Stayed here with wife and young baby, stayed at one of the cabins - very rustic - nice fireplace, good bathroom, and comfy bed. The restaurant site was fairly expensive - but nice food. Pitty there wasn't a shop selling supplies, we were looking for milk for my son, and had to but some from the cafe which cost me... More

We stayed at johnston canyon and found the setting very colourful. The rooms were clean and tidy. The front desk offered some excellent ideas for sight seeing. They even let us know about another water fall nearby called silverton falls which was most interesting. The value was good and food was wonderful. We had the trout and salmon in the... More

The size of our (smallest?) bungalow was not what we hoped for during a rainy afternoon and day. We expected a lot of this stay, but unfortunately... The people in the office were not friendly and the cabin was not just oldfashioned, but just old and shabby, it smelled of wet dogs. We 'did' the Canyon and Inkpots that morning... More

These are lovely authentic wooden bungelows set in a leafy location. Our cabin around the perimeter was quite secluded and idealistic. We loved the tranquil atmosphere and apart from been eaten by a few mosquitoes very nice to sit out on the terasse in the evening. Cabin was clean and well furnished. No TV available which in its own way... More

After visiting the Lower Falls in 2008 we decided to stay at the resort so we could spend the whole day at this beautiful site and visit the falls early before the high number of tourists arrive. We booked and paid in full for the Classic Pilot Bungalow 11 months prior to our arrival in August 2011. However, when we... More

We booked a roomy two-bedroom cabin with two of our friends for a mountain-getaway September long weekend. The wood burning fireplace was put to use as soon as we arrived - mostly for the aroma and cracking - and the gas fireplace served as a reliable back-up. The arts and crafts style throughout the cabin contributed greatly to the ambiance.... More

After a 4.5-hour flight and 2-hour drive, my wife and I just wanted to relax. I had done my research on Banff accommodations, and Johnston Canyon appeared to be best for what we wanted - close to Banff town and Lake Louise, without the bustle of the tourist-central, and something relaxed and "woodsy", close but not too close to the...

We visited this resort in August 2010 and stayed in a 4 person cottage (#20). The cottage had a double bed and two twin beds. We chose this resort for it's location next to Johnston Canyon as well as its central location between Banff and Lake Louise. On arrival we were quickly checked in and headed for our cottage. We...

We stayed here last weekend for one night with our two children and I fell totally in love with this location and our accomodations. We were booked into cabin number 8 - a four person bungalow which overlooked the creek. This place may not be everyone's cup of tea as it is delightfully rustic (no tv, no phone, no internet,...

we stopped here for a hike and saw that they had cabins available for rent. The nice young woman at the office upgraded us to a queen bed room with a fireplace for the price of the most basic room. The bathroom was nice and clean, the room was really cute and good size but the mattress was not comfortable.... More
