Johnston Canyon Resort is located just up the Trans-Canada Highway from Banff and only about 15 minutes from Lake Louise...so great location. We thought going to this part of the Rockies we would be in a secluded location, but it's not really. The trail head up to Johnston Canyon is here at this location as well, and it is a... more

I had been looking for a place to take my Dog for his 7th Birthday. It is hard to find Pet Friendly places. For 15.00 extra a night they welcome all dogs. This was one of the best things about this place. All dogs are welcome. Not just the “tiny” ones that most places will only allow. We saw many... more

We saw some elk grazing along the side of the road as we entered the Bow Valley Parkway heading to Johnston Canyon Resort. It appears to be a popular spot with the local Albertans. Our cabin was one of the larger ones with 2 bedrooms. It had 2 fireplaces one wood and one gas that was a nice touch. It... more

It was long drive when we happened to notice they had a vacancy here. Stopped in and found the front desk person most helpful. We think she was australian. A long way to come to work. She offered some excellent suggestions which we did. The Banff Gondola provided a terrific view of the mountain ranges surrounding Banff and the Columbia... more

We spent one night in a small cabin. It was clean, but not as perfect as our next accomodations. We were travelling around Alberta & BC for three weeks and this room was one of the worst and almost the most expensive one (without breakfast...). The Johnston canyon itself is beautiful but I wouldn't stay here next time. more

The staff were friendly but, overall, the price was too much. The accomodation is very basic which is partly a positive in that there is no TV or radio reception, although a small TV was available with a VHS player. The 'cabin' (I prefer the word 'shed') was small and very insecure. No wardrobe or anything halfway decent to hang... more

We loved the Johnston Canyon Lodge. We had a small cabin that was a welcom respite after a few days of backpacking in the rain. Our cabin featured some great decor, a fireplace and a clawfoot tub. Loved it. more

We were planning our itinerary to stay in Banff National Park. The choices were a bit challenging as we did not know the area well. We saw some good reviews about Johnston Canyon and decided to book it for June. We found the location excellent. The weather was rather pleasant. The service was great and the staff were very helpful.... more

Our cabin was clean and well laid out and the location was great. The October colours were amazing. The front desk people said it was a warmer than ususal fall which they believe gave a richer color than normal for that time of the year. The Dinner in Bridges restaurant was excellent. We had the sizzling trout on the platter.... more
