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.

The Bakers' home is excellent - away from the craziness of Banff Avenue but walking distance to the restaurants and IGA. The home is a real home with all the comforts you would need - house slippers, bear spray, standing fans, kitchen utensils and condiments, etc. Shauna was also kind enough to immediately provide us any missing or things that we ran out of. The water pressure in the shower was great, and the beds were perfect for us.

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!
