Who are we?
My name is Rob, and my wife is Martine. I came to the Rockies for a summer camp in 2000 and 2001. I immediately fell in love with the area. I took my wife on a road trip in 2004 and she had the same reaction. It took us 10 years to finally leave the province of Quebec and cross the country with our 3 young children to start a new life in Canmore. Since 2014, we call it home. We love to explore those mountains by foot. We’ve scrambled a few of them and are always looking for new peaks to explore. We now have a furry friend that follow us everywhere, Bernie. You can see him on some pictures. We’ve been sharing our passion for the mountain with our guest since 2015. It’s been an incredible journey that brought us to meet some amazing people.

Convenient to beautiful Banff
Canmore is a great place to stay - convenient to Banff NP but also vibrant by itself with nice restaurants and plenty of nearby trails and wildlife. Magpie’s Nest was nice; a basic 2 bedroom 2 bath space in a condo bldg close to restaurants and retail. Space was functional but a bit tight for our family. Place is well-stocked and owner was easy to communicate with.

This was a nicely appointed unit that had an amazing coffee machine and comfortable beds. Easy walk to grocery stores and restaurants. It is a bit of a noisier location, but after all the outdoor activities, it didn’t phase us.

First trip to Canadian Rockies
We loved staying at Magpie’s Nest. The property was the perfect size for our family of four, and was clean and comfortable. Canmore is a lovely town and the condo was close to town center, allowing us to walk while exploring. Canmore is also a nice centralized location when exploring Banff and Yoho. We will be back. Thank you so much.

Very satisfied
The property description is accurate, communication with the owner was excellent and always clear, and the actual location of the property for our vacation purposes could not have been better. We loved having grocery stores, other retail shops, and the downtown area within walking distance. Our days were spent out, as they should be in this area, and our evenings were in. This location has easy access to and from the highway leading into Banff National Park. We rented a car in Calgary and enjoyed our exclusive parking spot, just a few steps from the door. We enjoyed every minute of our time in Canmore and traveling around this region. The scenery is stunning and we recommend this property, which we will try to secure for a future visit.

Staying at the Nest
We stayed for 2 nights. We enjoyed the ease and accessibility of amenities of the town. Proximity of restaurants and shopping was fantastic. A well appointed two bedroom getaway. With a pet friendly location I would have more attention paid to the overall cleanliness of the main area floor and balcony area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 👍

Magpie’s Nest - Best vacation choice!
We go on a weekend getaway with or friends every winter. We have usually just stay in a hotel. This year we chose this wonderful place. Everything about our stay was perfect! The host was wonderful to deal with as well as quick to answer any questions. The condo was a game changer for us all. It was great to be able to have morning coffee, cook some great meals, play games and enjoy a beautiful view with close friends. We just can say enough about Magpie’s Nest it had pretty much everything you would need it felt like we were in our own homes. Beautifully decorated and well taken care of. It will be first on our list for next year’s trip. Dugas/Dickie

Weekend getaway
The property was everything we were looking for. We felt very at home here. Close to coffee shops, grocery/ liquor stores and within walking distance to downtown. We enjoyed grabbing our morning Starbucks and heading across the street straight into the trails. Every morning we awoke to beautiful mountain views. The only complaint I would have is that there was no ac. I will recommend this place to others.

Magnificent location
We absolutely loved our stay in Canmore! The condo/apartment had everything you could possibly need and if you forgot something, no worries! You are close to everything! The espresso machine was an added bonus! My husband and friend love their coffee and they said it was delicious. They condo was extremely clean and had one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in away from home. Canmore is an absolute delight! Excellent restaurants, shops and so much more and you are away from the rat race in downtown Banff. Don’t get me wrong visiting downtown Banff is wonderful but I would not want to deal with it everyday on vacation. This condo has great walking and riding paths surrounding it. There are excellent hikes just a couple of minutes up the road. There were Elk and wildlife all over. One day we went for a walk by the Bow River and there was an elk grazing and drinking right by us. I know people say Magpie’s nest can be noisy from the train, honestly I think I really only heard it once. Do NOT that deter you. The spectacular view of the mountains were breathtaking. A must do hike in my opinion while staying in Canmore is Grassi Lakes, it was absolutely magical. We did quite a few hikes everyday we were there and Banff National Park is only 15 minutes away, Lake Louise was maybe 40 away but the drive is filled with magnificent views you forget how much time has passed. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for sharing your home with us! Hope to be back soon!
