nestled in the heart of the Rockies, amidst pine trees and squirrels, we dwelled into a fireplace cottage for 3 nights. How brilliant! surrounded by nature, very peaceful, albeit the cracking of the wood in the hearth, we enjoyed having drinks on the terrace. It's Brokeback Mountain! same scenery! same decoration in the house...as if time had stopped for a while. very clean as well, our stay was great. the staff is efficient too. a very handy location, at the foot of the Johnston Canyon, where many trails start from. a restaurant, a fast food and a souvenir shop available 7/7. We even saw elks, does and one BEAR !!! grazing along the road....well...ideal place for an ideal stay

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of August 2007. We hired a small cabin - number 34- which is along the back row of cabins - furthest from the car park and in a quiet location. The cabin was quite basic - a double bed, small table with two chairs, TV, fridge, tea/coffee maker, log burner and a bathroom. Although quite small, it was adequate for two people and was very clean.
We had breakfast both days in the resort restaurant and found it to be good value and nice food.
The resort is in an ideal location. If you don't want the crowds etc of Banff, then it's ideal. It's also ideal if you want to visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
We walked up the Canyon to the Upper Falls. It's about a 3 mile round trip and well worth it. As stated by other reviewers, I would recommend going early as it does get busy late in the morning.
If you are looking for luxury, then it's not the place for you, but if you want somewhere in the heart of the Rockies, that's quiet and rustic, then this is the place.
Overall, I would gladly return to this resort.

Stayed here for two nights in June. Room was comfy, homely, clean and spacious. Location was great, staff very helpful. Cafe next to shop was cheap and very cheerful. Restaurant was also very good. Walked to upper and lower waterfalls - Highly recommended but go early in the morning to beat the crowds. We went at 7am and had the place to ourselves for most of the walk.

We had a wonderful stay at Johnston Canyon Resort! Nice spot. Great setting. The hike to the lower falls, upper falls and the ink pots was fantastic. Great trail!! The weather was fine too. We were in 7 and 7a. We really
liked both and probably enjoyed 7a even more. We will recommend Johnston Canyon to our friends and hope to return.
