Loved the character of the place: a throwback to the 1930s with cabins, vintage cars and memorabilia, but with modern amenities. Fhsh & chips at the Blackswift Bistro was the best I've ever had.

We liked our historic cabin. It was clean and comfortable and the restaurant on site and coffee counter were great as this is in a relatively remote location. Great access to Johnson Canyon hike!

So Peaceful
Loved how secluded this place was and the proximity to Johnston Canyon. Our bungalow was very comfortable. We wished we could have had a microwave in our room, but, not complaining about that!!

Great food in the restaurant in spite of the distance from the city.
Well preserve facility and friendly staff.
We enjoyed our stay in the rustic cabin.
Highly commendable to friends who plan to go and experience the rocky mountain of Canada.

Excellent cabins. Needs more kindling for fireplace as wood was hard to burn to create heat for the cabin

The bungalow is very small and not much room for luggage. The restaurant is nice but the hike into the canyon in mid September was way too crowded

We were greatly pleased by the property. From the check in (Julia) to the dining, and the great room next to the canyon trail were all exceptional.
