Amazing place
The house is amazing - a beautiful design with a wonderful living space that looks out at the mountains. House has everything you would want! Great for a group of 8. We enjoyed being together in the evening and then in the day the house is so close to the shuttle stop it made it nice for people to head out at different times. Loved this place!!

A Wonderful Place
This house has every amenity you could want. Beautiful decorating and great views. Be sure to read the description carefully! A part of the house has a separate entrance which cuts down on the cohesiveness of the space. We hardly used it and for the cost it was a waste.

Black Bear Chalet
We have just returned to the UK after a weeks stay in Banff at the Black Bear Chalet. We were a party of 7 and had a fantastic stay at the chalet. Having skied at numerous resorts in Canada and North America over the last 10 years + this was certainly the most modern and well appointed. We had a mix of skiers and non skiers and the location suited all. It’s one block from the centre of town which meant going out for dinner and shopping was easy. Thanks to the hosts Peter and Sonja.

AWESOME trip
Cannot say enough good things about the hosts, the property, and especially the location. The property worked great- we had two sets of in laws (one of whom is less mobile) and two toddlers. Enough space and separation but close enough to all be together. I missed that one bedroom was a separate unit, but it ended up working great for us - an easy walk around the front of the house. Hosts were SO patient with our slightly needy group, always immediately responsive, and SO kind. In short, they were so generous and so hospitable and definitely gave us reason to return. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Pretty sure all of our activities in town were under a mile walk, town was so easy to get around for everyone in our group. Easy drives to major Banff must-sees.

Wonderful!
Wonderful property in every way. Location couldn't be beat (only a block from downtown), extremely clean, well appointed with lot of little touches to make for a very comfortable stay. 6 adults stayed in July 2023, and there was plenty of space to gather, plus good sized rooms and enough bathrooms. We rented the entire property (upstairs and downstairs apartment). Excellent communication/responsiveness from hosts -- and they also provided tons of recommendations. Would highly recommend!

Perfect location, perfect house for stay in Banff
The house is wonderful. It is in the best location -walk to town, walk to hikes, walk to restaurants, coffee etc. Four bedrooms - two of those generous in size and one has its own private entrance and living room. The living area served as a place for everyone to come together after a great day of hiking. The hosts had numerous board games, which became a nightly ritual. Banff is a spectacular, beautiful place to visit. And this house made the week extra special. We would highly highly recommend this house for anyone spending time in Banff.

Holidays in Banff
Cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was here with our family of 5 adults. The house is just as described and pictured (new, clean and well appointed) and we arrived with a warm welcome of the house lights being on(Christmas tree, electric candles, electric fireplace) and prosecco, sparkling juice and a box of chocolates waiting. Communication with the host was always prompt, informative and kind. The location cannot be beat...very short walk to all the action in town. We only drove our car when visiting locations outside of town to ski, skate or hike. We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope to do so in the near future. HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful place, great location.
A block off of downtown Banff, it’s a great location. Off-street parking was very helpful. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating. Comfortable, updated and clean. Space for group to gather. Easily fits 8 adults. With a large group would definitely stay again. The ONLY downside was that noise travels easily between rooms (footsteps, cooking, talking, etc). If everyone in your group goes to bed and gets up at the same time, this won’t be an issue.
