Let us be your refuge here in the foothills with spectacular views from each the three large bedrooms, each with a private ensuite and fireplace, plus the Great Room with deck and patio, making a total of over 2000 sq. ft.
Escape to the country where there's room to roam, and let the stars get in your eyes by the campfire.

The space
This listing includes all three bedrooms, each with an ensuite and fireplace for ambiance and heat, as well as the Great Room, deck and patio. However, if you have a smaller group, the ROOMS CAN BE RESERVED SEPARATELY BY CLICKING ON MY PHOTO to view all my listings for individual rooms. Trundle beds are available in Cavallerizzo, Chevalier and in the Great Room for an additional cost of $30 per night per person which also includes another set of sheets, a pillow and blankets, and a towel.

The Great Room is a huge common area available to all guests where you can warm up a snack, make tea or coffee and socialize. It includes a huge leather couch and chair, TV, stereo, dining room table and chairs and large kitchen counter for prep. The kitchen facilities include: microwave, fridge, coffee maker, kettle, toaster, electric grill and crockpot.

Attached to this is a deck with two bistro sets and a patio with lounge chairs where you can see the mountains. With advance notice, a barbecue may be rented for use on the patio for $15/day with fuel on the understanding you will clean the grill once you are done.

There is a brick campfire where you can sit out under the stars or make some smores or hotdogs (weiner sticks provided) over the flames barring a fireban by the County of Foothills. Brush is available for you to collect for burning, or you can purchase wood from me for $10 cash for a large bag.

Guest access
The area with the three bedrooms is a quiet zone from 11pm to 8am. If you'd like to socialize, the Great Room across the hall is available 24/7, but required after 11pm and throughout the night, when others would like to sleep.

Other things to note
It is up to each of us to decide if we want to be part of the problem or part of the solution. We are making a difference here by choosing to reduce both light and CO2 pollution.
This is a passive solar house, using no gas, only electricity, 75-80% of which is produced with solar panels. To that end, we appreciate you keeping energy use to a minimum by turning off all lights and heat whenever they are not being used. Please choose to EITHER open a window OR turn on the heat ... I feel silly having to put this in writing as it would appear to be so obvious!
Your sheets will be fluffed a few minutes then dried on the line outside. If you are lucky, you'll get a set that spent a night under the stars and absorbed the dew ... either way, you'll notice the difference because sunlight kills bacteria, viruses and fungii!
We choose to be considerate of our neighbours, both human and animal, by having only motion-detector and hooded outdoor lighting which adheres to the MD's Dark Sky policy, particularly as the Rothney Observatory is only a short distance away.
We all need to do something drastic to reduce our energy use!
