We hit the jackpot at Solara Resort. From our initial communication and inquiries, we were comforted by the hospitality and accommodations. Bonus that they had a pack n play set up in advance for our 9 month old. Exactly what we’d want a nice mountain getaway to feel like. Elevator didn’t work one day but the next day it was up and running. Highly recommend!! 10/10

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.

Summer Fun in Canmore

Beautiful & well-stocked penthouse condo! More cooking amenities (Keurig coffee, spices, oils, pots, pans, serving dishes, etc) than I’ve ever seen at a VRBO. The views will amaze you & the location is perfect. There is a lovely bike/walking path next to the creek that leads right downtown too. Everything that you’ll need is included & even a large well-equipped gym downstairs.

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!
