We had a great time at this property. I will give you some info with in this review that can be very informative. Ron was great with communication and answers questions quickly. The house was very clean, spacious and laid out beautifully. We did not use hot tub, but it looked nice. My one and only complaint is the host request for 3 min showers to conserve water. I respect that but it was very hard with long hair and shaving. We loved having a pool table to play after a long day of hiking as we relaxed in the evening. You will see lots of deer which was always nice. If you come in at dusk be sure to hustle the mosquitoes are brutal. We found the best place to eat was Reposados Mexican in Golden. If you are looking to do Lake Louise it’s about a hour drive from the house. The actual town of Banff is aver 2 hours away. Important info for some. We personally find that this side of the mountain gives us much more reach to do some amazing hikes and adventures. It really depends what you are looking for in the vacation if Ron’s place is a good fit. Our family found it amazing. We hiked Thompson Falls right up road (moderately challenging hike) don’t do this one without bear spray. We drove (1 hour) to natural bridge, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls. My Uncle and Son did hiking up some major trails at Yoho while we did those other activities. Overall if you are looking for breathtaking views, great hiking and a wonderful home this is the place to rent.
