Having the location outside of canmore, is really nice and relaxing. Being able to use the hottub, looking out at the mountains, makes things even better. Unfortunately the coffee maker, and soap dispensers didn’t work, so we had to work around those issues

Perfect retreat close to skiing
This rental was such a good value, While this rental was more affordable than others we looked at in Banff and Canmore, I’m not sure why. While the original condos are older, the recent remodel makes it such a comfortable stay. There are great perks like high end mattresses (or at least they feel that way) and reading light right in the headboard. The whole family loved the robes available and while the kitchen appliances are older, it had everything we needed for cooking. We plan to come back to this rental next year.
