About this property

"Poolside Retreat" at Grande Rockies Resort

Summary:
Fabulous resort w/ pool/hot tub! Professionally managed affordable unit in a resort with great amenities - this condo offers visitors a cozy romantic stay, and the perfect base to explore the Canadian Rockies. Boasts a newly renovated bathroom with walk-in shower. Brew some freshly roasted local coffee, take a dip, or relax by the fireplace. 15 minutes from Banff, surrounded by restaurants and cafes, and only a 10-minute walk to downtown Canmore.

The Space:
**Pool closed April 13 - 18 2025 inclusive** **The 2nd floor hallway is undergoing major renovations commencing May 5th 2025. This may result in dust and some inconvenience accessing the door to the condo** Approximately one hour from Calgary, this home away from home comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely covered patio and seating to enjoy a glass of wine or early morning coffee, and enjoy the mountain air. Wood floors, granite countertops, gas fireplace and high end furnishings complete the luxury feeling. The bed and bath linens are 5-star hotel quality, and professionally laundered. The bathroom is newly renovated with a lovely walk in shower. The sofa bed has a brand new mattress and will accommodate 1 adult or 2 smaller humans!

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, 100% natural Rocky Mountain Soap bath and body products. The entire apartment is kept clean using only eco-friendly cleaning products (no nasty chemicals here!).

The apartment is best suited for couples, but there is extra accommodation for 1-2 in the comfy sofa bed if you need it. Building amenities include a pool, waterslide and hot tubs to relax in after a day of adventure, and if you want to work off dinner, there is a small but functional gym on the same floor. If you don't fancy cooking there's a restaurant on site (it's not amazing, but it is ok), and a couple more within a 5 minute walk.

Our summer calendar fills fast so we recommend you book early or send us a message if you have any unanswered questions. If you are traveling on a budget, we are always ready to strike a deal in the quiet season! Our goal is to provide a great mountain experience for great people, so get in touch if you’d like to discuss details of your holiday with us direct.

Guest Access:
You may access all areas of the building - pool, hot tub, lounge and restaurant. The only place off-limits is the front desk, as this is for hotel guests only.

The Neighborhood:
Located just off the Trans-Canada Highway, and a short walk to downtown. The local bus is nearby, and there's a bus to Banff and Calgary close by. If you come by airport shuttle the stop is a couple of minutes up the road. This is a legal, licensed condo, so your booking is assured.

Getting Around:
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. Canmore Roam transit is free to use, and connects to the Banff and Lake Louise Roam service.

Other Things to Note:
Annual pool maintenance closure April 13 - 18, 2025. The pool and hot tub facilities will be unavailable during this time.

Interaction with Guests:
We are professional vacation managers who live in town and will happily offer as much or as little support as you need during your stay. Talk to us for advice on hiking, biking, skiing, restaurants etc. If you need specific equipment for your stay that you don't want to buy, get in touch and we'll see if we can help.

Wouldn’t return

We have stayed in this complex numerous times in great well equipped beautiful units. This was not one of them. My biggest complaint was not being told the pool was not open due to maintenance; we booked a last minute trip during spring break and the pool/waterslide is why we always return to this building. Yes it was listed in the listing but buried in the middle of numerous paragraphs and in my opinion when we got confirmation of the booking it would have taken no effort for them to be like “hey fyi the pool isn’t open just making sure you’re aware”. The unit was incredibly hot despite reading and following the directions on the thermostat. It also is super run down feeling, paint chipping on all the cabinets and furniture. The bathroom was not clean, hair in the shower and gross grout/caulking. The kitchen was not well equipped either; one wine glass, small amounts of cutlery, no serving bowls, no tin foil or plastic wrap. Maybe not a deal breaker for some but we have stayed in lots of vacation rentals and this one just felt cheap and run down. The sofa bed was ok for comfort as far as sofa beds go, but the main bed was not comfortable at all. The parking situation is annoying, someone was parked in our designated spot and all the other ones were reserved for other units.There are tons of rentals in this complex if you’d want to stay here, choose a different one.

Canmore getaway

Enjoyed our 2 nights here. Everything was great. Kitchen was well stocked but if you need tin foil or Saran Wrap make sure to bring your own. Room is overlooking the hot tub so was a little loud at times but we expected that. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Condo!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo! The pull out bed was fine for my two kiddos and the king bed in the master was comfortable. The unit was very clean! There was bear spray and laundry detergent which I appreciated! My 11 year old loved the pool and water slide. Was within walking distance to Rocky Mountain bagel company and other coffee shops. We would stay here again!

Great Stay

The room is great, clean and check-in was easy. Great location. Canmore was so much better than Banff. Great food and grocery walking distance away. The parking is very tight, so be careful with big vehicles. The building was a bit old, but again the room was aesthetically pleasing. I would stay again!

Epic Canmore & Banff Vacation

We had an amazing stay at this location at the end of June. It had excellent walking access to all of downtown Canmore, and right across the street is a direct view of Three Sisters. It was also only about a 20 minute drive into downtown Banff, which was super easy. Communication with the host was ample and clear, we had zero issues with our reservation, checking in, or checking out. The property was exactly as listed and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone seeking to travel to Canmore or Banff!

Overall a great place to stay. Easy to walk downtown. Everything was clean and updated. The management company was also very good at checking in with us to ensure we were comfortable, had everything we needed and flexible for our late check in. Thanks for the stay and I would definitely rent this place again.

Canmore Stay

Me and my partner had a great time in Canmore. The pool and hot tub are just outside so you can hear children in the morning playing. We had a bit of a struggle getting into our room but our host was fast to get ahold of. :)

Our designated parking spot was used by other guests. We had trouble accessing our spot. I would suggest that the suite number be posted on the parkade pillar as others were. We found the floor in the shower to be slippery which could cause issues for some patrons especially older people. Overall was a nice unit in a good location with decent access to the community

Great place to stay!

My husband and I stayed here with our 1 year old son. They provided a pack and play with clean sheets for my son. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s in walking distance to grocery stores, parks, and restaurants/shopping. 20 minutes from Banff! The property manager was easy to get in touch with and was very helpful. We’d stay here again if we’re able to come back!! Canmore is beautiful.

My first childs wedding

The property was as pictures. Problem with a/c...weekend was warm, and temperature inside was 27 degrees. So, first night after driving from Vancouver made for an uncomfortable nights sleep! Did message host (it was the July long weekend, but did not get a response the next day. Seems other people in the complex had same problem..not sure why? Otherwise, very convenient to walk the area, and easy to find. Still would recommend and the price was very reasonable.
