About Leavetown.com

Leavetown was founded in 2008 in Canmore, Alberta, a friendly mountain town in the Canadian Rockies.

Having just relocated to Canada from England, I was on a mission to fully explore my new home, and discover the best local experiences and adventures.

I soon realized that I wanted to share my home away from home with others and started marketing local homes as holiday rentals to guests.

My idea was to personalize and simplify the holiday/vacation home booking process, making it easy and accessible to everyone. Being a serial entrepreneur and having travelled extensively over the years I could see what property rental booking agencies were missing: personality! … and so Leavetown was born!

Today Leavetown.com has become one of the most trusted short term holiday property rental specialists. We now represent over 50,000 properties globally with offices in North America, Europe and the UK to ensure we continue to deliver our local touch. Our diverse team of knowledgeable and caring property rental experts hail from 12 different countries, with experience working – and playing – in the worldwide destinations we serve.

We welcome you to Leavetown with us, and make the world your home!
