The cabin was very comfortable. Kitchen has dish ware and basic cookware. We enjoyed the fireplace and electric heater. The cabin area was very quiet even with all the tourists on the trail. We really enjoyed our stay.

Johnston canyon is a busy tourist spot. Waking up early so you can be there early bird and enjoy this beauty in peace is a luxury that this place can provide.
Chiradip, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly and efficient staff. Proximity (100 m) from our cabin to awesome Johnston Canyon Hike. Cabin is well maintained - everything worked. Centrally located between Banff and Lake Louise/Moraine.
Gordon, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a very old rustic property. They do try to make it clean and comfortable. There is not much of a TV signal so they offer free DVD movies in the lobby. The small bottle of wine in the room was a nice touch.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was the perfect place to stay. Central to everthing, 15 min drive to Banff, clean and away from the crowds. Would definitely stay again.

Amandeep, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We LOVED our stay! The area was beautiful, with hikes within walking distance. The cabin we had was updated, clean, and still cozy, with everything you needed for your stay right there, even including wood for a fire! We would absolutely love to stay here again when we return to Banff.
Alexandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The cabins were very small but cute. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. The restaurant was good. The trail to the falls was easy to hike

Melissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is an great area to stay nearby Banff (30 mins away), and still have some space to yourself. Staff is awesome and kind. It’s clean, cozy, and has beautiful views all around. Enjoy the Johnston Canyon Trail (do it in the evening, it’s less crowded!).
Claudia, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

We stayed in a cabin for 3 nights. Requested cleaning after 2 nights and this was not done despite making 2 requests. A mouse was seen in our cabin on the 3rd night. This place advertises tennis courts but they are not useable. Dining on site was great and servers there were very good.
Vincent, 3-night trip
