Loved the peaceful atmosphere of the cabin. We were upgraded to a working fireplace which was fun and welcomed with a small bottle of wine. Loved having two adirondack chairs out front to soak up all the beauty. Hotel has nice shop, coffee shop and decent restaurant. Loved being able to hike to the falls that everyone else was bussing to.

Location was excellent and they upgraded us to a slightly bigger cabin which was lovely. I would suggest though that a few essential items be added to the room, such as, a kettle, glass drinking vessels, bottle opener and maybe mugs. Other than that absolutely fantastic.

Loved the hike trail right outside my door. Dining and cafe/market closes at 8 pm so make sure you eat up and dont get hungry late at night, nothing else around. Go for the hike morning or evening to avoid the crowds.

We loved staying at Johnston Canyon, easiest access possible to the most popular hikes and viewpoints in Banff NP. 20 min to both Lake Louise and Banff. The cabin was great, the beds were comfortable and it stayed plenty warm at night. If you stay here and plan on cooking, bring oil, butter, or something non-stick. None is provided.

This is an great area to stay nearby Banff (30 mins away), and still have some space to yourself. Staff is awesome and kind. It’s clean, cozy, and has beautiful views all around. Enjoy the Johnston Canyon Trail (do it in the evening, it’s less crowded!).

Property was good so was the room with well equipped Kitchen. Connectivity with the Canyon was the highlight. The restaurant could have been better considering the remoteness of the property. The wifi was very weak and there were frequent disconnections.

Cute LITTLE cabin. 2 adults and a large dog shared a standard queen cabin. We asked for, and housekeeping happily sent over a microwave oven, 2 plates and some utensils so we could cook our own dinner. A very safe and well maintained trail to the upper falls was well worth the walk. The falls were spectacular.

Disappointing Second Stay

Disappointing second stay at Johnston Canyon. Stayed here in September, and loved everything about the place. This time I booked a smaller cabin, and although it was cute, there were a few annoying things. After check in, I tried to make coffee but the lid on the coffee pot was broken, and fell off, and the coffee went everywhere. The girl from housekeeping turned up quickly (thankfully) with another coffee pot and helped me clear up. The next issue was have to listen to builders working on neighbouring cabins. This went on all through Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. I would have loved to sit outside on the deck to relax but this wasn’t possible due to the workmen. It’s not at all relaxing listening to drills going! Next issue, there is no heating in the bathroom, and as the temperature was below freezing at night and early morning, using the bathroom and shower was not a pleasant experience! And lastly, the food in the shop cooler wasn’t as nice this time. In September they sold lovely yogurt parfaits and freshly made sandwiches. This time there was only curled up old sandwiches and pots of fruit that was past its best.

It was nice to have a great hiking spot so close to our cabin. We rented e-bikes from them that went really smooth. Quiet, safe feeling property. A bit far between towns. But there’s a small gas station close by. Cabin was cute and a great size for a couple.
