  Description. The Birch Haven is a brand new luxury loft in the heart of Canmore, just steps away from the trendy cafes and shops of this charming village. We are just 3 mins to the gates of the Banff National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Canada's top vacation mecca. Skiing, golfing, hiking, horseback-riding, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, caving, dog sledding, ATV adventures, snowmobiling, fishing and more -- this is truly an outdoor paradise!
Aesthetics and comfort have been given equal emphasis at the Birch Haven. Remarkably, every single piece of furnishing in the loft was personally designed by the artist-owner to evoke the natural majesty right at the loft's doorstep. Artisans from all over Canada were then commissioned to craft these unique pieces.
The 2 bedroom, 2 bath luxury loft features a 23-foot vaulted ceiling and an 8 foot wall of glass flanking a cozy log and river stone fireplace. Immerse yourself in stunning views whether you are soaking in the rooftop hot-tub, exercising in the gym, grilling on the balcony or lounging on the nail head-studded leather sofa, enjoying our collection of DVDs and CDs.
The fully-equipped slate-floored kitchen is complete with dishwasher, microwave and designer cookware and fit for a gourmet cook.
The centerpiece of the open master bedroom loft is a romantic queen canopy log bed custom-crafted from skip-peeled lodge pole pine. The unusual master bath is open to the master bedroom and features a corner soaking tub. Barn wood salvaged from turn-of-the-century buildings were used to craft the furnishings in the lower level bedroom. These pieces of time-worn wood are accented with slate and antique hardware to create unique works of functional art.
From the towering console table in the dining room, with its 20-foot birch limbs, to the sculptural log towel rack in the bathroom, the Birch Haven is a visual and sensorial delight.
As this is our second home, we are open to NON-SIMULTANEOUS exchanges. But because we rent it out when we are not using it, we prefer our exchange partners to visit us during the spring and fall. We just completed two very successful exchanges in Europe and can't wait to do more!
