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.

Fabulous Canmore

This property was amazing! It was beautifully appointed and the views were breathtaking. This is definitely a condo I wish to return to. While we didn’t need to contact the hosts prior to our stay, I am confident they would have responded promptly as communication prior to our stay was thorough and prompt.

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!

Exceeded Expectations

This property was amazing! The condo was better than pictured....as you have to experience the view from the balcony in person. The view of The Three Sisters is breathtaking! It is clean, beautifully decorated and very cozy. It is the perfect location. I am so happy I picked this for our base. It is close to Banff/Lake Louise without all the crowds. Canmore itself is a gem. Shelyna was a great host. She was quick to respond and made sure I had everything I needed. Her assistant Lizzie is the best! Lizzie made our trip even better! Her ideas and pointers were greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a truly memorable stay.....look no further!!! Thanks Dr. Rice & Lizzie

Lovely penthouse with gorgeous view!

Our family of four absolutely loved this penthouse at Solara. It was the perfect size for our family and was even more beautiful in person. The rooms were large with plenty of space yet had a cozy feel with sitting areas and fire places. The view from all windows and patio was unbelievable -- gorgeous view of the mountains. We enjoyed the patio at all times of the day. Property exceeded our expectations -- very updated and spacious bathrooms, comfortable family room and great kitchen -- and we appreciated the special touches like family games and area guide maps. The property was wonderful - we used the work out room and hot tub. We also fell in love with Canmore -- local feel with great shops and restaurants and not half as crowded as Banff (yet close enough to tour all the popular sights like Banff and Lake Louise etc). Shelyna was a wonderful hostess -- great communication before and during the trip and we could tell she wanted us to have a great time and experience. Thank you Shelyna (and also Lizzie!) for a wonderful Canada trip -- a first for our family!

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!
