Great place to stay in Canadian Rockies!
My wife and I stayed in this vacation rental with another couple and it was perfect for 4 people (2 bedrooms/2 baths). Since we were there 2 weeks, having a full kitchen and washer/dryer were invaluable. The place was very clean, spacious and was nicely stocked with amenities (dishes, glassware, cookware, dvds, etc.) Canmore is a great location because it is not as touristy as Banff, but is a great little town with very good restaurant choices. The one time we needed the help of the owners (minor issue) they came right over. The one minor down side of the apartment is it is very close to railroad tracks but because of good insulated windows and doors, it really wasn't a big issue. The other caution we have is that there is no air conditioning which wasn't an issue for us in June, but could be a problem later in the summer. Overall we would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic Canmore Rental!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this Canmore suite. At first we were a little worried about it being overly dim and some of the older appliances - was it indicative of a more run-down place? I was swayed to take it anyway because of Charla's excellent communication and the reasonable price. Oh boy, were we glad we took it!! We arrived with another couple and we were all impressed by how clean and spacious it was. Between three dogs and the three kennels and four adults, we were a little worried about space. It was needless. The space is very functionally laid out and the unit is a good size. The rooms were nicely appointed and everything was so clean!!! We had some rainy days during our stay, so it was very nice to have the movies and games provided. We used the park pass every day. It was awesome that it was included as it was one less thing to worry about. Parking outside was always ample and I loved the location of this condo. We enjoyed the bagels one morning and Thai food for dinner the next. Also, only a two minute walk away is a gigantic shopping complex with Safeway and Sobey grocery stores amongst other things. People have complained about the noise. I guess if you're sleeping in the living room, I can understand that...but if you're in the bedrooms, it was not a problem. We would definitely stay here again. One of the few truly pet friendly places as well - probably would suit families great too. Thanks!

I have nothing else to say, but just good things about this condo. We were satisfied with very nice clean rooms and bathrooms, and beautiful views of the mountains from the balcony. We really enjoy our stay here. We enjoy our stay very much in this condo especially the beautiful scenery.

Great place with everyone one could want!
This condo was perfect for us. The kitchen had all that we needed, the computer/internet access as well as the free long distance calling was a bonus. The washer and dryer were great as well. I think perhaps the couch and loveseat need to be replaced as they are most uncomfortable. That would be our only complaint.

Convenient, comfortable condo
We had a fabulous time using Canmore as our home base for exploring the Canadian rockies. The condo had everything we could want from a place to stay. It is a very convenient location for accessing services, trails, and even the highway to other places. The fully appointed kitchen makes it easy to save money and eat "home" some of the time.The computer with high speed internet saved us from bringing our computer along, and we definitely used the free long-distance phone. We headed into the Banff National Park many days and having the park pass made that easy and more affordable. The owners have really gone out of their way to make this place comfortable and special. The Sobey's market across the railroad tracks made it very easy to save money on food and eat well. They have a good produce department, fresh sushi, and a huge amount of sandwiches and pre-prepared meals. The bagel place downstairs is fantastic, and they serve fresh, locally roasted coffee. It was easy to grab a quick breakfast and be on our way. We're not even bagel people, but these were so good we managed to squeeze a dozen into our luggage to take home. Also downstairs we had a wonderful and affordable meal at the Thai restaurant. While the condo is truly in a great location, it is not the quietest of places. Sandwiched between the highway and the railroad, there is definitely a town vibe and sound. Admittedly, the place is the quietest with the windows closed, but being summer we wanted to open up and let the breeze in. The bedroom is noisy at night with the windows open, but the owners have thoughtfully placed a fan so you can close the window and still be comfortable. And as for the railroad, we actually came to love it! I would highly recommend this vacation rental. It is truly as it is represented. The owners have made it clean and comfortable, the location is convenient, and it's a great springboard for exploring the area.

