The place was clean and we were given a spot to park right outside the room so there was never a worry about parking. Jolene was communicative throughout the whole process.

Very nice property away from busy downtown but still easily accessible to most everything. Host Jolene was easy to communicate with. Great parking and clean apartment. Only issue was controlling the a/c to keep the room cool. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Banff!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jolene’s. It was lovely to be a little outside of crazy busy Banff, in a quiet and pretty neighbourhood, yet close enough to leave the car at the house and easily walk (or bus) into town. The room was comfortable and Jolene was a great hostess and terrific communicator. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great communication, and the place was as pictured. Walking distance to downtown Banff and other attractions. I love some of the extra-thoughtful touches, like the chocolate and bear spray to borrow.

A lovely room close to the Banff Springs Hotel. The room was nice and cosy, and set in a beautiful location. A short walk into town, or to Bow Falls (a must see).

Just as described!

The neighborhood was beautiful and an easy walk to town. The host left snacks and their directions for locks and internet were great. Would highly recommend to those wanting a private and quiet stay but close to town.

Ideal for enjoying Banff

As our stay progressed, we were reminded many times of the importance of location to enjoying our vacation. (Everything we did was a relatively short walk to a bus stop or a short drive away). Jolene was very helpful and responsive, we appreciated this nice place!

My biggest issue with the stay was that the place did not have air conditioning. There was no mode of ventilation and the only option was to have windows open but that means bugs coming in the room. For the kind of money charged, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

A quiet place close to everything in Banff town

Jolene made extra efforts to be sure we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Easy walk to town for many excellent restaurant choices. We walked the Bow River trail to the waterfall and did day trips for hikes at Lake Louise and Castle Mountain. We also enjoyed the generous selection of delicious tea provided in the suite. All made in Banff at Jolene’s Tea shop!

Jolene and Mike’s home was perfect for our trip to Banff. The home is set in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. We walked easily into town and to trails along the river. Our hosts also had great recommendations for food and drink and other area hikes. The bed is very comfortable after a long day of hiking and site seeing. We enjoyed samples of delicious tea from Jolene’s Tea House (also highly recommend). We found the home just as described in the listing and the hosts very accommodating and friendly. We look forward to our next stay.

Lovely, clean getaway

We were visiting Banff for the Melissa's Road Race, this accommodation was an easy walk to the start line and also into town. It is attached to a beautiful home and it very private as the garage is between the suite and the main house. Everything was really clean and lovely and included everything we needed as a home base for exploring the mountains. We will be back!

Perfect Getaway Spot

We consider ourselves lucky to have found and stayed at Jolene’s. The place was gorgeous and immaculate. The most comfortable bed and sheets we’ve ever had at a vacation rental. We walked to town often, which allowed us to see the beautiful Bow River and saved us some money having to pay for parking in downtown Banff. It was peaceful, quiet, and felt very private. Jolene’s place is a true gem and she was such a fantastic host. If we visit Banff again, we will be sure to try and stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway Guest House for Two!

My sixteen year old daughter and I were on an adventure in Banff and this place was perfect for our trip. It was centrally located, close (walking distance) to the downtown area, trails - and all the beautiful sights and sounds of the town of Banff. When we hit our next spot on our trip we were wishing we could have moved Jolene's guest house with us. Incredible tea selection and fresh fruit were a big bonus tool So grateful. :)
