"Simplicity" at Bow Valley Chalets

2 Bedrooms 1 Bathrooms Sleeps 6 Canmore

The condo is located on the outskirts of Canmore, away from the noise and bustle of the main tourist condo area. Legacy Trail to Banff is right out front. All this yet only 5-10 minutes walk to quality restaurants (Sage Bistro, Crazyweed Kitchen). Downtown is a 15-20 minute walk away, or 5 minutes by car. 15 minutes drive will get you to Banff, and 1 hour to Calgary. This home-away-from-home comes complete with high speed internet, good quality furniture and hotel-quality linens and towels. It's not super fancy, but it is affordable and comfortable!

We love where we live, and we love to share it with guests, so when you stay with us we welcome you properly, with added touches such as freshly roasted local coffee and locally made toxin-free amenities by Rocky Mountain Soap Co, including Rosemary and Mint shampoo and conditioner, and Lemongrass body wash. The fully equipped kitchen comes complete with local Eclipse coffee, tea, milk, cooking oils and condiments. For the warmer months there is a quiet, secluded outdoor patio sheltered by beautiful mountain ash trees. This is an older condo complex, but don't let the exterior fool you - the inside has quality furnishings and is kitted out to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

The entire chalet is cleaned using only eco-friendly cleaning products (no nasty chemicals here!). 100% natural and toxin-free! We’re here to make sure your holiday is hassle free.

Best suited to 4 guests in two bedrooms (2 queen beds) but easily accommodates an extra two people on the new sofa bed (with memory foam mattress) in the huge living room.

Canmore offers loads of opportunities for the adventurous and serene alike. Hike, bike, climb, ski, white water raft or canoe, and when you need a little downtime, settle down with a picnic blanket and a book in a park besides the river in summer, or cosy up on the sofa with a cuddly blanket in winter.

Please note, there is a train line through the centre of Canmore, and most legal vacation accommodation in Canmore is close to this line. It does run behind the end of the complex, making it perfect for the little (or big) person in your family who loves trains! The trains run infrequently (around 5 per night). If you are a light sleeper we recommend bringing some earplugs along so your night is not disturbed. In our opinion, the train is less intrusive than a busy road, but we do want you to know about the proximity before you book.

Guests have sole access to the entire chalet.

Bow Valley Chalets is located on the main retail/hotel strip in Canmore. Local buses run past the door, with connections to Banff. Legacy Trail (awesome paved bike trail to Banff and beyond) is right out front. If you come by airport shuttle the stop is just up the road (catch a cab, it's a little far to walk). There are restaurants close by, and the supermarket is a 10-minute walk at most. Downtown Canmore is a 15-20 minute walk away, as is Elevation Place, Canmore’s amazing recreation centre. Mt Norquay Ski is 15 minutes away, 30 minutes to Sunshine Village and 45 minutes to Lake Louise.

Canmore is small and easy to get around on foot, by car or by public transit. There is public transportation around Canmore, and to/from Banff. Information about Canmore and Banff Roam Transit service will be in the chalet when you arrive, or you can look it up online. All of the ski hills are serviced by public transit that runs just outside the door (with connections through Banff).

Outdoor parking for one car is provided on the property, in spot #114. The parking spot is best suited to a small car, but there's other guest and tenant parking at the end of the drive, so if you do have an extra car, there is usually plenty of extra room.

We really enjoyed Jane's place. Its location was prime for being our home base for all our adventures into Banff and Yoho. We ate at restaurants suggested by Jane and they were very good. Jane was quick to respond to our questions. The apartment was very clean. Our only concern was the mattresses. It was helpful that we were exhausted from our excursions to help us fall asleep, but I would suggest a mattress upgrade, or at least a mattress pad, to help with some cushion. I do recommend staying with Jane. She is a great host and her place is in a great location in Canmore.
Thank you for your lovely review and we will be sure to take a look at the mattresses. We hope to see you again soon!

Jane's house was nicely located, close to the gas station, coffee shops, and grocery shops. Jane was also very responsive to any questions.The house was equipped with all basic amenities. Getting around to attractions like Banff Gandola, etc. was easy and close by. The welcome touch of my name, along with the chocolate, was very sweet when we checked in. The only downside was that the house is located between mountains but you could not have any view from the balcony. Also, the feel we got wasn't very nice and comfortable when we went sitting on the balcony after a long day, as the house was still warm. But overall, we had a good stay and I will surely recommend this place.
Thank you for your review Sushmita and we hope to see you again soon!

