Level, narrow section of driveway tucked beside our house. This is an urban residential neighborhood, and your motorhome will be visible to our neighbours. Therefore we ask you to be discreet and quiet. The space is too narrow to use slide-outs. "Water Hook-up" is just our garden hose, which you may use to fill your tank. "Off-leash area" is a public park nearby. Suggested Local Attractions: We are beside a bike path connected to an extensive bike path system. We are 8 minutes walking distance from light rail transit (LRT) which will take you all over Calgary, including the Calgary Stampede. We are 45 minutes from Kananaskis Country and an hour from the gates of Banff National Park.

Location

We live on a hill, where the driveway meets the pavement at a steep angle. This is the reason for the size limit: a longer motorhome might scrape the pavement (bottom out) while entering our driveway, resulting in damage to your unit. Any bumper mounted bike rack or luggage rack is risky, unless significantly higher than the bumper. So a spotter is a good idea when entering. The space is also narrow. This site is not suitable for travel trailers.

    Warm welcome from our host with a drink in the garden. The city is easy to reach by train and you can leave your camper at the driveway.

    Thank you so much, M. and D., for your warm hospitality which was so apprciated after a long day of driving. We had a leisurely walk with the dogs through your quiet neighbourhood and a good night's sleep. It was a treat to have an enjoyable chat with you and to see your beautiful garden. Your offer to sit out, during the evening, and enjoy your garden was so kind. Happy travels on your next road trip!

    We had a wonderful time in Calgary. It was a bit difficult to park our rig due to the extra storage tray we have on the back but we managed to park on their driveway. We enjoyed the green pathway from the host's place to the river and for our dog this was awesome 'cos it is an off leash area. Moreover, we met lovely hosts who invited us for tea. Hope we can come to Calgary in the future.

    I'm sorry this recommendation is so late but we were at the start of a long trip. ilovemymotorhome were great hosts, warm and welcoming. Knowing we had come to Calgary to visit the stampede he was ready with information and advice on how to enhance our experience at the Stampede. Would certainly enjoy staying with them again
