Quant little cabin. Warm and toasty for our wet days on the trails. Very comfy beds clean. Refrigerator was in the room and we had a microwave brought in front m housekeeping. We ate our food that we brought because there was only one restaurant at the facility and it was very expensive. Would recommend.

Cobwebs hanging from ceiling. 10 spiders had to be eliminated. Front porch not swept. Had to request all cleaning and towel services. Service every other day expected but not done. Sheet on mattress not fitting properly. Mattress overhangs base quite a bit. Staff was friendly. Good location. Food okay to good. Coffee terrible. Bison burger excellent.

I liked the cute unique cozy cabins, convience of being centrally located, and how the tour buses were about to pick us up directly and bring us to Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. I wish they had microwaves, and also the BBQ area was lighted for being there in dark. And the grills could use a good cleaning daily.