Jane is really friendly and proactive host. The house is located at very convenient location surrounded by mountains. Welcome message by Jane and chocolate for my daughter made our day. My daughter also liked playing various board games that were available in the house. Overall our stay was pleasant and memorable. I would recommend Janes house and would like to stay there again in future.

This was a convenient place to get around. And everything was provided in the unit. However we didn't expect it was right next to the railway, which there were some trains went by as late as midnight. Also the unit got hot with no AC, and you couldn't open the window during night because the noise.
Thank you so much for your review Lihao. In our listing we aim to be as clear as possible about the location of the unit and that it does not have A/C. We do have fans in the unit to help with the temperature but understand that this may not be enough for everyone.

Janes place was great, has a bust right outside that went into Banff. Deducted a star as the place was always very warm. (It is also summer) Jane was really responsive and helped us promptly when I had an issue with my code for getting in. Would definitely recommend for a group heading into Banff!
Thank you so much for your review Alexandra. I'm so glad we were able to get you in quickly despite the system glitch with the code. We have had the HVAC professionals take a look at the A/C unit since your departure and everything is good to go now. We hope to see you again soon!

This apartment was a great base to visit the Banff area. It’s very spacious, clean and conveniently located. Plus Jane was super responsive! Only cons: no AC can be a bit tough on very hot days, and as mentioned in the listing, the train can be loud. Overall it was still a very good experience!
Thank you so much for your review Anaïs. This unit does not have A/C but we hope the fans provided help with the temperature control. We hope to see you again soon!

Nette, gemütliche Unterkunft in Canmore. Preis-Leistung sind für hiesige Verhältnisse echt gut. Die Wohnung ist groß und geräumig. Alles war super sauber und aufgeräumt. Die Thematik mit dem Zug neben dem Haus wurde schon häufig angesprochen... Uns hat es nicht gestört, zumal nachts kaum Züge fahren. Jane ist eine freundliche Gastgeberin. Die Kommunikation war gut und bei einem kleinen Problem mit dem WLAN konnte sie sofort helfen. Alles in allem ein schöner Aufenthalt.
Thank you for your lovely review Sebastian!

This AirBnB is located close to grocery stores, gas and great coffee. The unit had everything we expected , an equipped kitchen, clean bedrooms, extra linen. The guide to the AirBnB and the city was well appreciated and we always recivied prompt responses. If there is any room for improvement its likely in the internet connectivity. It was struggling to keep when everyone in our group of 4 connected at once. Also, you are very close to the train tracks so there will be so noise though that is true of almost everywhrere in Canmore and didn’t bother us much.
Thank you for your lovely review Pratham! I'm pleased to say that the internet has been fully replaced with a new incredibly fast service.

Amazing little apartment in Canmore! Jane provided lots of great suggestions to eat nearby along with tons of other helpful information in her welcome book. The mountains were beautiful right outside the apartment, and the house was comfortable and clean. We found the wifi cut out at times, but we were only home at night and it was hardly an issue. It didn’t take away from our experience and overall I loved the space!!
Thank you so much for your lovely review Abigail and we will be sure to investigate the Wifi. We hope to host you again in the future!

The unit is very clean, has an extremely well-stocked kitchen, responsive hosts, detailed instructions, matches the description. We were very pleased with our stay. We're quite active so for us everything in town was within walking distance. I loved curling up in the blue chairs by the fireplace, wish I knew where they got them! Only note is we found the mattresses quite firm (does not detract from the rating because I'm sure others prefer a firm mattress, just to be aware of it if you like a very soft mattress). I would definitely recommend this place & these hosts to anyone!!
Thanks so much Alexandra, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in this very special condo!

Great location for ski groups looking to access Lake Louise, Sunshine or Canmore Nordic. Lovely Fireplace. Nice seating area in living room. This is 2nd floor unit so good mobility is critical. The unit does back onto rail line with frequent trains but didn’t bother us at all. Beds and linens were All very nice. Appliances are older but we’re certainly adequate for our meal prep. Nice dining table for 6. A good stay at this unit which is good value.
Thanks so much Jocelyn, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in this very special condo!
