Getting To Know The Neighborhood

Downtown Calgary (20 mins): You’ll love being so close to the downtown core, where you can plan to visit all the main attractions like the Calgary Zoo, and Telus Spark Science Centre. Eat at incredible restaurants and get caught up in everything that famed “Cow-Town” has to offer.

University of Calgary (12 mins): If you have a student attending University here or considering enrolling, staying at The Highland makes visiting campus simple.

The Calgary Tower (21 mins): Don’t miss seeing the city from the very best vantage point. Calgary Tower is a must for visitors who want to take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the city you can’t get anywhere else. It’s a fantastic place for a memorable date night or family adventure.

Banff National Park (1 hour): Don’t miss out on the mountains during your stay with us. We recommend planning a day trip regardless of the time of year to either go skiing, boarding, hiking or just take in the beauty of the mountains up close and personal. It’s a must-see!

Calgary Stampede Olympic Park (25 mins): If you’ve come to see “the greatest outdoor show on earth,” The Highland is only a short 25-minute drive from the centre of the festivities.

The Highland is less than a 20-minute drive from the Calgary International Airport. We recommend having a personal car for running errands and getting around the city. However, public transportation and Uber, Lyft and taxi services all have a solid presence in the area.

Comfortable Calgary Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this conveniently-located Calgary home. Not a far drive to downtown, and quite close to Calaway Park for the kids. House was clean and well laid out for our family's stay. Nice quiet outdoor deck to lounge in the warm weather. Useful den/office area upstairs for me to catch up on emails. Outdoor garbage cans were full when we arrived, but owners were fine with our suggestion to leave bagged garbage in the garage instead.

Perfect! Will stay again!
Everything we could have asked for - comfort, spacious, quiet neighborhood, cosy & private patio, backyard for our little pet and thoughtfully well stocked kitchen. This will be our go to rental on our trips to Calgary, especially comfortable with bringing our little dog! Ease for us all! One little thing to improve on: although it has AC it would be nice to have a fan in each bedroom upstairs to help circulate the air when it gets summertime hot.

Great home base for vacation
Overall a wonderful stay here. Great location - we went to Banff, downtown Calgary, the airport and everywhere in between, and this property had easy access to it all. The home was comfortable and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. Kitchen decently equipped. We really appreciate the gym equipment in the basement and the use of the garage for parking. Quiet neighborhood and walking distance to a nice park. We had the wrong code for the front door, but got an immediate response from the host. Also had a minor leak in one of the bathrooms and again got an immediate response and the issue was fixed within a couple hours.

Good location to activities & services
The location of this rental is close to Stoney Trail which is a ring road with close proximity to the highway to the Banff/Canmore area (The Rockies). It is also well positioned for the roads that lead to downtown and the Zoo and Science Centre area. The home overall was great. We chose it mainly for proximity to family in Calgary and the fact that dogs were allowed. The yard is enclosed which was great. We were there in winter but could see it as a great summer location as the deck is nice with privacy and a bbq. The home was very clean. The gym in the basement was good for getting in a workout.

Review of our stay.
Overall the property is very nice and comfortable. A couple of small issues which didn't impact our stay but wanted to note. The garbage bin was completely full when we arrived which made it challenging to deal with complying with the owners requests. We emailed the property management about the front screen door that was hanging loose from its screws when we arrived. But did not receive a reply. It would have been nice to get information on the basics. Example; what all the remotes are and how to use them. On the positive the house is comfortable, quite and bright. I wouldn't hesitate to book in the future.

Great stay with a Dog!
The whole stay was fantastic. Communication throughout was great. The house itself was in a great location to hit Stoney Trail to Banff or jump on Sarcee to the south. Nice little yard for the dog to do his business and hang out. Garage was a nice bonus and big enough to park a pickup truck in.
