Elkhorn At Falcon Crest

About Elkhorn At Falcon Crest

Elkhorn At Falcon Crest is an independently run timeshare resort in Canmore, Alberta, one of the gateway towns to the Canadian Rockies. Being independent means it isn't tied to a big hotel chain's booking system or fee structure — it's run on its own terms, which often means a more personal, small-resort feel compared with branded mountain properties nearby. The resort is affiliated with RCI, so owners can deposit their week into the RCI exchange system and trade it for stays at other RCI resorts around the world.

Canmore and the surrounding Rockies

Canmore sits in the Bow Valley, about 90 minutes west of Calgary along the Trans-Canada Highway, and roughly 25 km from the entrance to Banff National Park. Downtown Canmore, with its shops, restaurants and galleries, is only about 2 km from the resort, and the Bow River runs close by, good for a walk or a spot of photography. Further afield, Lake Louise (around 45 km) and Moraine Lake (around 50 km) are the two lakes most people picture when they think of this part of Alberta — both are well worth the drive for the scenery and hiking alone. The region works year-round: hiking and wildlife-watching through summer, skiing and snow sports in winter, and the shoulder months of spring and autumn for travellers who'd rather skip the crowds.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Elkhorn At Falcon Crest and are thinking about selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner route: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a one-time listing fee rather than handing a cut of the sale to an agent — there's no commission taken by the platform. Interested buyers contact you directly through the site, so you stay in control of the conversation and the final price.

Because Elkhorn At Falcon Crest is independently managed rather than run by one of the big timeshare brands, resale here is typically processed through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than through a large corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for two things: the current transfer fee for changing the week into the buyer's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary from resort to resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. Getting both in writing before a sale closes avoids surprises for either side.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually drawn to this resort for straightforward reasons: a Canmore base close to downtown, easy driving distance to Banff, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and the chance to try a Rockies trip without buying in outright. If you're renting out a week rather than selling, be upfront about which season the week falls in and roughly what a guest can expect nearby — that's generally more useful to a renter than a long list of resort features.

Practical notes for buyers and owners

RCI members should check exchange availability for Elkhorn At Falcon Crest through the RCI directory, as inventory and timing shift seasonally. Anyone new to the resort, whether buying resale or renting, should also confirm directly with management what's included with the week — housekeeping arrangements, unit size and any on-site facilities — since specifics can differ between independent resorts even within the same town.
