Enjoy this recently renovated, all-season cozy cabin nestled in the foothills of the Alberta Rocky Mountains - only 30 mins west of Calgary, Canada and 45 minutes from the Rocky Mountain towns of Kananaskis, Canmore and Banff.
It is perfect for an adventure in the mountains, including skiing/boarding, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, rafting and golfing. Enjoy the many visits from the local deer and take advantage of the attached gym/yoga studio. Relax the muscles in the sauna/steam shower or curl up with a book in the cozy sunroom. Explore the many local shops, restaurants, and art galleries that are only a 5 minute walk away.
The space
Walk 5 mins to the local grocery store, restaurants, cafes, pubs and art galleries situated in the beautiful and quaint hamlet of Bragg Creek.
A great place for couples, special occasions, holidays, business, and families while exploring the nearby mountains.
With the Elbow River flowing alongside the backyard (safety is ensured via a cement wall), enjoy the soothing sounds of the water flowing by.
Plan your hiking, cross-country ski, or mountain biking trips with access to hundreds of kilometres of mountain trails right from the cabin, or after a 7 mins drive to the trailheads.
Escape to the many world-renowned ski resorts, less than 1 hour away. Or book a breathtaking mountain trail ride on horseback. Golfing also within 10 mins drive.
After the outdoor fun, come home and relax any sore muscles in the steam shower or sauna. Or soak in the deep soaker tub. Hang outside on the deck after bbq-ing your favourite meal. Sit in the sunroom, or near the cozy fireplace, or snuggle in blankets at the fire pit outdoors. Take in the beautifully treed views with amazing sunset or moonscape backdrops.
And if really motivated the next morning, workout in the gym/yoga studio!
Flat screen tv, free wifi, and multiple board games to play with family or friends.
The kitchen boasts all brand-new appliances, including induction stove, french door fridge, coffee grinder and maker, microwave, kettle, dishwasher. Sits 3 at the island for a quick bite to eat, or enjoy a memorable meal at the large dining table that seats 10.
All rooms are equipped with portable fans.

Family of 5, kids aged 15, 14, & 12. Paramedic/Firefighter, small business owners, massage therapist & homeschoolers. We have our sights set on traveling in the upcoming years. We’ve completed some great home exchanges and really love the experience it offers.
Open to any place and any time that works with our shift work life.
We love animals but unfortunately cannot exchange at a place with CATS; allergic to cats. For our property, if you have allergies, understand we have had occasional dogs.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
