Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Cottage at Lake Windermere in the Purcell Mountains. It is a 3 hour drive from Calgary and a 2 hour drive from Banff. Our cottage has been recently renovated and it is clean and spacious. Several decks provide you with beautiful views in the sun or shade. We will provide you with 2 bicycles; 2 sets of right handed golf clubs (upon request); 1 stand up paddle board; 1 single kayak; 1 double inflatable kayak; several beach chairs. This location is also enjoyable in the winter and has a wood burning fireplace. Lake Windermere has a groomed ice skating path & a cross-country ski trail called the Great Whiteway. There are ski hills nearby.
