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.

The perfect place for a week in the Canadian Rockies. Super clean and quiet. Grace, our host, responded promptly to any questions and provided helpful information. Nice view from the balcony upstairs. All the cupboards are labeled so everything is easy to find. We will be back!

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.

This property was just outside the park entrance and very near to Canmore -extremely convenient. The property was well-appointed, clean, felt safe, and just the right size for my family of 3 (2 adult children). Very happy with this, and would stay again.

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.

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.

A pleasant stay

My family stayed at this cozy 2-bed-room town home during our visit to the Banff National Park. It offered us quietness after returning from busy towns like Banff. Host provided many pans and pots for us to prepare breakfast and dinner to relax and refresh ourselves. Plenty supply of plates, cups, bowls, towels and toilet paper for 6 people. Washer and dryer on 2nd floor are handy. It took a little extra time to go to the popular attractions as the townhome is outside the National Park. Yet, driving with good scenery worths it.
