Great place to stay. Super convenient right next to Johnston Canyon . Cabin was very welcoming with gas furnace. Onsite restaurant and bakery was great to have. No tv but they have dvds to watch… had some trouble with the dvd player that would get stuck halfway through the movie, otherwise I highly recommend this place.

Staying at Johnston Canyon Resort helped us avoid the crowds while hiking the Canyon later in the evening after we checked in. The family cabin had 3 beds small table and mini fridge and was a great fit for our family of 4. Mature trees around the cabins kept it cool. We enjoyed the bbq area and pickle ball court. This is a great place to stay to enjoy the outdoors without having to camp!

You obviously pay for the location. The cabin was overpriced for the quality of the room, and was not cleaned properly (stained toilet seat, food remnants on furniture, spider webs on ceiling). Just a note: I am not entirely sure that the sliding windows were lockable, so securing your belongings could be a problem. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and did not use the bistro on site.

This cabin is literally right next to the Johnston Canyon waterfall trails, which is a huge advantage .you can be on the trail in minutes without ever getting back in the car. The cabin itself is warm and cozy with great amenities, and it offers a welcome escape from the busy pace of city life. The BBQ, bike, and pickleball are lovely extras that make it easy to fill an afternoon without going anywhere. It's also a perfect base for breaking up the drive, whether you're heading out to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, or the Icefields for a day trip. We'd happily stay here again.

We accidentally stumbled upon this place. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a beautiful property nestled in the mountain forest beside a creek, right in the heart of Johnston Canyon. The Johnston Canyon Trail starts directly from the property. The cottages were sophisticated and tastefully decorated, with a charming old-school vintage feel.
