Almost 1/2 an acre on the Bow River, huge fenced yard, hot tub, firepit, games!

Private riverfront retreat surrounded by nature and mature trees with hot tub on nearly 1/2 an acre lot.
Play games, soak in the hot tub, unwind by the fire, or watch boaters drift by from your backyard.
Sleeps 9 comfortably on new Stearns & Foster beds with spacious indoor and outdoor living areas.
Minutes to Bowness Park, downtown Calgary, and an easy drive to the mountains.

This warm and welcoming riverfront home feels like a hidden escape — tucked down an unexpectedly country-like road in the heart of the city, backing directly onto nature (not houses!).

Set on almost half of an acre along the Bow River, this is a place to truly relax. Soak in the hot tub while watching birds, go fishing right outside your door, or lounge in provided Adirondack chairs by (or in!) the river as boaters drift by, play backyard games with friends and family (including your fur baby), unwind on the swinging bench under twinkling lights, or gather around either fire for the perfect evening. In keeping with our quiet, family centered surroundings, if you are looking for a place that is supportive of outdoor music and noise in the evening, you should consider another property.

At the same time, you’re perfectly located for adventure — with easy access to the ring road and the highway west to the mountains for adventure hiking, skiing, boarding, biking and canoeing, or straight east for exploring the sights of downtown or the Stampede.

Inside, the home offers two comfortable living rooms (including one with a wood-burning fireplace), creating plenty of space for groups to relax, enjoy conversation and play games or read a book from the "tiny" library.

Outside, enjoy a fully equipped outdoor setup featuring:
Wood-burning and propane fire bowls.
Natural gas BBQ.
Propane heater.
Five-person hot tub.
Sports equipment including volleyball, tether-ball, badminton, corn-hole, ladder golf, Frisbee golf, Bocce, croquet and lawn darts.

The home comfortably sleeps 9:
1 King bedroom with a new Stearns & Foster mattress.
2 Queen bedrooms each with a new Stearns & Foster mattress.
1 room with 3 Twin beds, including a bunk set - all with new hybrid mattresses.

The large dining table is set up for 8 and can easily expand to accommodate up to 12 guests, plus there's additional seating for 3 at the kitchen island.

The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to large group meals, including:
Gas stove, large fridge, dishwasher, microwave.
Coffee maker, espresso pot, kettle and a selection of coffees and teas.
Blender, waffle maker, Instant Pot, air fryer, mixer.
Complete sets of cookware, bakeware, and serving dishes.

Please let us know if you are travelling with small children and how we can help make their stay comfortable, safe and fun. Though we are not 100% baby/toddler-proof, we will do all we can to ensure you are aware of potential hazards and do our best to accommodate you. We have a crib, playpen, highchair, stairway gates and a selection of toys, puzzles and games.

We welcome your pets and know you will respect our home and future guests by picking up after them and not allowing them on the furniture or linens. Your dog will thrill at the endless opportunities to chase squirrels, but they cannot be left unattended in the yard while you're away or be allowed to dig or create ongoing noise disturbances. We have one large and one medium sized kennel that are available upon request.

If an even greater run than the yard is desired, we are immediately adjacent to the extensive Calgary pathway system and a quick walk to the nearest designated off-leash area.

Other nearby activities include Bowness Park and Lagoon with playgrounds, a free wading pool, and amazing lagoon and riverside skating in the winter. This park also has a restaurant, café, boat rental for Lagoon use, and a mini-train!

There are also a number of nearby sites were river rafts/canoes/kayaks and SUPs can be rented to launch off the beach or float right by your house!

You are within eyesight of WinSport, (just look out the front window!) and walking distance to the restaurants and shops of "downtown" Bowness.

A Superstore anchored strip mall is a 5 minute drive away.

For peace of mind, you are within 15 minutes of both the Alberta Children's Hospital and the Foothills Medical Centre.

Your personal door code allows for a seamless check-in with no interaction with the host required. We are definitely available though! We are eager to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible and are grateful to hear your feedback and any suggestions or requests that we haven’t thought of.

For your safety and our property’s security, please note that there is a video monitoring doorbell located at the front entrance. The video is not routinely monitored – only referred to if there is a concern. The property is monitored for decibel levels (noise level measurement only, NOT audio).

We want you to relax, unwind, and fully enjoy your stay while helping us preserve this special home for future guests and our wonderful neighbours. By booking, guests acknowledge and agree to abide by the House Rules/Rental Agreement and applicable city bylaws. Additional cleaning, damages, unauthorized events or rule violations may result in additional charges or cancellation of the reservation.

A rare blend of privacy, nature, and city access — perfect for families, groups, gatherings and getaways year-round. Check now for availability!
