How far is it from downtown?
The condo is 10-15 minute walk to Main Street. It is a very pleasant walk on a multiuse path (bike and walker).

What are good places to eat around?
We offer a restaurant guide for our visitors, filled with our favorite places in Canmore and Banff.

What can you do in this area?
Lots! Plenty of activities for all kind of people. Sightseeing (a lot of it!!), hiking, biking, paddling, skiing, climbing, fishing, scrambling, skating, mountaineering, shopping... One trip won’t get you through all of it!

Who are we?
My name is Rob, and my wife is Martine. I came to the Rockies for a summer camp in 2000 and 2001. I immediately fell in love with the area. I took my wife on a road trip in 2004 and she had the same reaction. It took us 10 years to finally leave the province of Quebec and cross the country with our 3 young children to start a new life in Canmore. Since 2014, we call it home. We love to explore those mountains by foot. We’ve scrambled a few of them and are always looking for new peaks to explore. We now have a furry friend that follow us everywhere, Bernie. You can see him on some pictures. We’ve been sharing our passion for the mountain with our guest since 2015. It’s been an incredible journey that brought us to meet some amazing people.
We outline rules in our rental agreement.
Having fun and a good time is permitted at all time!

Great stay in Canmore
We had a great long weekend in the mountains here. Condo has everything you could ask for and is in a nice central location. Loved the privacy of the 2 doors to the 2nd bedroom. 1 more chair to cuddle up in and watch movies as a group would be lovely. Other than that, it was great! Thanks guys!
