The River House

Sometimes the search for a little R&R is thwarted by the time it takes
to escape the hustle and bustle.

The River House, found along the Bow River just 20 minutes south of
the city, is the spot-on solution to your vacation woes. On 32 acres of
sprawling picturesque wilderness, this heritage farm house sleeps up to
eight of your closest friends making it an excellent spot for a fun
weekend away ($550 per night). On a hot day, float down the Bow with a
cold beverage and enjoy two miles of private river banks.

Really feeling the wild vibe? You can also sign up for regular and fly
fishing lessons with some of their experts. If cooking the fish you
caught for dinner isnt your thing, The River House provides full
catering services meaning you can actually sit back and unwind.

Open well into the fall, this charming property could become your
favourite staycation destination. Kait Kucy
