What a great place to stay in Banff! Short walk to downtown and the Bow River. The communication with the host was great, always responded quickly. The space was clean and perfect for two couples. There were also nice little extras, snacks and bear spray! Would highly recommend staying here.

Great Place and Great Location!

We had a wonderful stay. The location is wonderful and only a couple blocks from town. The WiFi was really great and we were able to continue working when needed. The place was super clean and we loved having the small kitchen area to prepare meals--there was even a hot plate to use for cooking. Shauna/Brian provided recommendations for restaurants which were super helpful and we would absolutely return to visit this property. Great owners and great property!

Beautiful, convenient location!

Our stay at this location was a breeze from the start. We communicated with the property owner/manager and was able to gain early entry to accommodate my son's afternoon nap. The location is perfect, very close to downtown Banff, with beautiful views of the mountains. Would definitely choose to return to this location!

Wow, amazing property!!

The host was the best I've ever had the pleasure to stay with. There was so much care and effort put into our visit. Location was so close to downtown we could walk to everything. Anyone staying at this property will be very pleased. Very comfortable furniture, great parking just a few feet from the entrance. If you go to Banff, this is the place you need to stay!

Great getaway in Banff

This was a wonderful apartment in an amazing location. A short walk to the downtown. Everything was nice and clean and the owners had thought of all the little things that we might need, including dropping off umbrellas the day it rained. We would definitely come back.

Great location in Banff!

This home was clean and spacious. Better than that though was the location within walking distance town and easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. We had an RV with us and had plenty of room to park it (we got prior permission from the host.). Shauna was quick to respond to us even when we texted her late at night. Highly recommend this place.

Great Location

A little expensive but much better value than staying in a hotel. Comfy beds, warm and clean. Great location just out of town and quite so no problem with hoards on the main strip. Only thing it’s missing is a cooker but apparently not able to provide due to local rules. Microwave and coffee making facilities available.

Clean, cozy and convenient to all Banff has to offer. Restaurants, visitor center, walking and hiking trails, groceries are all within walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. Our host was very accomodating and had everything we needed including off street parking. The house was very clean and uncluttered. We loved our stay in Banff.

A lovely apartment in an ideal position for exploring Banff. Our check in was easy, and our hosts were very friendly. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and suited two couples very well. We parked our car and enjoyed strolling to the shops, restaurants, museums and beautiful riverside. For longer trips, it was easy to drive from the apartment out of town. We would recommend highly and would love to return.

Great Stay - just as advertised

Clean, comfortable, and convenient location. Perfect tof two, two couples, or similar. The Cedars is just as advertised. As others have mentioned, this is a shared house and you may hear feet upstairs, or noise at times, but never too early, or too late. I would definitely return.
