What People Are Saying
Our group had a great stay at the Elk & Owl! The place was exactly what we expected, clean, good location, and had everything we needed. Chris & Tanya were super helpful and easy to communicate with. I would stay here again for sure!
Sarah K. — Guest
Amazing place to relax and be ready for another adventure! Hosts are just as amazing! Quick responses to questions about the area etc. Everything inside the space is self explanatory and perfect. The only thing missing was crystal champagne flutes! 🥂🍾 Thanks so very much Chris, Tanya and adorable daughters! We can't wait for our next visit.

Elk & Owl Mountain Retreats' revenue optimization system took our properties to another level. The local team that looks after my properties is fantastic. They treat my homes as if they were their own, and their attention to detail is unmatched.

We use Elk & Owl to manage our property in Dead Man's, just outside of Canmore, and the team really does a great job. From a free park pass to great cleaners and everything in between — I highly recommend them to manage your investment!
