traffic or train noise.
We decided to buy in Canmore Crossing because its location and amenities made it a special mountain getaway location.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
We believe we have one of the best mountain views in town. Our family room is 2 storeys tall with a massive window looking out at the 3 Sisters mountain range.
You get a full kitchen (see listing for details)

Romantic, large soaker bathtub in upstairs loft
In unit washer/dryer
Large (42”) TV, XBox 360, DVD, stereo
Access to a large roof top hot tub

Down to the little things a lot of other places haven’t thought of such as, tour books of the area, picnic basket, plush towels for the hot tub.

Homeowner Response:
The couch referred too is a queen size pull out sofa bed in the open concept family room. With 6 adults the two adults on the sofa bed wouldn't have the same privacy as the people in the bedrooms. The sofa bed when folded in to a couch is the main seating area in the family room. With 3 weeks of folding the sofa bed in and out I can appreciate the comment that the unit started to feel a bit tight. The condo itself is about 950 Sq Ft (90 sq metres) in size. We also recommend having a car to get to the ski resorts in the area.

We love the Canmore/Banff/Kananaskis area and believe we've set up our home away from home in one of the best possible areas. We've tried to make the unit feel like home with extras like a picnic basket, extra pillows, warm duvets, DVDs, CD's, books, the unit goes far beyond any hotel you'll find in the area and most other rental homes. We hope you love the place as much as we do. For more guest comments, from the guest book we leave in the suite please search google for "discovervr guestbook" (can't put web addresses in the comments)

"The condo was absolutely fabulous. It was cozy and convenient with all the modern amenities we could possibly want. It was the perfect location for going out at night in Canmore as well as easy access to Banff Park and the various ski hills. We especially liked the roof top hot-tub. It was a great way to relax after a day on the slopes."
