Great Location in Canmore

The location is very convenient to food and ice cream (check out Lovely Ice Cream). The unit was clean and worked great for our family of 8 including 2 children. The owner was very responsive to my questions. The kitchen is very modern and included a nice coffee maker and coffee beans. The beds were comfortable. It is an easy ride to Banff and Lake Louise. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to others.

Perfect for our family - comfy beds, quality appliances, great kitchen. Having two queen beds in the second bedroom was ‘clutch’ (according to the teen kids). Pet friendly was another draw.

Cozy stay for our national parks trip

Nest in the Rockies was the perfect base for our trip through Banff National Park. The location allowed us easy access to the park as well as many restaurants and activities. We loved sitting on the balcony each morning and evening to watch the changing light on the Three Sisters. Robert was an attentive host and we would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!
