Access to shared hot tub. 35 min to Calgary limits, 53 min to Calgary Airport; 1h to Canmore, 1h20 to Banff National Park Gates; 1h50 to Lake Louise.

The space
Your 700 sq ft (65 m2) is located on the lower level of an Alpine-Style Home with a private entrance and private patio overlooking foothills, wetlands and a large pond. Wake up to a spectacular sun rise every morning and watch the wildlife just outside your window. This is a green home, powered 100% by a solar energy. Two solar ground mounted arrays are located on the far end of the property. The home is situated on 5 1/4 acres of land and is adjacent to crown land which is a habitat for grizzly, black bears, cougars, coyotes, wolves, moose, and deer. Bear spray and/or bear bangers should be carried at all times when hiking in the area. Strict no smoking policy on the property.
Guest access
Guests will have their own private patio on the lower level but the entire yard is available to guests including the hot tub. A remote key fob to open and close the driveway gate will be provided.
Other things to note
We are a quiet couple in our late 50s/early 60s and we live upstairs. We have 3 friendly dogs and 2 cats. The dogs are very good at alerting us and/or scaring away unwanted visitors so you can feel safe with regards to bears and cougars on the property. We also keep chickens, ducks and geese. The animal enclosure is located at the far end of the property and is surrounded by an electric fence which delivers a jolt of 14,000 volts, enough to scare away a Grizzly bear.
