The host was very prompt in communication and went the extra mile to ensure we were informed about our stay. The condo and location were superb. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful, clean property with everything you need for a getaway in the mountains. The lovely Espresso machine is a bonus! We would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay at Grey Owl's nest. The condo was the perfect size for our party of 7 plus a dog, and the views from the balcony were incredible. We would definitely stay here again!
It was the first time we stayed in Canmore. The condo location was very good with easy access to the town centre. It was quiet and relaxed for a nice family weekend, with plenty of room and a well set up kitchen with a fantastic coffee maker!
We had a great time staying in Canmore! Great little town and amazing views from our bedroom window. We were only 25 mins from downtown Banff! Well stocked kitchen supplies and having laundry available was great as well.
Wonderful property w/ great amenities. Owner was on top of things and the unit was clean & well equiped. Great location, we enjoyed our stay 100%. Will be back to enjoy the beauty of Canmore/Banff area.
We loved this unit for our trip. There was plenty of room for 5 and great parking. There were minor hiccups with the property and access to the pool area and elevators can be very hard to get at checkout time. The unit owner was extremely responsive to our questions and great to deal with.
Nest in the Rockies was the perfect base for our trip through Banff National Park. The location allowed us easy access to the park as well as many restaurants and activities. We loved sitting on the balcony each morning and evening to watch the changing light on the Three Sisters.
Robert was an attentive host and we would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!
Perfect for our family - comfy beds, quality appliances, great kitchen. Having two queen beds in the second bedroom was ‘clutch’ (according to the teen kids). Pet friendly was another draw.
Overall great experience. The place was perfect for our group. Very clean, and great amenities. Robert was an excellent host, communicated clearly and in a very timely matter. Would highly recommend.
Excellent property, great location, outstanding hosts
Everything was wonderful and very clean! Kids enjoyed the pool. Would stay again. Owners very responsive to questions as well as helpful! Our daughter is asking to go back!!! Highly recommend!
Beautiful property with all of the amenities you need to be comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. In suite laundry is convenient. I appreciate our pet was welcome. Comfortable beds and pillows. Will definitely return!
