Canmore Stay

This property was in a great location. The apartment was as described online with all amenities available for use. With just a short drive you're in Banff exploring all the amazing attractions. A little more emphasis can be placed on sanitizing the floors but other than that we had a great stay! The host also responded in a timely manner to answer any questions. All in all the unit was comfortable, quiet, well equipped and serviced our family's needs quite well. These hosts know how to treat their guests well! I highly recommend Grey Owls Nest!

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!

a pleasant stay

We had a great time staying in Canmore, overall. There was just a false advertisement from Vrbo as we were expecting to live in a detached house or a chalet, not inside a condo/lodge. We were 8 in total, so it would've been better to stay in a detached house.

very nice property

We were very happy with the place and all of the amenities of the property. Great location in Canmore, beautiful view of the mountains from the deck. Great amenities offered in the building as well as inside the property. It was very spacious with a Well stocked kitchen, including pans, utensils and basic spices, and we loved the espresso machine. Loved the pool and hottub downstairs and the laundry machines in our place. This place helped us relax after long days of hiking and outdoor activity and gear up for the next day.

Well maintained place with great location

The condo worked out great for our family vacation as we spent our days hiking and exploring the nearby national parks and the Kananaskis area. The condo was clean, well maintained, and the beds were comfortable. The convenience of having a park pass, the garage parking, and only being a short walk to the town center was great. The coffee lovers in the group also enjoyed the fancy coffee maker and coffee. We would stay here again! One thought for improvement would be to have a second luggage rack in the bedroom with the king size bed.
