Wonderful Stay

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the Cozy Resort Retreat. We brought our large St. Bernard with us and had plenty of room for all of us. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed during our 4-day stay, including a well-stocked kitchen and pantry. We plan to come back next time we visit!

The property is great, host was very good with communication. Only reason I gave it a 4 is due to the lack of coffee shops and dining to walk to. There are many within driving distance just stop before you check in. Place was clean and comfortable would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing holiday

The unit is well stocked, enough dishes, cutlery, etc. Enough coffee to get you started, and even the fridge had the basics. A few extras like to help with cooking were included. Hosts were good to communicate with, and obviously want their renters to have a good stay. The building itself needs a serious update, which isn’t the owners fault. But it’s in a quiet part of town, with a quick 15 minute walk to the stores, and is affordable. We enjoyed our stay

Perfect Stay All Around

First, and most important to us, the place was very clean and just as expected. The kitchen was well stocked, including some condiments in the fridge. The king bed was very comfortable. Melissa and Sean were very responsive and provided timely feedback when we had questions about places to eat or hike. They also provide a pretty comprehensive booklet of information in the unit. The location was perfect for all the hiking and exploring we did in Banff and Jasper National Parks. The town of Canmore itself was nice to walk around and has some nice trails along the river. We would definitely recommend this place to our closest friends and would stay here again if we make it back to the area.
