It is way too much house now that the kids are gone, so Airbnb\VRBO works well for me.

Stumbled open Chestermere in the early 80's on an evening drive in my 20's.
Stopped by the bridge, it was a summer night, the lights shimmering on the water.
I instantly knew this was the place I wanted to live, & only 20 minutes from Calgary.
I loved waterskiing, came out here as much as possible to do it.
Took 15 years, finally bought the 1000sq. ft. bungalow for $266,000 in 2000.
