Basecamp for Adventure East of Banff

It is a beautifully designed ranch house with an equally stunning view of the mountains of Banff National Park. Set on 480 acres of rolling foothills between Calgary and Banff/Canmore, the ranch sleeps 10 people. This is our hiking + skiing basecamp.

THE SPACE: You will not find another ranch house designed like this. It has massive log beams holding up the roof and floor to ceiling windows on the south and west sides. The ranch house itself is actually two buildings (main house and the guest house) connected with a large outdoor covered patio space that we call the breezeway. The main house is a fully open space with logs arranged to form 2 adjacent hexagons, 12 inch thick cement walls that encase floor-to-ceiling windows across the south and west sides of the structure. It has a large wood-burning fireplace in addition to the in-floor heating to create a cozy space when you relax on the couches or the murphy bed. The kitchen is fully functional, with the centre-piece of it being a 15 foot long Island. The main house bathroom is stunning with a huge bathtub and shower area and tile throughout. The guest house contains 4 bedrooms with a total of 3 queen-sized beds and 4 single beds. It has warm cork flooring, its own 1/2 bath and high ceilings. Each bedroom accommodates the following: Bedroom one: one queen bed Bedroom two: one queen bed Bedroom three: one queen bed and one single bed. Bedroom four: three single beds Murphy bed: This queen bed is located in the main house. It is in the open living space but is the best place to wake up to the stunning mountain view. Around the house you will find a rundle stone patio on the southwest side with a rustic firepit and seating around it. between the two buildings is the 800 square foot breezeway, with a 16 foot long handcrafted wood table with benches (created using timber from the property). On the south and southwest side is our 4500 square foot grass lawn that is very kid-friendly.
