Everything was perfect, thank you for the hospitality. I stayed in boswell east cabin with my family and it was well- equipped. Just bring a hair dryer, and you are all set!

This was a really nice and quiet property with great view of the mountains. Kitchen big and well equipped and clean. Staff was friendly and informative. Large living room cozy with a nice library. Only one complaint room was small we were a family of four and booked a room for four and it was very tiny for us. Other than that it was lovely place.

Perfect Weekend Quiet Getaway
We stayed at Boswell Cabin West and had a wonderful time—perfect for a group or family of six. The cabin is peaceful and cozy, with no TV but plenty of board games. We spent most of our time on the patio, just soaking in the stunning mountain views. It’s close to great hiking trails, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome. There’s a short hike or stairs to reach the parking area, but it’s well worth it. We can’t wait to come back and explore the Grotto and Echo Canyon hikes!

There were only two single occupant bathrooms on our whole floor which was a slight inconvenience as people taking showers monopolized these for some time. However, there were more bathrooms a couple floors down and overall our stay was quite comfortable.

Peaceful, Beautiful & Lovely
Our stay at one of the cabins was great! The cabin was perfect for a few days stay. Everything you needed was there. The view from the cabin was directly towards the Three Sisters and it was so peaceful. It was very hot outside so the rooms got very hot, but Shaun (sp?) was our hero and got us fans & it was just what we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cabin with a common area and washroom on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second. The site is a 5-minute drive to Canmore and about 20 minutes to Banff. I was supposed to receive detailed information about check-in 3 days before arriving but I didn't get that email. It made me a bit nervous about checking in, but everything went smoothly.

STAY AWAY… if I could give it 0 stars I would. I booked the room in March and during my stay discovered that the rooms were 50% off. They would not refund me the difference. The kitchen had an ant infestation, the accessibility was terrible with no hand railing, against code. They mixed up food labels, very dangerous for people with allergies. Toilet paper was always in short supply and we had to go ask for more as they did not replenish our supplies. For such an expensive price per night during low season I expected much more.
Paysage autour du logement magnifique et le lieu de séjour agréable. Petit bémol pour four et barbecue qui n'étaient pas nettoyés.
Pas d'eau courante le deuxième jour.
Pour le prix demandé nous aurions aimé une meilleure prestation

If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic place to stay look no further. This place has got to be one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in the Canmore area. If you’re also looking for a place to take a hot shower after a long day of hiking and exploring, then better look somewhere else. Unfortunately there was only hot water that went to the kitchen, not the shower or bathroom area. We went during the heat wave and there wasn’t AC (to be expected, you’re staying in a cabin) but also wasn’t any fans. Sleeping at night was quite challenging with the heat. Overall I think I would come back if they figure out the water situation.

Nice property, great views, good value.
Literally a couple of minutes outside of Canmore and easy to get to, but just far enough away from town to have a beautiful natural view of the mountains, deer coming up to the window, and no train noises at night!
Pros: We liked that the unit had a kitchen, and there were walking paths all around the property.
Cons: The shower was a bit small, and the door to the adjoining unit doesn't do a good job of stopping sound from bleeding over. We could hear our rowdy unit neighbors well into the night the first night.

Neat property but not the best. Nice location tucked up in the mountain.
The listing could be a little more transparent as to how long the walk into the cabin is and where the parking locations are. With children and lots of stuff to bring into the cabin is isn't super convenient. They did send an email after booking explaining the walk and parking situation but I think it should be more transparent in the listing before booking. That being said, the walk is nice and not the end of the world.
Cabins were ok but starting to look a little bit run down in some areas. Again, I think they should be more transparent with the Boswell cabin that there are two sides to it and they connect on the inside as well through a set of double doors. It's nice to know exactly what you're booking without any surprises when you get there. The doors between the cabins are not very sound proof and the neighboring tenants were a bit on the loud side.
The check-in, check-out times seemed to be a bit tight as well. Check-in was 3pm and check-out was 10pm. I could be wrong, but most places we have stayed at have a check-in at 2pm and check-out at 11pm. It's nice to have the extra hour in the morning, especially with children.
Overall the cabin is ok. The view is nice and the location is really neat. A couple inconveniences that aren't the end of the world but would be nice to know about at the time of booking.
