Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The cottages are cool with well equipped kitchen for cooking, good savings to avoid expensive restaurants! A little isolated from the main town but offers serene environment for a good rest from tiring outdoor activities. It has indoor activities like wall paddling, swimming, and gym in case you don’t feel like going out!"
