Perfect Banff Stay!

This property was absolutely perfect in every way for our family and for an amazing vacation! It was gorgeous, impeccably clean, outfitted with everything we could possibly need and in the perfect location. It was larger than we expected from the pictures. There were some comments from previous stays about the surrounding area but that was not an issue at all. The other properties aren’t renovated as perfectly as this one but we had no issues and enjoyed being steps away from an awesome downtown and multiple walks and hikes we could do from the property as well as quick access to the bus stop and grocery store. The views from the deck are amazing and the host was super helpful and accommodating.
