The cabins are so cute, they were lovely to stay in and the beds were very comfortable. One of the lamps had no bulb in. The TV had to be unplugged to turn it off because the Toshiba remote did not work with the TV of another make. So we were not able to adjust the volume either on the BluRay disc we watched. Do eat in the restaurant! Dinner and breakfast were both superb with very friendly staff. Loved the vintage cars around the place.

Great location, right at the Johnston Canyon hike trailhead. Staff very friendly, cabins clean. A small bottle of wine was ready for us on arrival. No TV rd option but they had dvd movies to borrow. Internet very slow. Just a heads up…if you want to rent bear spray there it is $10/day but they keep your drivers license! You can buy also for $75!!!! We chose neither. I would stay there again. Great place if you are heading up to Lake Louise/Moraine.

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.

Our Cabin #22 was very nice except it was not what I expected. I didn’t expect it to be one bedroom and a small bathroom as in a hotel with a desk and table. It worked out fine but I would definitely research the options next time. And for the nightly cost, anyone would expect better quality toilet paper then the rough, thin stuff provided. We loved the property and it being totally dog friendly was such a great surprise. I would recommend these cabins highly.

While our studio cabin was small, there was no where to put our duffel bags and other belongings, except on the floor. We suggest two folding suicase stands, a hook on the back of the bathroom door, and a shelf in the bathroom bigger than an 8" square in the corner that must be cleared off to plug in anything. We loved the gorgeous grounds, the glorious hike to the waterfalls, and the bistro.

Secluded in a maze of what appears to be old but updated clean cabins. Quite small but quaint. A nice front porch with two Adirondack chairs to enjoy your evening or morning coffee. Bathroom was teeny and sink had no where to keep my items for getting ready “like face wash, makeup, hair styling tools. No bedside table for c-pop and water I like handy during the night. I used a suitcase to hold those items. There was a little room fridge. Tv but couldn’t get it to work. I paid more to stay here than any other place my whole trip and expected a bit more. BUT, if you are longing to stay in a cabin in the woods by Johnston Canyon it would be perfect! I especially liked that we were at Johnston Canyon so parking wasn’t an issue.
