Suitability
- wheelchair accessibleThere is an elevator to our floor. The main door in to the condo is quite wide. However, once you are in the condo there would be some spaces that are likely too tight for a wheel chair. Someone in a wheelchair could get in to the Condo for a visit but if they stayed for a week we suspect using the washroom (no handrails in shower) moving between coffee table and couch in the family room would not be hassle free. The doors inside the condo (to bedroom and main floor bathroom are 29.5' wide (30' doors but with the door stop the actual width is 29.5')

Great location, comfy beds, heated floors!
We had a great stay, and loved the proximity of the grocery store and airport. The rooftop hot tub was lovely as well.
Wonderful condo!
Loved the condo! Watching the sunrise behind the mountains from the living room window was breathtaking. Super central location, well-stocked condo, comfy beds, nice large bath! Would definitely stay again!
Wonderful condo with an outstanding view
Great location and view. The condo was very clean and we enjoyed the roof top hot tub.
Perfect location
Everything was great with our stay. Owner and property manager were easy to reach. Location is ideal and it had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.
Great Location
Everything was as described. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable and the view outstanding. Great location, lots of businesses within walking distance.
Location
Located in downtown Canmore with a short walk to the old downtown main street (< 5 minutes) and all of the shops and restaurants. Also just a 5 minute walk to the Bow Valley Trail area of town with additional restaurants and stores.
Easily access Policeman's Creek walking trail and gain access to the other hiking trails in Canmore from there. Quick 5 minute drive in to Banff National Park or Kananaskis Country (Canmore Nordic Centre and about 15 minutes to Spray Valley Provincial Park). Canmore is surrounded by National and provincial parks and our condo is in the centre of it all.
Walkscore, a website that provides a score for how walkable an address is to other amenities gave our address a score in the mid-90's "Walker's Paradise" (with 100 being perfect). This was after removing factors like schools, that you don't need nearby for a vacation rental.

All our properties are fantastic to visit year around.
Laurie & Larry purchased this Condo in 2002
Why Laurie & Larry chose Canmore
We bought this property for these reasons: Stunning view of the 3 Sister's Mountain Range. The sunrises off the balcony, or family room window are fantastic. Central location between the new downtown core and the old quaint downtown. There isn't a more central condo complex to walk to both areas. E.g., Starbucks, Tim Hortons, grocery stores, restaurants (all within just a couple of minutes walking). Roof top hot tub, fireplace Canmore is a great mountain town. It isn't as touristy as the Town of Banff. Close to the Trans-Canada highway for when we want to drive in to Banff.
