Great location and amazing view. The unit we stayed in had been updated and was very nice. We stayed with another family (8 humans total) so it was a little crowded, but that’s on us. Defiantly recommend.

Rented two units from the owners for three nights in late May. The best thing about this property: location! Just outside the Banff NP entry gate on a service/access road next to the highway. Getting to Banff town and other sites was a breeze. Canmore is a stone's throw away for any grocery needs and a smattering of restaurants. The actual units were prepped and well-stocked, especially with kitchenware and a few pantry items (tea bags, coffee/filters/creamer/sugar, spices). We also used the natural gas grill (one of the two was broken) and the outside picnic tables. We used the hot tub one afternoon and it was nice to have it available. Washer/dryer room was out-of-commission due to a water line issue, I believe. Hopefully that will be resolved and the other grill will be fixed before the busy season hits! Communication with our hosts was easy and thorough. I'd stay here again!

Chris and Tanya are excellent hosts and shared their condo airbnb on 1000 Harvie Heights Raod. The signpost that reads Banff Boundary Lodge is the location and worked out well for family visiting Canada for the first time - fabulous hosts and the accommodation is excellent with double bunk beds in one room and a queen in another room- the bunk is absolutely brilliant and for four of us - one couple and two friends with all amenities was excellent. Park Pass is included but we did not use that. With easy access to Canmore and the view of the Three Sisters Mountain - Hope Peace and Charity to wake up to a godsend and etched forever in our minds!!

On my most recent trip to Banff, my friends and I stayed at the Banff Boundary Lodge and it was so worth it! Only 20 minutes away from downtown banff and 5 minutes from a Park Pass booth, making plans for the national park became so convenient. The views from the rooms themselves are so beautiful, with 360 views of the Rockies. The rooms were so nice, and there was public access to a bbq and hot tub. This lodge genuinely made the trip and I will be staying here again in the future!

What a lovely place to call home for a long weekend! I stayed with 2 young kids and 4 adults and it was perfect for us. The kitchen allowed us to cook at home, the living room provided a great board game space, and having 2 bathrooms was very convenient. Despite having so many people, the condo felt spacious and we never felt cramped or on top of each other. There is ample parking with plug-ins and the mountain views from the hot tub are spectacular. It's a quick drive to both Canmore and Banff. It was the perfect space for a fun-filled family weekend. I'd highly recommend and I can't wait to return!

My second time staying here. You truly can't beat the deals here if you're vacationing in/near Banff. Both townhouses I've stayed in have exceeded expectations. Easy ride to Canmore or Banff, everything feels like it's a stone's throw away. Views from the hot tub are great, not mention you meet people from all over the world when you're in there for a soak. Will return
