River Wynde Executive Bed and Breakfast

This place, this location and these chicks are the absolute best!
I’ve stayed with De and Di about 10 times in both houses in 3 different rooms. Every time I do, I’m happy I did. This time was for 2 weeks with my family in for a weekend. It’s a fine balance between giving you «alone time» privacy and interaction with «colorful» locals. They nail it. I adore them and their home.
Don’t expect typical. Expect delish breakfasts, cozy room, toasty bed, laid-​back hosts, eclectic/​intriguing guests, hearty laughter, creaky floors, hodge-​podge furniture, and a backyard deck of wonders. Kensington (which is awesome!) is at your doorstep and downtown is a short trip (train or foot — I walk, even in winter!).
I’ve stayed at the Sheraton Eau Claire (once) and the Ramada (once). Never again. Because this place has heart — MY heart.

Looking for a place for my family to stay while coming to Calgary for Christmas, this place came up in my search.
Deanna, the owner of this B&B was a delight to deal with from the moment we first contacted her. My folks live out of the country, so they spoke with her and worked out the details and then arranged to have me go by the place and scope it out. We were planning on having 3 couples stay in the house, so we had a few criteria in mind — I wanted it to be cozy, comfortable and homey, with ample bathroom space and decent kitchen to cook our holiday bird in. We also wanted this to place to function as a meeting place for us to come and go from, for visiting and just general holiday cheer.
The rooms are true to the website and come off every bit as cozy and full of character as they look there. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and look like the perfect escape from holiday visiting (we all need that!). Really, they look like great spaces for curling up with a book and a warm cup of tea. The place is rustic and homey — just right for my families tastes! If you are looking for a chic, modern place to stay you won’t find it here. But what you will find is a sweet character home with down home undertones.
The kitchen is great too, and has a gas stove which I love. I must mention: the kitchen table is so cute! It’s a craft piece with table legs made out of tree trunks — think blond, knotty wood — I don’t really know how to describe it but it works so well in this house. The house has two bathrooms, one upstairs and one down, both with showers. The living room is on the smaller side, an doesn’t have a ton of seating but it’s cozy. And… there is a piano! They had the living room done up with a holiday tree and the exterior had Christmas lights up — so perfect for our family holiday!
The ladies here really got me excited about my family settling in here, and I really felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. I think this is going to be the perfect place for my family to stay over the holidays, I know they will be cozy and relaxed. Located in the heart of Kensi, a hop and a skip from the Kensi pub, a plethora of lovely coffee haunts and resto’s, this place is a gem.