Oustanding facilities for an amazing value
People who run this business are just passionate about their locale and want every visitor to have wonderful memories of the Canadian Rockies. To achieve that, they provide with fully equipped family oriented apartments so that you immediately feel like home - without the usual hassles you can face when you rent a property. Basic food, family games, local guides, Dvds, towels, laundry, backpack, picnic sets, BBQ, National Park Pass and so on... everything is there, all you need is just to put on your shoes and go hiking! And if you have an issue - like where is the best place to see wildlife? - Charla is there to assist! Many thanks, we will come back for sure!

Perfect Base to explore the Rockies
This apartment was very comfortable with lovely views of the mountains over the train line. It was very close to a large supermarket which was very handy. It had lots of space which was great since we were travelling with a baby. We loved it and wished we could have stayed longer.

Convenient location and good value
The unit is an easy walk to shopping and dining in Canmore. Train provided entertainment, but did not interfere with stay. Conveniences like laundry soap, National Park Pass and day pack added to functionality and value of unit. Although we had a good stay the unit is a little tired and could use painting, carpet cleaning, and general maintenance. Very fastidious guests might be put off by current condition of the unit.

We had a wonderful stay in Canmore. We traveled from place to place for l0 days the this was the only condo we stayed in. It was very comfortable and the location was convenient. Having the dvd player and games was a nice touch. My only comment is that the prospective tenant should be told about the stair. It wasn't a problem for us but I think it could be for someone older or with a disability. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the condo to any couple visiting the Canmore area.

We had a wonderful time at the condo.
We had a wonderful time at the condo. It proved to be a great location and very functional. Condo was competitive with others advertised, extras (backpacks, games) definitely add to value. Building type was not mentioned as well as proximity to train...although I can understand you wouldn't want to advertise the train. It turned out not to be an issue it was only slightly disturbing in the early evening but we didn't hear it much otherwise...I'm not sure whether it is better to warn people or not. The fact that it was a commercial building was a surprise. We passed by twice before we realized we had the right address. This is not a deterrent but because we were looking for a traditional condo building it made it more difficult to find. It may be helpful to disclose more clearly in the future. Place was clean as expected. Use of backpacks, movies, games, internet and park pass were all very huge bonuses and much appreciated by us!!!! We would likely stay with you again if our travels take us to Canmore. Overall we did have a wonderful time though thank you for providing the means to give my young family an awesome vacation ( even the baby enjoyed it).

Perfect location and wonderful extras!
Everything was wonderful! This condo is in a great location. The little extras you had available were also welcome - the park pass made our daily excursions a lot easier, the Deuter bag allowed me to carry something a lot smaller than my normal day pack, and coming home every night made the entire stay worthy of a return visit. We explored as much as possible during our week there, took in recommendations from previous guests, and contributed to the pamphlet pile. The location makes it easy to explore Canmore, Banff, Yoho, Kanaskis, and many other parks in the area! You're also not that far away from Icefields Parkway. Thank you! If we ever stay in Canmore, again, your place will be one of the first we consider.

Great Stay
I stayed at the condo for 2 nights with some of my friends. We had a great time. The condo was very organized and tidy. I loved that everything in the kitchen was labelled and instructions were provided for all the appliances. The BBQ was very dirty so we didn't get to use it - we have planned for a great big BBQ dinner. I slept one night on the pull out couches and the train is LOUD but if you are in the bedrooms it is very comfortable there! I am allergic to cats so there was something on the couch that flared up my asthma and allergies. I really could not sit on the couch for the period of my stay. Rest of the house was clean and "cat free". Perhaps I should have inquired if this was a pet free condo. On call staff was very friendly - I had left my laptop behind and he was very kind to take care of it and return it to me when I got back. Overall great stay! I would do it again (I will just avoid the couch). Thanks!

We had a great time here. There was more than enough kitchen equipment though the corkscrew had gone missing! The staff were on hand quickly and were very helpful. We liked the restaurant Patrino's up the road: walkable so we didn't have to drive and we could all drink! People there were very nice and food was great. And we liked the view, the balcony and the trains. We went to a different lake/sightseeing spot every day. They were all wonderful. What a scenic area.
