General overview
Close to the beautiful Rocky Mountains (Banff National Park, Canmore and the foothills) - it's only a 90 minute drive to Banff. There are a few nice Golf courses close by and a great bike path system if you are a cyclist and happen to be bringing your bike to town. As mentioned we are 90 minutes from Banff and mountain skiing, however there is a ski hill right in town at Canada Olympic Park.
- Banff - 90 minutes west of Calgary
- Lake Louse /Moraine Lake - 2 hours west of Calgary
- Edmonton (West Ed Mall) - 3 hours north of Calgary
- Waterton Lakes National Park - 2.5 hours south of Calgary
- Coutts Border crossing to the USA - 2.5 hours south of Calgary
The space
My home is not overcomplicated with too much furniture, I try to keep it simple and tasteful, I live alone so I don't have anything here for kids. It's a brand new house, I have been living here for a little more than one year. It's an open concept and spacious, it's nice and bright with large windows and high ceilings. The neighbourhood is quiet and I have great neighbours. Cute backyard (it's small but if it's not snowy, it's really cute). I do have a propane BBQ and a small propane fire pit and a few chairs outside. are 3 bedrooms but currently one of them is set up as an office/exercise area. I currently have a Peloton, but not sure if I will keep it long term. Master bedroom has a king size bed, the second bedroom has a double bed (smaller than a queen but bigger than a single). I do not have pets (I am allergic) and cannot have pets in my house. I have not called it pet-free as there are 2 small dogs in the basement suite, they do not come into my main floor at all.
Guest access
The living room, kitchen, and dining room (and half bath) are on the main floor. All bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are on the second floor.
Notes
I have listed many "desired" destinations; however, I am open to tons of cities/countries, there are too many to list! Europe is a favorite continent for me, but I would consider lots of different cities/countries.
I have a tenant living in the legal basement suite, she has 2 small dogs. They have their own separate entrance and will not impact anyone staying in the main area of the house - There are no shared spaces with the tenant downstairs. The little dogs downstairs are quiet. As this is a legal suite, there would be no reason you need to cross paths (unless you see her outside as she walks her dogs) or communicate with her.

Neighbourhood
I live in Mahogany which is in the Southeast area of Calgary. It's a newer, beautiful, lake community with pathways, wetlands and parks. I'm not sure if I can get you access to the lake (if you happen to be here in the summer), but I could look into it if it's important for you.
There are lots of amenities close by (4-minute drive), Grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants and other shops.
Getting to my home
It's an easy 35 minute drive (Uber, taxi or rental car) from the Calgary International Airport.
Nearest airport
Calgary International Airport is a 35 minute drive from my house.
Getting around
As I live in a suburb, you will likely need a car if you were staying in this area, there is a city bus stop a few blocks away, but the bus does not run that often.

Andrea
Hi, my name is Andrea, I am a professional working in downtown Calgary. I like to travel a couple of times a year. I live alone in my home and I sometimes travel on my own or sometimes with a friend or sometimes with my adult daughters and 2 grandchildren. If we are travelling as a family, we are 5, the kids are 9 & 16.
I have not marked my calendar as I can be pretty flexible on travel dates!
