Great cabin. We stayed for 3 nights to tour around Banff NP and everything was perfect and the view from our cabin was spectacular! Highly recommend, it’s just a short drive from the town of Banff and it’s a beautiful ride to and from.

We were there for my son’s wedding. Loved the cabin. It had really nice up to -date furniture and comfy beds. The cabins are very quiet. Lots of foot traffic for the falls…and we found service at the restaurant slow but the staff super friendly.

Perfect location between Banff and Lake Louise. Close to wildlife along 1A. Lauren, Charlie and Karolina were so pleasant and fun. They were definitely a highlight of our stay making sure our room was perfect, we had bear spray and bug spray, and giving us inside tips about the park. We will be coming back!!

We loved our stay at Johnston Canyon! You cannot beat the location. It was so nice being right at the trailhead, and not having to worry about parking. It was nice having the restaurant and gift shop right there. We didn't utilize the DVD's or board games, but it was nice to know it was an option.

LOVED our stay at Johnston Canyon Lodge. Check in was easy and loved the reception. Our cabin was quaint, rustic and clean as expected. The location is of course the star of the show with easy access to the Johnston Canyon hike and, assuming one starts early, a head start on the throngs of other visitors arriving later in the morning. Really special to have uncrowded time in the canyon in the morning and evenings. The on site restaurant... food is merely OK - but the staff was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend Johnston Canyon Lodge as a rustic alternative to very crowded Banff town.

Our cabin was spacious but the bathroom layout was odd - long and narrow. Probably a conversion of an old cabin. The restaurant was dated, but good food and delightful staff. Too bad cabins are so expensive!

Our Johnston Canyon bungalow exceeded every expectation! Triple filtered water to drink, well-appointed room, on site gourmet restaurant and general store with the best-tasting soft serve ice cream, located ON Johnston Canyon. We could’ve spent the entire week in that one locale, but we also took the Hop On Hop Off tour and other day trips, with Johnston Canyon being a perfect central location to return to each evening. The staff were super friendly and the bed was big and comfy! There was even a clawfoot tub, toiletries, and a blow dryer. It was a perfect place to enjoy the magnificent Banff National Park.

Cabin was well appointed. Shower was slippery and they had no bath mats available. Cafe was out of ice which was the only place to obtain it. Staff was very friendly. Prompt response when we made a request. Mosquitos everywhere - but that can't be helped. The location was perfect. Could beat the crowds on the popular trails.
