Amazing in every aspect of our stay !!

This place is amazing ! My wife and I stayed here for three nights for a wedding and it was absolutely stunning. First let’s start with its curb side beauty and continues inside with its rustic wood appearance. Once you walk inside it continues with more wooded beauty and very well looked after. The rooms are very spacious and super clean and looked after. Then you get to meet the hostesses that do everything you need and look after you like your their own. Annette, Brooke and Landon were absolutely amazing. From great drinks being hand delivered and always a smile on their face to the chef in the kitchen that made food that was so mouthwatering each day we were there. The breakfast was to die for I could eat the eggs Benny all day. Great location quiet area of canmore and easy place to find and park. Thanks for having us and we will be back.
