Great for our group, in Banff for a wedding. Late check in time at 5 pm. Some inconveniences…dishwasher not working/installed properly, no electric in some bathrooms, no closets in lower level. Lights not all working. Great location though

Great location!
This B & B is located just a couple blocks away from downtown Banff. There are basement bedrooms and three other stories with plenty of room for our extended family of 17. The weather was hot during our stay and the window air conditioners throughout the house were not adequate to keep us comfortable. The house itself is rather old, but sufficiently remodeled to satisfy our needs. We made it work but prefer more modern accommodations. There were enough plates, bowls and silverware but not enough good frying pans and cooking pans for our group. Overall, a great location for seeing Banff and the surrounding area. We would recommend but it's important to know the age of the house and its limitations.

Truly Breath taking!
The place is gorgeous! It was spotless and the ambience is so peaceful and relaxing. The house is so big and ideal for family reunions. I love how it was intricately designed with skis and snow shoes, so cool! I would not just give this 5 stars If I could. I highly recommend this place!

Great House for Large Family!
We had four generations of family and a few friends stay here for three nights and it turned out great. The kitchen was well appointed, the house, although not new and remodeled, was very clean, and there were enough rooms that people could spread out in - the young people playing games loudly in one room didn't bother the older generations in another. The only issue we had was that the basement rooms were very hot. One room in particular was too warm to sleep in. But overall everyone was more than happy with the house. It is within easy walking distance to town, the parking was easy, and it really was perfect for our needs.

Disappointing
Interaction with the management service was only via email and billing issues took months and repeated long emails to resolve. The house itself was not in good repair and the furniture was worn and not in good repair. The kitchen was just adequate with important cooking items missing and had a small rodent problem. Two of the bathrooms on the 2nd floor were hazardous and need handrails and step-ups due to floor level changes. Lights in bedrooms were lacking. The heat was on even though temps were in the 80's and couldn’t be adjusted by the guests. High price charged was only possible due to its great location and lack of competition for similarly sized houses. Would not recommend it particularly at the price we were charged.

Perfect place for team building
This was a great location and provided exactly what we were looking for. Great beds, very clean, lots of bathrooms (less one shower not working) and lots of space. Kitchen was decently stocked (measuring cups and spoons and more serving bowls would be helpful) and the outside deck was nice. There is a train that comes through often enough to wake light sleepers up, but the neighbourhood was quiet otherwise. Comfy couches, great eating and games area and the charm and character is wonderful. No problem recommending this place.
