Your Cozy Mountain Launchpad & Hospital Hub 
The Space Welcome to the Gateway Suite—a private, lower-level retreat professionally curated for warmth and peace. By choosing this basement suite, you get the full "Entire Home" experience—private kitchen, bathroom, and laundry—at a fraction of the cost of a hotel or an upper-level unit. 
Surrounding area has beautiful parks and playgrounds - perfect for family outings or&nbsp;walks by the river.&nbsp;Whether you are an athlete training at WinSport, a medical professional, or a visiting family, this unit provides a fully independent "home base" experience.
Why guests love this space:
<ul><li>Strategic Location: Tucked away close to the heart of Bowness, you are under 15 minutes from the Foothills Medical Centre and Alberta Children’s Hospital, and less than 5 minutes from the Trans-Canada Highway and Winsport.</li><li>Athlete’s Choice: Proximity to WinSport (Canada Olympic Park), our suite is perfectly positioned for those attending training camps, hockey tournaments, or hitting the ski hill.</li><li>Total Autonomy: Enjoy a private side entrance and a well stocked, homey kitchen—essential for athletes maintaining strict nutrition plans or families wanting to maintain your own schedule and enjoy home-cooked meals.</li><li>Quiet & Restorative: Being a lower-level unit, the space is naturally cool and quiet. We’ve added premium linens and blackout curtains to ensure optimal sleep and recovery for hospital shift workers or those prepping for a mountain hike.</li></ul>
Guest Access You have exclusive access to the entire 2-bedroom lower suite. The entrance is private and well-lit. While we have invested in professional sound-dampening to keep the space quiet, please note this is a basement unit and you may hear occasional footsteps from the separate upper-level residence.
The Neighborhood Bowness is Calgary's Adventure Gateway. Step out the door and you're a short walk from the skating trails at Bowness Park or the local shops of Main Street. This is the only neighborhood in Calgary where you can enjoy a morning coffee by the river and be in the mountains before lunch.
