About the host
Hosted by Carly De Corti
We’re proud to call this area home. We’re from Alberta and have always been drawn to the outdoors—especially the mountains. Spending time hiking, exploring trails, and enjoying the changing seasons is a big part of our life, and living in Cochrane gives us the perfect balance of nature, community, and everyday comfort.
What we love most about this area is how easy it is to slow down and enjoy simple moments, whether that’s being outside, gathering with friends, or relaxing after a day of exploring the foothills or mountains nearby. That same feeling is what we wanted to share with our guests when opening our home.
We enjoy being hosts because we genuinely like creating a space where people feel comfortable, relaxed, and welcome. Whether guests are here for adventure, visiting family, or simply taking a break from busy routines, we want them to feel at home, not like they’re staying in a generic rental.
Hosting allows us to share a place we care about, along with the lifestyle that comes with it: time outdoors, quiet evenings, and a sense of ease. We take pride in offering a clean, well‑equipped, and thoughtfully set‑up home so guests can focus on enjoying their stay and making the most of their time in Cochrane.

One of the things we enjoy most is how naturally the neighborhood encourages being outdoors. Walking paths and green spaces are nearby, making it easy to step outside for a stroll, a bike ride, or a quiet moment to enjoy the fresh air. The area feels open and connected, with wide skies and a strong sense of space that reflects Cochrane’s foothills setting.
Mornings are especially enjoyable here. The streets are calm, and it’s common to see neighbors out walking or heading toward nearby paths. It’s the kind of place where sitting outside with a coffee feels natural and unrushed. In the evenings, the neighborhood settles into a gentle quiet that’s perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring or visiting family.
What really sets this area apart is the balance it offers. You get the privacy and comfort of a residential setting while still being close to local amenities, parks, and easy routes toward Calgary and the mountains. It feels removed from city noise without being isolated, which makes it an ideal home base.
Overall, the neighborhood has a relaxed, lived‑in feel that makes guests feel comfortable right away. It’s a place where you can enjoy simple routines, spend time outdoors, and experience Cochrane at an easy, enjoyable pace, something that keeps us appreciating it every day.
