We loved our stay so much; the cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. Brittney at the front desk was so helpful and kind. Beautiful views and walks all around the property. It was super quiet despite it being the tour drop off point for johnston canyon waterfall. Check in/check out was easy. We 1000% recommend staying here, worth every penny.

This place is an absolute gem! Unplug from technology and enjoy the gorgeous mountain surroundings. The hike up to the falls is not to be missed. The cabin was rustic but full of simple upgrades to make you comfortable. The bistro and coffee shop were excellent. You will love your time there 😊

Cottage was well set up for 2 couples each have their own room. And would be great also for a family. We ate at the bistro I had the canyon burger and the others had the fish and chips . Food was really good and our waiter Rueben was really good. I love being able to hike to the falls before or after the tourist are all gone . This was our 4 th stay in a 3 year period . The views are impressive.

The cabin was sparkly clean, the front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the location couldn’t be any better. The most personal touch was that they left a welcoming note and a bottle of wine on the dining table before our arrival. We loved the experience and looking forward to going back.

What a gem! Cute, well kept cabins of all sizes on a beautiful property by the creek. Coffee/gift shop and restaurant/cafe are just down from the cabins. It is actually on the trailhead to several hikes which makes it extra convenient for an early start or even an evening stroll in nature.

Relaxing

First time staying here. The cabins are old, but very well kept and add to the charm. We loved the little porch and spent a lot of time sitting there, even saw a fox go by. It’s quiet and away from the noise of people visiting the falls. Parking right at your cabin, easy check in/out. We ate supper outside at the restaurant and quite enjoyed it.

The location is excellent for hiking at Johnston Canyon. There is a shortcut path leading to the trail at the back of the house. The bungalow is very well kept. Kitchen appliances are with famous brand and very clean. The two bedrooms are a bit small but cozy. The sofa-bed in the living room is a bonus to us as we’re travelling with friends and need separate beds. Very quiet environment with fresh air. Will stay again if we visit Banff next time.
