Who are we?
My name is Rob, and my wife is Martine. I came to the Rockies for a summer camp in 2000 and 2001. I immediately fell in love with the area. I took my wife on a road trip in 2004 and she had the same reaction. It took us 10 years to finally leave the province of Quebec and cross the country with our 3 young children to start a new life in Canmore. Since 2014, we call it home. We love to explore those mountains by foot. We’ve scrambled a few of them and are always looking for new peaks to explore. We now have a furry friend that follow us everywhere, Bernie. You can see him on some pictures. We’ve been sharing our passion for the mountain with our guest since 2015. It’s been an incredible journey that brought us to meet some amazing people.

Staying at the Nest
We stayed for 2 nights. We enjoyed the ease and accessibility of amenities of the town. Proximity of restaurants and shopping was fantastic. A well appointed two bedroom getaway. With a pet friendly location I would have more attention paid to the overall cleanliness of the main area floor and balcony area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 👍

Magpie’s Nest - Best vacation choice!
We go on a weekend getaway with or friends every winter. We have usually just stay in a hotel. This year we chose this wonderful place. Everything about our stay was perfect! The host was wonderful to deal with as well as quick to answer any questions. The condo was a game changer for us all. It was great to be able to have morning coffee, cook some great meals, play games and enjoy a beautiful view with close friends. We just can say enough about Magpie’s Nest it had pretty much everything you would need it felt like we were in our own homes. Beautifully decorated and well taken care of. It will be first on our list for next year’s trip. Dugas/Dickie
