About this property

Home away from Home - for Art Lovers, Grandparents, or Families

Private Entrance, Foyer, and Deck

Why stay in a hotel when you can have your kids, grandkids, and friends come to you.

This 1650 sq.ft. bungalow is across the street from South Glenmore Park on the Glenmore Reservoir. Walking trails, kids water park, the Calgary Sailing Club, and more make this an excellent home for a short visit here in Calgary. There is even a superb little kids park just 4 houses south of here for entertaining the wee ones. Also near by is Heritage Park, and Southland Leisure Centre with its featured wave pool, water slides, and a wading pool for the very young.

Close to RockyView Hospital, Starbucks, Safeway and Co-Op for groceries, and a local pub for pints or pub food. Numerous close by restaurants, and close to the Glenmore Sailing Club, Calgary Stampede, Chinook Mall and South Centre Mall.

Rental is for main floor of house, with sole access and control by our guests.
The owner's suite is downstairs, completely separate and walled off from the upstairs.
The only common area is the landing at the back door, resulting in rare but occasional interaction with our guests.

The home also features a gourmet kitchen, and is well set up for light entertaining of friends and family. We also feature a terrific art collection largely of works by Canadian artist Tony Tascona, Order of Canada, RCA, LLB

Family were able to stay in a positive home environment while family member receiving treatment in adjacent hospital. Great environment for adults but sleeping mats required for children. Suggest the be available prior to check-in. Overall a great stay.

2 nights to chill in Calgary
The artwork in this home is stunning and by a renowned Canadian artist. The owner was very helpful in figuring out how to accommodate our 2 teardrop trailers. The living room and family room are very nice as are the other rooms. A huge park is right across the street. So nice for walking. The house is not air conditioned but stayed cool enough by keeping curtains shut during the day and opening windows in the evening when it cools down. I’d definitely come back.

Family stampede vacation
House is fully equipped and located in a great area. Lots of space for 6 of us. The owners live in the basement and we never heard or saw them once but they were available if we needed them. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by marty

Host profile image
I'm a father of 3 adult children, spouse of 35 years, long time software professional, and strategic marketing executive. As a young man I worked in customer catering for the CN Railway as a porter, waiter, and 2nd and 3rd cook. For recreation and conditioning, I still play semi-competitive 4 wall court handball, and walk in the extensive and beautiful trails alongside the reservoir and down into the WeaselHead Nature Reserve.

Now a days I am semi-retired, working on the occasional project for startups and scale ups. Most recently I have undertaken art archiving and website development of my father's lengthy art and successful art career.

There's always something to be done!
