There’s a moment on the drive west from Canmore — somewhere past the Continental Divide, when the Rockies open up and the Columbia River comes into view — where you understand exactly why people fall in love with this side of the mountains. Hot springs tucked into canyon walls. Lakes warm enough to actually swim in. Golf courses framed by peaks. Small towns with big personality.
We’ve felt that pull for a while now. And today, we’re thrilled to make it official: Pristine Peak Getaways is expanding into the Columbia Valley.
Already at Home in Golden
For those who’ve followed along, this isn’t our first step across the provincial border. Pristine Peak has been proudly servicing Golden, BC — home to our beloved Riverstone Retreat — bringing the same boutique, locally rooted property management that our Canmore homeowners and guests have come to know. Golden showed us something important: the care, attention, and hospitality that define a Pristine Peak stay travel beautifully.
Golden was the proof. The Columbia Valley is the next chapter.
Hello, Invermere. Hello, Radium. Hello, Fairmont.
The Columbia Valley is one of the most spectacular — and most underserved — vacation rental markets in the Canadian Rockies. Invermere, with its sandy beaches on Lake Windermere and its buzzing summer main street. Radium Hot Springs, gateway to Kootenay National Park and home to the famous mineral pools. Fairmont Hot Springs, where families have been making memories for generations. And beyond — the entire corridor from the Divide down to the lake country is filled with incredible homes and passionate owners.
What we kept hearing from homeowners in the valley was the same thing we heard in Canmore five years ago: “We want a management partner who actually cares. Someone local. Someone boutique. Someone who treats our home like their own.”
That’s exactly what we do.
A Natural Next Step
Pristine Peak was born in Canmore as a locally owned, female-founded, boutique vacation rental management company — and five years later, that’s still exactly who we are. We manage 20+ properties across Canmore and Golden, and we’ve built our reputation on the things that don’t scale badly: honest communication with homeowners, meticulous property care, and guest experiences that turn first-time visitors into regulars.
The Columbia Valley isn’t a leap for us. It’s a continuation. Our guests already flow between these communities — skiing Panorama in the winter, boating Lake Windermere in the summer, soaking at Radium in every season. Our team already knows these roads, these trails, these towns. Extending Pristine Peak’s boutique approach into the valley simply means bringing our standard of care to a region we already love.
And for Columbia Valley homeowners, it means something new: an alternative to the big, faceless management companies. A partner who picks up the phone. A team that treats your property — and your revenue — like it matters, because it does.
What This Means for Homeowners
If you own a property in Invermere, Radium, Fairmont, or anywhere in the Columbia Valley, we’d love to talk. Whether your home is sitting empty most of the year or you’re frustrated with your current management experience, Pristine Peak offers:

More of what you love. More stunning mountain homes, more prime locations, more of the Pristine Peak experience — now on both sides of the Rockies.
