The cabin is a nice layout with plenty of space for four people. However the furniture is old and in need of replacing. Several things around our cabin didn't work including the toaster, fireplace, blinds, dresser and the two hottubs at the lodge.

The mattresses were hard and there were no blinds in the bedroom so the sun shone in early each morning and made it hard to sleep past 7. The couches were old and looked dirty.

We were there at a certain time of year where none of the outdoor activities advertised on the site were running.

There were things floating in the pool and hot tub and both weren't the right temperature. The games room is so old and the only two pool cues are bent and unusable.

The location is beautiful and only 10 minutes to Canmore and 30 min to Banff.
It is really inexpensive to be able to cook your own meals and share a cabin with friends or family.

My wife & I have been to this resort for about 3, one week stays and we love it!!!!!! It is a great resort for those who want to get away from the concrete junlges and crowds of nearby Canmore and Banff. When staying at this place, you really feel like your right in the mountains. The Chalets, although not necesarily the most modernly decorated, are great. Lots of room... comfy, cousy and a fully stocked kitchen with a large deck and BBQ. The pool is nice and the indoor/outdoor hottubs are great. The lodge has lots of nice places to relax as well as a large pool/acarade area, all for free. Free use of internet in the lodge and wireless available in chalets. Of our 3 stays there, we have had no issues. The units have been clean and the staff have been very friendly and helpful. This place is our favorite place to stay in the Canaidan Rockies and we will definately be back... hopefully lots more! All the people we have sent there have also given it high ratings.

Banff Gate is rustic and has wonderful chalets to rent. The rooms were clean the
dishes, fridge, stove & cupboards as well were clean. Furniture very run down
so an upgrade would be great. Fireplace brings wonderful ambiance and the view
of the forest in front of us was very peaceful. If however you are put in one of the
chalets in the center of the chalet grouping, your view is limited to the cabins lined in front of you and the cabins in back. Zilch privacy or ambiance of sitting out on a deck in
the evening or early morning for you. I wouldn't go if we couldn't get a chalet at
the front, back or sides(these border the forest) of the grouping. Not everyone cares about this, yet for my family the views of nature is what brings us here.
Also we like to read in the late evening so better lighting would be great!!!

We spend upwards of 75 to 100 nights a year in hotels all over the world, and I have never stayed in something that is so dirty. I found a sock beside the fireplace, coffee grounds under the sink, food in the oven, baby bottle under the bed, dishes and pots that are dirty and a stove and kitchen wall so dirty that there is an oily flim on it. I could go on and on. The resort is old but has fantastic views.
Staff at the font desk were fantastic when they could be found. More thatn once we waited 40 mins and no show.
Would we stay here again - no.
