About this property

Skiers Respite Solar A Resort

Welcome to the Zen Penthouse – your mountain retreat for ultimate relaxation, comfort, and inspiration.

Step into a world of warmth and tranquility in this luxurious penthouse mountain suite, where floor-to-ceiling windows unveil breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies from every room. Cozy up by the fireplaces beneath soaring ceilings, surrounded by inviting Hygge-inspired decor and unique, exotic art that makes this space truly special. You’ll unwind in spa-like bathrooms featuring multi-jetted showers and deep soaker tubs—the perfect escape after a day of adventure.

Enjoy the freedom to create delicious meals in a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, or fire up the outdoor grill. Complimentary tea, coffee, oil, and spices are provided to make you feel right at home. From high-speed Wi-Fi and in-suite laundry to Apple TVs in both bedrooms and a 55" Samsung Smart TV in the living area, every amenity has been thoughtfully prepared for your comfort.

Your stay includes access to heated underground parking, the resort’s gym, and hot pools for a soothing soak. For a truly indulgent experience, pamper yourself with a massage, steam, or sauna session at the renowned One Wellness spa just below the penthouse (at an additional cost).

With fresh mountain air, quiet surroundings, and a relaxed resort ambiance, this is an ideal setting for couples, families, or guests seeking peace and privacy. The charming town center is a scenic 15-minute stroll along the creek, and you’ll have easy access to local transit, ski hill shuttles, and taxi services.

Convenience, luxurious comfort and Incredible View!

I highly recommend this VRBO stay in Canmore. Fabulous view, well-equipped kitchen and cozy, comfortable living space with luxurious bathroom tubs for soaking. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and we chose Canmore over Banff to avoid the crazy crowds and selected this VRBO stay for convenient day trips into Banff and Lake Louise. Man we were so pleased with this decision. The host has created the perfect experience to enjoy convenience, relaxation and balanced comfort. We definitely would stay here again and happily share this top rating VRBO member recommendation.

Perfection!

The property was clean, perfect location, beautiful views and most importantly the check in process and communication was smooth. We spent a week at the property and felt wonderfully relaxed with spa like amenities including an amazing shower. We have two children and the host was nice enough to provide two twin beds so they didn't have to share a bed. I honestly couldn't ask for more. Thank you so much for allowing our family to stay at your condo!

Perfect Stay in Canmore

Beautiful condo with great views. Celebrated my birthday with a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Could not have found a more perfect place to go. Condo was comfortable and spotless, communication with owner was easy and location was perfect. Cooked meals in the well appointed kitchen (even had a wine cooler) and an easy walk into town. Having a indoor parking garage made it so nice to get into the car when we wanted to go exploring. Would definitely stay again!

The perfect getaway

All the reviews were spot on with this property. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The view from the deck is exactly what you would want visiting such a beautiful place, and the amenities offered in the space as well as the resort provide anything you would ever need and more. We look forward to visiting again and possibly bringing family along. The location is a quick drive to great restaurants and recreation in Canmore and is just a short drive from Banff and beyond. The space was pristine, cozy and the check-in process was thorough and very helpful.

What an amazing property!

The condo is exactly as pictured and described. It has high quality cooking needs - just like home. We've rented many VRBO's over the years, but this is the first time Mrs Meyers hand and dish soaps were there! The owner is very easy to communicate with. When she learned that our 19 year old son would be in the second bedroom, she offered to merge the two twins into a king. The bathrooms are incredible. Also the first time I've seen a curling iron provided instead of just a blow dryer. Eating on the balcony was so relaxing! I just cannot say enough!

About the host

Hosted by Dr. Shelyna Rice

Host profile image
A dedicated traveler, I love to meet new friends. I have travelled to many exotic places and have hosted many exotic guests in my homes. While travelling for pleasure or business, I prefer to stay with local families and integrate culturally. I am very respectful of my host's homes and expect the same from my guests. My enjoyment in life is about creating global friendships and family.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Calgary, Banff National Park was our backyard where we played and explored the outdoors. After my children were born abroad, I brought them to Canmore, several times a year, to share the Canadian Rockies with them and we stayed at Solara and drove into the Park. We stayed at Solara because we all enjoy luxury, which was not readily available within the park system. One year, my son said "Why don't you buy this condo?". That was the seed which grew in the next couple of years into the purchase of this very property. We looked at and stayed at the other resorts, but Solara had a solidity, a charm about it that none other had. So we decided to make it ours, which allowed us the opportunity to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

Solara resort and Spa is ideally located: It is a 10 minute drive to entrance of Banff National Park, 15 minute walk to downtown Canmore, and is in the in a quiet, landscaped area away from traffic noise. This Penthouse is the absolute best of the 200 units at the Solara Resort and Spa. There are several reasons the we absolutely love this unit. It is on the top floor, has high ceilings, is big and spacious, has granite countertops, large tubs, multi-jet showers, huge balcony and the biggest reason is that this unit offers the breathtaking views of the 3 Sisters and the Ha Ling mountains. The other selling points were the largest hot tub in Canmore and access to the OneWellness Spa which offers complimentary use of the gym and paid full spa services including massages. This beautiful place allows one to enter heavenly states without leaving the earth!
