About BookCanmore

BookCanmore is a local and family-owned business in the Bow valley providing vacation rental accommodations since 2014

How It Started

It all started when we purchased a short-term vacation rental. BookCanmore was incorporated in 2016 simply out of necessity, as the vacation rental business was virtually unknown at the time. We identified an opportunity in this lovely little mountain town simply because we were property owners and could not find anyone to housekeep or manage our property. So, we decided to manage it ourselves, our tourists took notice, and upon falling in love with Canmore and purchasing their properties, they asked us to manage theirs as they loved what we did with ours. The rest is history!
We aim to be all things Canmore. If you are looking for accommodations, experiences or returns on your investment we aim to excel in all those areas being the leader in our community to provide these services. Having been operating for nearly 10 years we have in depth experience in the bow valley. During our near 10 years in business, we have been through various market cycles so our ability to provide expert knowledge and data of Canmore real estate is highly valuable. In addition, we are locals to the community and are partnered with various local businesses.
