“Memorable stay in a beautiful home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

We were one of the first guests to stay in MJ and Dave's second suite which they created this year--it was clear from the rave reviews that it would be a nice stay, but we were nevertheless surprised by how charming and beautiful the house was, how immense and tasteful the basement suite downstairs was (with large movie-style den, beautiful and comfortable bed in bedroom and lovely stone shower) and how lovely MJ and Dave were as hosts. They not only provided a warm welcome, but also, they provided an excellent breakfast (the kind you hope for at B&Bs) and expert advice on hiking trails and where to go in the area (MJ is also a hiking guide).
We'd recommend this B&B to everyone who is heading to Banff. Not only is Canmore cute and worth the short drive out from Banff, but the B&B experience provided by Mountain Lily is tasteful, memorable and uber-cozy. ENJOY!

“The Best of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

I have stayed at B&Bs around the world and the Mountain Lily is easily in my top 10. MJ and Dave are the types of people that make B&B stays worth it -- they are welcoming, interesting, and have a wealth of knowledge of the area between them. We stayed in their basement suite, which included a bedroom, private bathroom, sitting area, a TV/fitness area, and a kitchenette (perfect for making trail lunches). The view was spectacular and breakfast was huge and healthy. Overall, a really lovely weekend. Hope to be back soon!

“More than a home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012

We have recently returned from our second visit to mountain Lily and i can say with all honesty it’s the best B&B I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms are excellent, top quality furniture / fittings, with a view to die for. While in Canmore we got married and MJ and Dave kindly allowed us to use their Garden to have the service, which was stunning and i will always be thankfully for the generosity they showed to us.
MJ and Dave are fantastic hosts, part of the fun of our stay was breakfast, as we had a chance to talk to them both about our plans and they would advise us on where was best to go, as well as providing maps etc. You will need to bring a big appetite to mountain Lily as the breakfast are wonderful, and vast, if you speak to Dave nicely he may even do you some waffles ( which were beyond mere words) In short if you want a spotlessly clean, well appointed, beautifully located accommodation with superior host you will not find better.

“Best place to stay in Canmore/Banff area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

Look no further...Stay Here!
Best bed & breakfast we've ever stayed in(over the past 25yr's we've stayed in many);
Host & Hostess make you feel like you're home,
Large bedrm w/sitting area, large bath w/walk-in shower,
modern & very clean up to date accommodations,
private entry, off street parking, and great views from the room.
Breakfast was out of this world good! Quiet neighborhood, with
walking trails close by. 5 minute drive to town.
Host & Hostess are very knowledgable and can recommend great
places to hike, eat, drive, and sight see.
If we return to this area, we most certainly will stay again.
Give it a try. You will not be disappointed!

“A standout property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

This B & B has luxury fittings and everything you would need and I'm sure if you needed something different Mary Jane and Dave would find it for you.
The setting is wonderful and Canmore is a fantastic place, much better than the crowded and touristy Banff.

We did a 2,500 mile round trip, with Canmore being our first stop, and we had a nostalgic stop in Canmore on our final leg as it was so restful and inspiring. Walk along the river, take a trip into Kanskis country, eat at Rocky Mountain Flatbread, if you've walked off your very good breakfast!

We stayed in two standout properties on our trip and this was one of them
Thanks Amanda and Paul, Beds, England.
