Banff National Park

Great place to act as a home base while exploring Banff National Park. I know the town of Banff might be the normal go to town but my family preferred spending time in Canmore. Grace was a great host and responsive we had a small issue with a smoke detector.

Everything was extremely clean, easy, and comfortable at this property. It had everything we needed, from toiletries to kitchen items to good WiFi to plenty of hot water. The location was fantastic: super easy on/off the highway to connect to Banff Town and the Park. There's not plentiful space for 4 adults to relax on "comfy" furniture in the common area apart from utilizing the kitchen table, but we didn't need that. Highly recommend.

Property worked really well for a family of four looking to spend a couple days visiting Banff. Quick drive to downtown Banff and ready highway access to other sites in the park. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and the area felt safe. Highly recommended and would stay here again.

Great trip to Banff National Park

The location is perfect, just outside of the Banff National Park entrance, 15-minute drive to the busy Banff town. In addition to all activities in Banff National Park, we also enjoyed the Grassi Lakes Trail in Canmore town nearby. Grace H. was a great host. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen cookware, cutlery, utensil, gadgets, drinkware, etc.. were all supplied for making family meals.

Bucket List

Couples traveling to Banff to kick this off our bucket lists. Excellent location, just outside of the park. Kind of an odd set up. Very narrow town house with both bedrooms upstairs. It suited our needed just fine. The main level furniture wasn’t very comfortable but we weren’t there that much.

Great property

The property is wonderful and equipped with everything that you could possibly need. The locaton is great and located just out of Canmore ... its VERY quite and peaceful. The property owner is wonderful. She is easy to contact and to speak with. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The one criticism that we have is that the mattresses are extremely uncomfortable. They are incredibly firm and this made for very broken sleeps for us all. We all woke the next with aches and pains in our backs and necks. This is a deterent for us to rebook in the future. Great property but a change to the matresses would be beneficial.
