18 Reviews of Property 287660 in Canmore, Alberta

Hi Laurie and Larry,

I just wanted to write you a quick note and let you know that we had THE BEST time at your condo in Canmore! Aside from dog sledding, we really didn’t have time to ‘explore’ any of the other fun things you had listed, because we were too busy skiing :) We did, however, spend all of our evenings and days off walking around and sampling local life and fare of Canmore and we were pleasantly surprised. First of all, it was amazing that we could walk everywhere- even in the winter! Splitting our time between New York, LA and London, we tend to get a bit spoiled for choice. I was very VERY impressed at the quality of establishments in Canmore. They rank right up there with some of the best food I’ve had...we didn’t even get to try all of the ones we wanted!

Of course, the condo was so lovely and perfect, it was sometimes difficult for us to get up the motivation to leave :) Honestly, what a perfect location! We stayed in the loft since it had such a wonderful, airy feel and waking up to that huge picture window facing the mountains and the sunrise...well, there just isnt a better way to start the day :)

Thank you for the use of your condo during a BIG Canadian holiday. We had been on the road for nearly 2 weeks when we hit your little piece of paradise. The moment we walked in the door it just felt like home. It was truely the first time l had relaxed during our trip. Although our days were still busy and filled with seeing the sights, our evenings were relaxed and enjoyable. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed, along with the nice little extra's in the cupboard. It is hard when travelling to make food as tasty as you would at home, but the little herbs and spices in the cupboard where a nice surprise. The large open windows were lovely and allowed you to really enjoy the view that your condo had to offer. The location for grocery shopping was super, and it was surprising that you could not hear any noise from the street and carpark below. Our little family of 3 fitted well into your condo, and the convenience of you have the playpen for our son to sleep in was great. We all used the top bedroom, and also enjoyed the large spa bath. The condo was clean and meet all of the descriptions stated in the advert, and the pictures are exact. It is a definate what you see is what you get.... If there is one thing that l could change in the condo it would be the curtains, they simply did not block out enough light (especially for us Australians who have the sun going down at 7pm and not up again till 7am!!!) But overall, it was just wonderful. It was our first time at using VRBO and l would not hesitate to use them again, provided they are all as lovely as this property. The owners were also very helpful and easy to contact with small enquiries, responding quickly via email. THANK YOU once again for makinig our holiday a great one.

Thank you,Laurie and Larry for the use of your Condo. It served our purposes perfectly as my two adult children and their spouses met me in Canmore to celebrate our Christmas together on the weekend before Christmas.We had a great time skating on the outdoor rink, skiing and snowshoeing. The Condo was equipped with everything we could have asked for. So much better than any hotel room. The Christmas tree was a fabulous surprise. We enjoyed the Monopoly game, X Box and the rooftop hot tub. Thank you again. I've already recommended it to many friends....Dorothy

Three of us resided in the condo; highlights included great scenic view, good security (codes), quiet, spacious condo. It was conveniently located for incidental shopping. Area maps very useful. Location info accurate, listing photos accurate, place clean + tidy, owner very helpful. I will recommend this condo to friends. B/c we were in town for my daughter's wedding, we only tried 2 cafes; both were good.

We just returned from our first trip to the Canadian Rockies. WOW! It was amazing. When looking for accomodations we started in Banff. We found the prices and availability prohibative. When we found this condo in Canmore we were initially reluctant to rent it because it wasn't in Banff. However, Larry and Laurie were great to work with, and we were wrong about Canmore. We liked it even better than Banff! The views out the huge windows in this condo were amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing games in front of the fire and enjoying the view. The unit was very clean. We walked into town every day (easy, short walk) There are 2 markets very close. Don't miss the little restaraunt "Communi-Tea" it was fabulous. Canmore is great and this condo couldn't have been a better place to stay!

This is a wonderful place to stay. The location in Canmore and Canmore itself is excellent. Close to stores, restaurants, and to Banff. The condo is well stocked with kitchen supplies and has comfortable furniture. Easy access via building and condo codes. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay.
Just 2 of us stayed, but it gave us a chance to spread out and enjoy.

We have just got back to the UK from our (extended) stay at canmore crossing. Thanks to the volcano in Iceland and the flight ban across Europe we got to spend four more days in lovely lovely Canada. As this was unexpected Laurie, the condo owner, couldn't have been more helpful. We extended our stay on a 'standby' basis and this was such a relief as news of our departure was changing by the hour.
Aside from that, the condo is great. Showing fair signs of wear and tear for a property of that age with regular rentals but nothing that puts you off staying there.
What was nice was the, as promised, little extras. The beds were very comfortable, the linens and towels were in abundance and the place was clean, clean, clean. Also, what I liked in comparison with other rentals was that in the kitchen cupboards there were 'little' ingredients so you didn't have to go out and buy bottles of spices/ oils / marinades. Loads of crockery, cutlery and pots and pans, all of good quality.
To agree with another review, it would be a little cramped with 6 adults, unless you knew each other really well, if you didn't by the start of a holiday there, you would by the end! We had three adults, one nine yr old and an infant and it was cozy.
We did wonder why there were so many electric fans in the closets when we got there, when the weather turned warm, we found out why, this place gets hot!
All in all it's a great place, easy to get to, easy to stay. Great location, great owners who provide all the information needed. Excellent find, I would love to return. nuff said.

We were six people having the pleasure of staying in this condo three weeks in january 09. It's a bit tight to stay six people, as two people has to sleep on the couch - but four would be perfect. Never the less we really enjoyed this place and the rooftop hut-tub is super nice after a whole day of skiing! You need to have a car though if you want to go to the ski resorts, as there at this time only is one bus a day leaving from Radisson. We will definately consider renting this place again!
