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.

Wavehill is off the chain! The web site does not come close to doing this wonderful place justice. You must stand on the expansive decking surrounding the wonderful lodge inspired home to get the full impact of the jaw dropping views! We were in awe of the beautiful vista of forest covered foothills and snow capped Rocky Mountain peaks. Wood burning fires on each of the three levels inside the home provide the perfect complement to the funky, eclectic decor of the owners impressive art collection mixed with rugged, rustic furniture. My boys, aged 10 and 8 could not get enought of the theatre room which is truly first class. My wife and I entertained quests for a Sunday brunch in addition to the many other meals we prepared and felt right at home in Wavehill's perfectly equipped kitchen. If you decide to leave the pleasure of the lodge you need only take a short walk to the "observation cabin" which sits high on a ridge line on the property providing yet another inspiring view. Inside you will find an antique wood stove, comfortable reading bed, and small table and chairs. We spent an entire afternoon reading and enjoying wine from this cozy place. We are already planning our ski trip for later this year!

Me and my family booked this place for the weekend as we are from Calgary. If you want you and your friends/family to get away there is no better place hands down. The pictures DO NOT show how amazing this place is, from the views to all the amenities this secluded property offers. If you are looking to get this and are unsure let this review be a tipping point as we will DEFINITELY be coming back. Also, Chris is an amazing person to deal with so all round this place is worth every penny you spend.

What a treat retreat!

This place is insane! We gathered some good friends together to get away from the city and our expectations we're blown. Wavehill was an outstanding experience and everyone is already pooling money for the next getaway!

Our Friday started in the afternoon with delicious steaks grilled on the propane BBQ, enjoyed on the main floor patio, just off the very well equipped kitchen.. We we're unsure of what we would need for cooking utensils, so we brought the whole nine yards, yet we never even broke into the box. Everything we needed was easily found.

The theatre was our next spot.. Very classy and so comfortable. We were extra pleased that the DVD player accepted our USB drive and we could play our own music and even a few videos worked as well. We were all ready to relax and we thought this was as good as it could get. But then we discovered the steam shower.. Oh did it ever feel good. This was definitely the highlight of the house for us..

For the remainder of the weekend we relaxed to the max! The downstairs patio is absolutely stunning, and most of our time was spent out here. Awesome hot-tub with incredible views and an outdoor firepit for the evening.

Overall, our stay far exceeded our expectations. The house was absolutely stunning and the property surrounding is top notch. Everything was clean as expected, but what set it apart was the quality. From the wonderful beds, to the unique artwork, the firewood chopped and stacked ready for us, everything about our weekend away was sublime.

A Phenomenal 40th Birthday at Wavehill!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 25, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
For my husband's 40th Birthday we rented Wavehill for 5 nights and had an exceptional time. We live in Calgary, so the drive time was < 1 hour, and only about 30 min from Cochrane. The house is gorgeous - log cabin design decorated with beautiful antiques in an artistic style of country/outdoors. We had some friends join us, and we made good use of the hot tub, steam shower, theatre room, pool table, telescope, and foosball table. The table in the kitchen was also perfect for late-night poker games. We cooked all our meals there, the kitchen is fully stocked with all cookware/eatware. We used the natural gas bbq a number of times, and it is well sheltered in case of any rain/wind. Our group spent plenty of time lounging in the deck chairs basking in the afternoon sun. The thing I loved best about Wavehill was the absolute serene calm and quiet - everyone commented about how well they slept at night due to the complete peacefulness. We saw multiple deer, hawks, eagles and squirrels all from the deck. The stars at night were amazing, we shut off all the property lights the one night and gathered on the deck for a little astronomy lesson. We also brought our quads with us, and quadded right on/from the property - exploring all 80 acres. You can access the South Ghost PRA trails right from the property. The owner was very friendly, provided all the information we needed anytime, and the caretaker gave me a great tour and info on how to operate all the house systems. I also appreciated the bottled water (water cooler style) that was provided, and the extra fridge located in the garage loft which was a big help as we had a lot of food there for 5 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Wavehill and had difficulty leaving on our last day - we will be back!!!

Exceeded my expectations

I had my 25Th birthday party at Wavehill and could not have asked for a better place to celebrate. The cabin was absolutely breathtaking from the outside in. The description and pictures for the cabin did not do it justice, it was far more then I thought it would be. The property was well maintained and spotless when I had arrived, and the owner was extremely friendly and a delight to deal with. My parents joined me for the day and my friends later on in the evening, they were all blown away and mentioned that they would soon be booking a stay at Wavehill for a get together of their own.

A fantastic home away from home - all the luxury of a great hotel with an uncomprimised sense of seclusion and comfort. Everything from the view sitting in the hot tub on the deck to the fanatstic pool table area to the fact that every bedroom has it's own bathroom facilities - AWESOME. I travel extensively all over the world and can legimately say that this ranks as one of the best vacations that we have had. Thank you for being so thoughtful in creating and designing Wavehill - we will most certainly be back!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hit The Slopes

5 of 5
Submitted: March 1, 2012 Stayed: April 2011
Stunning cabin with incredible views and amenities. Definitely has the "wow" affect when you drive the road and turn the final bend when The Cabin comes into view. Sometimes the photographs on the website are better than the actual product - this is the reverse. Close to Calgary yet also an easy jump to the Rocky Mountain ski experience. This is a magical cabin to return to after a day on the slopes. Hot tub under the stars a great way to silence aching bodies after skiing.

Canmore and its many international standard restaurants are a 1/2 hour drive.

We have also experienced The Cabin in the Summer months and there is heaps to do in the area including rafting, hiking and ATVing.

A wonderful retreat and great spot to kick-back and rejuvenate at absolutely any time of the year.

I would highly suggest a stay at Wave Hill......the location is perfect being just 45 min out of Calgary, but the feeling is that you're a million miles away from everything. Great place to just relax........ the property has breath taking scenery that you won't soon forget, perfect for a romantic getaway.

I have had a chance to stay here serveral times over the last few years. Wave Hill is a great place to decompress, open up a bottle of wine, play some pool and enjoy the incredible nature opportunities at one's doorstep. The short drive from Calgary is as enjoyable as the private location.
