The neighbourhood itself has a welcoming, village-like feel. Wander over to local cafés, bakeries, and restaurants, or browse the unique shops and markets that make Bowness feel like its own small town within the city. For those looking to explore beyond the neighbourhood, Bowness is just a short drive from downtown Calgary, Canada Olympic Park/WinSport, and the Trans-Canada Highway, making it easy to head out for a day trip to the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park.

Charming home on a quiet street with a great backyard for my dogs. Convenient to major highways yet walkable to the river and major parks. Will stay here again next time I’m in Calgary.

The host was very responsive and kind. There were a number of broken and missing items in the home. The host has shared that they will look into them right away.
