Great trip to Banff National Park

The location is perfect, just outside of the Banff National Park entrance, 15-minute drive to the busy Banff town. In addition to all activities in Banff National Park, we also enjoyed the Grassi Lakes Trail in Canmore town nearby. Grace H. was a great host. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen cookware, cutlery, utensil, gadgets, drinkware, etc.. were all supplied for making family meals.
