| Ad Description: |
The Birch Haven is a new luxury loft in the heart of Canmore,
just steps away from the trendy cafes and shops of this charming
village. Situated at the gateway to Banff National Park, it is a
mere 3 minutes from the park's world-reknowned splendours.
Be sure to visit our website at www.birch-haven.com to see the
slide show of our loft and of the surrounding areas!
This is not your ordinary vacation rental. Aesthetics and comfort
have been given equal emphasis at the Birch Haven. Remarkably, every
single piece of furnishing in the loft was personally designed by
the artist-owner to evoke the natural majesty right at the loft's
doorstep. Artisans from all over Canada were then commissioned to
craft these unique pieces for your enjoyment and comfort.
The 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury loft features a 23-foot vaulted ceiling
and an 8 foot wall of glass flanking a cozy log and riverstone
fireplace. Immerse yourself in stunning views whether you are
soaking in the rooftop hot-tub, grilling on the balcony or lounging
on the nailhead-studded leather sofa, enjoying our collection of
DVDs and CDs.
The fully-equipped slate-floored kitchen, complete with dishwasher,
microwave and designer cookware, is fit for a gourmet cook, while
the custom-designed birch and twig mosaic dining table beckons the
gourmand.
The centerpiece of the open master bedroom loft is a romantic queen
canopy log bed custom-crafted from skip-peeled lodgepole pine. The
unusual master bath is open to the master bedroom and features a
corner soaking tub.
The second bedroom on the lower level exudes a timeless old world
charm. The furnishings are crafted from barnwood salvaged from a
dairy barn built in the 1920s. Handpicked by the owner, these pieces
of time-worn wood are accented with slate and antique hardware
to create unique works of functional art.
From the towering console table in the dining room, with its 20-foot
birch limbs, to the sculptural log towel rack in the bathroom, the
Birch Haven is a visual and sensorial delight...

At the Birch Haven, no detail has been overlooked and no expense
spared. Throughout the loft, you will find little touches that
differentiate this place from any other vacation rental. Mood
lighting at the flick of a switch. Umbrellas and ponchos in the
closet. An antique barnwood armoire brimming with toys, board games,
DVDs, CDs and a surround sound home theater system. Designer linen
and bedding, plus the convenience of a washer and dryer. Spices in
the larder, condiments in the fridge and cookbooks in the kitchen.
Even filtered drinking water, making lugging bottled water a
vacation ritual of the past. All of which serve to confirm that the
owners have made a very personal effort to anticipate and cater to
your needs.
Not only will you want to return to this loft after an exhilarating
day out in the majestic Rockies, you'll wish to return to the Birch
Haven year after year!

Canmore is a spectacular year-round outdoor playground nestled in
the towering Canadian Rockies (just over an hour from Calgary
International Airport) and was the site of the 1988 Calgary Winter
Olympics and the 2002 G-8 Conference. The world famous Banff
National Park is just 3 minutes away and the astonishingly turquoise
Lake Louise is within a scenic 45-minute drive.
There are a breath-taking variety of activites in the summer:
whitewater rafting, fishing, horseback riding, wildlife-watching,
hiking, heli-hiking, ATVs, caving, rock climbing and mountain-
biking. Golfers will find numerous world-class courses just down the
road.
Winter is simply magical. Ice-skate, snowmobile, dog-sled and ski in
picture postcard surroundings! Step out to an extensive network of
cross-country ski trails in Canmore (built for the 1988 Olympics) or
take a shuttle to your choice of 5 world-class downhill ski areas,
the closest being just 20 minutes away.
The array of activities is nothing short of dizzying. That is why
the loft is equipped with the best guidebooks of the area. The
owners have even personally catalogued area maps and brochures for
you... so that you will start your vacation of a lifetime the very
moment you set foot in Birch Haven!
