About Us

We run Risecohost because we love mountain living and hosting guests who do too.

We're Joshua and Emma

We've travelled to over 30 countries, so we know what makes or breaks a trip. We're also parents to three boys under five, so we know what a family actually needs on the road, and how badly two people sometimes need a quiet weekend without one. Our homes sit minutes from downtown Canmore and the gate of Banff National Park, with hot tubs, mountain views and full kitchens. Come home to soak after a long day out.

Your hosts here in the Bow Valley

We didn't set out to build a portfolio. We set out to make the kind of place we'd want to stay in ourselves, then we did it again, and again. Every home is professionally cleaned, properly stocked and looked after by people who live ten minutes away. If something isn't right, we're not a call centre. We're Joshua and Emma, and we'll fix it.
