Jane was a wonderful host with a great place. We really appreciated how quickly we received responses as well as the very clear directions on how to enter the residence. The double patio was a great feature although we were a little disappointed when we discovered the door to the bedroom patio would not open for us. Other than that small thing, this place was an amazing stay and we would definitely recommend staying here.
P.S. The shower was PHENOMENAL! Best feature of the place by far, it was so relaxing to have at the end of the day.
Thank you for your lovely review and we will be sure to take a look at the patio door and get it fixed. Hope to see you again soon!

Stayed for two nights with my elderly parents in this wonderful apartment. After staying in hotels for the first part of our trip, the apartment was a very welcome respite as well as the beautiful vistas in Canmore. The apartment was very clean, well-appointed, and looked exactly like in the photos. Parking in the underground garage was easy. We also enjoyed the cafe, Take a Hike (great pancakes!), in the resort. Jane was very responsive, and the welcome folder was informative with good local recommendations.
Thank you for your lovely review and we hope to see you again soon!

by Cory Urbats
This was a great place to stay for a vacation to Banff! Very clean, comfortable and it had a well stocked kitchen with essentials such as coffee, olive oil and salt/pepper. Not to mention, this was the best shower I’ve ever experienced - very spa like!
Thank you so much for your review Cory. We hope to see you again soon!
by Wenhua Wang
We had our wonderful trip in Canmore at Jane's place. The underground garage is a little bit confusing, but Jane's instruction is clear and help us to find the parking lot and place close to elevator.
The room is cozy and clean, with everything we need. The AC works well and make us comfortable in the room.
Thank you so much for your review Wenhua. We hope to see you again soon!

Great place to stay when visiting the Canadian Rockies. Easy walking to restaurants and shopping. Quiet area with nice amenities. Easy drive to Lake Louise and adjacent areas of interest. It was very nice to have garage parking and we loved the hot tub for after our hiking.
Thank you so much for your review Robert. We hope to see you again soon!
by Bree Duros
We very much enjoyed our stay! The location was excellent— with gorgeous mountain views, incredible light at sunrise; a few minutes drive to the picturesque town of Canmore filled with great restaurants / cafes, parks, etc. Just 20 minutes to Banff Town and 45-50 minutes to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The AirBnB itself felt very classy— safe / secure with unground, private parking. The in-unit washer / dryer was a great feature. We felt very welcomed and at home. We would definitely stay again when visiting Banff.
Thank you so much for your review Bree. We hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for your lovely review Lakisha!
by Robert Pon
Overall the condo was nice. We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Canmore. The owner was easy to reach and easy to communicate with. It was spacious, clean and located close to the highway. Nice access to restaurants, shops and outdoor activities The only downside for us was that the resort/complex itself is a bit dated and the pool/hot tub area could really use a facelift.
Thank you for your lovely review Robert!

by Souvik Chatterjee
Jane is an excellent host. his place was right in the center of small Canmore town and Banff is 20 mins drive from there. covered heated garage is definitely a plus in those locations during winter months. his place was cozy, well maintained and had everything I needed. the view from the patio was awesome.
Jane was also very helpful and responsive during my stay there. I'll definitely be back here.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Souvik. We hope to host you again in the future!
by Kayla Grant
Perfect place to stay for anyone looking for an incredible view, but close to many amenities. Great restaurants, hiking trails, nature walks, all within walking distance. Place was clean and host was very responsive and helpful. Would def stay again if in the area!
Thank you for your wonderful review Kayla. I'm so glad you had a lovely time in our unit and we hope to see you again soon!
by Bryan Leverick
We enjoyed our time in Canmore and the place was quiet and very comfortable. Great bed and we had a great sleep. Looking forward to our return visit.
Thank you for your wonderful review Bryan. I'm so glad you had a lovely time in our unit and we hope to see you again soon!
by Christine Hamm
There's a reason why Jane is a superhost; she's fantastic
I started out at serene spruce but could not sleep well due to road traffic and train noise. I reached out to Jane to discuss options and with hours she had me set up in another property; Utopia.
I can't say enough about this penthouse. It's fabulous! Quiet, peaceful and away from the train tracks. The only thing missing was a keurig machine but the host patiently walked me through how to use the machine on site.
Jane and her team go above and beyond with their customer service and gorgeous properties. Thanks for making this trip so special guys and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Christine! I'm so glad that we were able to find another option for you and get you into the unit promptly. Canmore does have some train noise and while we do our best to mitigate this, we understand that it may be difficult for light sleepers. I hope the trip was restful for you and we hope to see you again soon!
by Dawn Perka
This is a beautiful place and having a morning cup of tea on the balcony looking out at the mountains was perfect. The balcony off the bedroom allowed for fresh mountain air while falling asleep. Loved every minute here and will look to book here again.
Thank you for your wonderful review Dawn. I'm so glad you had a lovely time in our unit and we hope to see you again soon!

This place is amazing. It has exactly what you need and more. Very clean and cozy. The bar style patio was a great idea for the space and we used it a few times for coffee and to enjoy the amazing views. I would recommend this place over and over. We will definitely be booking here again.

Best vacation home I've stayed in. Kitchen had everything we needed to make our own meals. Shower was incredible. Beautiful views. It was actually too warm temperature-wise, but we solved that by opening up the windows. Lots of fresh air. This is a fantastic place to stay in any season!
Thanks so much Isaac, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in this very special condo!

This stay was amazing!!! Our hosts were very tespndeive, welcoming, and helpful. We were hunting the Northern Lights for two nights! Jane &Shain recommended a few places We weren’t able to see the northern lights bright as they usually are bc of the clouds 🙁 nonetheless, the place is better than their pictures wish we stayed longer. The views were amazing. We weren’t able to visit the hot tub and spa but the massage at One Wellness was worth it! Jane & Shaun have a great place definitely recommend visiting.
Thanks so much Joita, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in this very special condo!
