Photos and Description of the Canmore vacation estate rental
3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, games room, sleeps 8

Wavehill provides a true sanctuary for those seeking a very high-end vacation experience. Much more than a spectacular 3 bedroom log and stone home, Wavehill was built with total Hedonism in mind. Over the years Wavehill has been the backdrop to numerous photo shoots of beauty queens, playmates and actresses.

Guests at Wavehill include famous artists, movie stars and iconic business leaders. Immersed in nature and all its glory on a daily basis, this magnificent hillside property of over 80 acres is bordered on all sides by crown land and the Rocky Mountain Forestry Reserve. Wavehill offers Stunning, uninterrupted views across the adjacent valley to the Rocky Mountains. Wavehill also provides the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, yet is less than an hour scenic drive to downtown Banff or Calgary.

Wavehill is lavishly furnished with exceptional furniture, antiques, memorabilia and original artworks. Other features include a theater, outside jacuzzi, 8 person steam room, pool table, full size-gym and hilltop observatory with 240 degree panoramic views.

This is a destination where you instantly decompress and escape. Because of the homes exceptional hilltop positioning you are literally siting in a vortex of natural energy, its a home of tranquility and serenity that every visitor to Wavehill comments on when they arrive and remember long after they leave.

I arrived in Calgary 12 years ago and had dreamed of owning a luxury resort style log home in the mountains. I searched all the typical areas to find a suitable location, Bragg Creek, Canmore and Kananaskis Country, but found these areas very congested.

What i really wanted was total privacy, complete silence and panoramic views. I couldn't fine such a place and ultimately paid a deposit on a double block in Canmore, but i couldn't get comfortable with the decision that i had made. Fortunately a friend told me of an acreage that had a partially built log home that bordered the Rocky Mountain Forestry Reserve NW of Cochrane.

As soon as i saw the property i fell in love with the possibilities and promptly cancelled the Canmore contract. I spent a year finishing the home and included lots of exceptional features where i could totally indulge myself as well as entertain corporate clients, friends and family. You can enjoy day outings to a number of world class destinations in the surrounding areas and then escape to a place of great beauty, peace and total silence where you can escape the congestion of the tourist destinations.

Mom's 65th

Wavehill welcomed us warmly from the moment we arrived with a front yard dotted with White Tail Deer and that welcome feeling continuing as soon as we walked through the door. It felt like Chis was intentional with his design and decor, like each artifact or art piece had a story to tell and as if he put it thoughtfully there for you to enjoy. The views of the foothills and mountains were beautiful and it was not difficult to sit out in the hot tub to enjoy these sights accompanied by more deer and Saw-Whet Owl visits.
We chose Wavehill to celebrate our Mom's 65th Birthday and I don't think it we could have chosen a better place, Mom thoroughly enjoyed herself and so did everyone else. It catered to our family's diverse wants and needs.
Thank you Chris for creating this space and sharing it with us.

Birthday Celebration

Submitted: January 22, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Wow... Wave Hill!! What a wonderful experience. My Husband and I, with our three adult children and three extended family members stayed in this gorgeous sucluded log home for two nights. Just under an hour drive from calgary this amazing getaway offered breath taking views with absolute peace and quiet. The house itself was emaculate. The beds were all super comfy. The kitchen was extremely functional. Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars...one of my favorite memories. This
very tastefully decorated retreat was exactly the break we all looked forward to. The home had everything we needed. The photos show very well,even nicer in person. I would highly recommend this getaway. My next stay?...Perhaps a girls weekend. I will be back!!! Thank again Christopher.

OUR WEDDING AT WAVEHILL

5 of 5
Submitted: November 3, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
From the moment we arrived at the big Wavehill gates it was a truly Canadian experience. Traditionally designed log cabin 5 star style! Kathryn and I had our wedding on the property at the Observatory lookout in nature with breathtaking views, it was a special day. Wavehill hosted us and our family that came from Australia to join us. We stayed for the week and enjoyed playing pool, entertaining on the big back deck and discovering all the special touches that unfolded each day throughout the cabin. "Always Love Well" was the theme of the cabin and you could feel the energy that Christopher put into making each and every guest that comes through Wavehill feel a unique and wonderful experience.

More than memorable!

My family and I have travelled extensively all over the world. Wavehill was one of the closest to our home and yet also one of the most memorable places we have ever stayed. The property is so private and self sufficient you never want or need to leave. The home itself is very unique, ultra comfortable, and you see something beautiful out of every window. Some of the highlights for our family were taking long walks around the property, roasting marshmallows on the patio fire pit, and once the fresh air had tuckered us out we would all melt into the amazing down stuffed couch and take in a movie on the projection screen. If you are looking to feel rejuvenated after your trip instead of feeling you need a "vacation after your vacation" then this is the place, it seems as if even your soul is at rest in this location. You will also be impressed that you are only a short drive from the city, since you feel like you are a world away. Christopher, Jason and Kathy all went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed and at the same time were not unnecessarily bothered. We loved every second and will be back for sure!

A relaxing summer getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: July 23, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We were scrambling last minute to find a vacation rental when we had to cancel a house boating trip due to flooding - and we were SO fortunate to find Wavehill.

The property is beautiful and serene - the perfect combination of rustic and luxurious. You can go for a hike, enjoy a campfire, and then hit the hot tub or the steam shower and watch a movie on the big screen. The house is huge, with tons of space to enjoy. It rained only one morning during our time there, and we had plenty to entertain ourselves with inside.

The property is also very private and secluded, but is a conveniently short drive from Cochrane, as well as from a number of ranches. We went horseback riding at Griffin Family Ranch, and would recommend it.

Christopher, and the property manager Jason were both very easy to deal with. Jason was there to meet us and showed us around the house when we arrived. We were able to check in early and enjoy the house longer, so that was much appreciated.

Overall, Wavehill was the perfect choice for a relaxing family getaway. We had a great time, and we hope to return for another family get together in the future.

Private, well appointed vacation home! My family and I traveled from Nashville to attend the Calgary Stampede and to visit Lake Louise and Banff. Convenient to these locations. The house is stunningly beautiful. The pictures do it no justice. I can't imagine a better experience from dealing with the pleasant home owner to the fantastic accommodations. Excellent!

Wonderful Corporate Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: July 7, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Wavehill was the site for my first corporate retreat for my staff in June 2012. The staff eagerly began planning the event [to the exclusion of their other duties sometimes :)] like giddy school children. Despite a generous amount of rainy weather, the retreat was exactly what I'd hoped for: a chance for us all to bond and recreate together. Wavehill has so many wonderful amenities that there was never a dull moment. The cooler weather allowed us to have many cozy fires, hot tub meetings :), steam showers, games of pool, and other group games. The photos of this property do not do it justice! We are already planning our return trip next year! Thanks Chris!!

Weekend of Memories

5 of 5
Submitted: June 14, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our family is so thankful for the wonderful memories made during our escape to this dream location with extraordinary views and solitude... with all the amenities to keep three generations of adults happy. Even though the weather was wet and cold it was wonderful sitting by the indoor wood burning fireplaces, relaxing in the hot tub and unwinding in the steam room. It was such a blessing to have no distractions allowing our family to just spend time with one another. We spent as much time as the weather would allow outside on the amazing decks watching the little waterfall, a fox with her babies, squirrels climbing up to the decks, breathing the fresh air and watching the fire dance in the outside fire pit.
Truly amazing!
Thank-you Christopher and Jason
