It was a great location. Just minutes from Canmore and up the side of a small hill. It is more of a remote location which I enjoyed as there was barely any traffic, could rarely hear the highway and you are able to sit on your deck with a cup of coffee and be surrounded by the mountains and the...

It's was an unexpected surprise. I had looked at the place on the Internet and it was a roof over our heads but once at the location the view is stunning . The chalets are the old v shape but roomy. The one we were in had alarmed picture windows and it was breath taking to see those mountains. We... More

The location is great. The furnishings and appliances were dated but normally this would have been okay if they were clean. The stovetop and oven has tinfoil to catch spills but had obviously been there a long time. We were able to clean the stovetop some which shows that housekeeping hadn't even tried. When we opened the hide-a-bed there lots... More

My husband and I just spent 5 days in cabin 2! Reading the reviews before I was not sure what to expect when we arrived. The cabins for us were perfect; sure the carpets are older and the floors creak in spots to us that didn't matter. The master bedroom was very spacious and a good sized master bath. The... More

The setting is fantastic and our first impression was that we would enjoy future visits in one of these 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet units which are a quick drive from the highway going into Canmore, and the location is "pristine". On a positive note, the carpet was new, the beds were comfortable. However the unit still needed a lot... More

My large family stayed at the Banff gate mountain resort over our November break. The location is EXCELLENT. just 12 ish minutes outside Canmore, about 20-22 minutes outside of Banff. I was pleasently surprised by the cottages, Every group has their own little cabin style cottage with a gas fireplace. When we entered we were happy to see a murphy... More

If location is everything this resort is ideal. Waking to that mountain vista every morning is pure joy. Its close to Banff and Canmore can supply all your grocery needs and plenty of eating places. The gravel road in to the resort is a bit rough, but if you drive slowly you may see some wildlife on the way. Deer... More

... it could be a lot better with some improvements. The units need some upgrading: appliances are old - our refrigerator had cracked plastic molding, which meant a missing door shelf, and the bottom rack in the dishwasher was missing a wheel so the basket had a hard time sliding in an out. The screens were worn/ripped in some of... More

To call this place a "resort" is really a stretch of the imagination. The place wasn't bad and did have some positive features but it really needs a complete overhaul of appliances, carpet and lighting to get beyond a 2.5 to 3 rating. On the positive side (with disclaimers) - nice indoor pool with an indoor and outdoor hot tub.... More
