Hello and welcome! We’re Dallas and Richard Colwell, and we’re delighted you’re here.
Our hosting story started with a gentle push: after 10 months and not a single booking through a management company, we rolled up our sleeves and did it ourselves. That’s how Rentals in the Rockies was born—less “grand plan,” more “let’s make this brilliant for guests.” Fifteen years on, we’ve loved meeting the families and friends who return again and again.
Dallas designs each suite to feel like a peaceful retreat—warm, calm, and beautifully put together. And because we’re family-run, we obsess a little over the small things: the basics you need are ready when you arrive, and there’s usually a little local chocolate waiting too. (Try not to eat it all at once… or do. We won’t tell.) If you fancy more, Canmore’s Le Chocolatier is a must.
Dallas is also an actress (you may have spotted her in productions like Star Wars, The Crown, or Downton Abbey). Richard sings and plays keyboards professionally and is the behind-the-scenes tech chap—so if you notice a typo, you’ll know exactly who to blame!
We both adore Canmore because it’s lively all year round—there’s always something to do, whichever season you visit.
Come, settle in, and enjoy the Rockies. We’ll take care of the rest.
