Our home is located in Calgary, AB. Calgary is most famously known for "The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth", otherwise known as the Calgary Stampede. The stampede takes place the beginning of July and lasts 10 days. Aside from the stampede Calgary has a lot to offer. Lots of great restaurants, breweries, green spaces with walking and biking paths. The rocky mountains including Banff National Park, and Canmore with endless hiking and biking trails are only an hour away. Explore the dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, a 1 hour 40 minute drive from the house. Or one of my favourites, Dinosaur Provincial Park, a 2 hour 20 minute drive.
The space
Our home has been recently renovated and is a lovely, bright space. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with walk in closet. Two bedrooms with twin beds, one has a bunkbed, perfect for kids!
The main living area includes Kitchen, dining room and living room with a gas fireplace. Bathrooms are one floor down and one floor up.
There is a work/craft space one level down from the living area, and in the basement you'll find the tv which offers netflix, and a play area for kids. We have two overly friendly cats and a gecko that would need minding.
Guest access
To access the house there are about five steps to the front door. Our house is a split level house and has lots of (short)stairs, there are five levels.
