Wonderful spot to stay in Banff
Three elements made this a great place for our five night stay. The location made for an easy walk to either downtown, Bow River walking trail and the Banff Springs Hotel, while being away from the crowds that fill up the town. The room itself was very nice and furnished with everything we needed; the deck was perfect for a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. Finally, the host was very responsive and accommodating to make sure we had everything we needed. We were very happy with our stay and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very Comfortable and Pleasant Stay in Banff!
We were super happy with this VRBO. The place was well stocked with coffee, tea, toiletries, etc. and we found the bed to be very comfortable. There is a big armoire for convenient clothing storage and the place was very clean. It was an easy walk to town (~15-20 minutes depending on where you’re headed) and we were able to walk to the Fairmount easily for a friend’s wedding celebrations. Communication with Lisa was also seamless. We found it to be plenty of space for our needs and were fine without having a full kitchen. Would definitely recommend!

Best Stay in Banff!
The guest studio was in an excellent location in quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to everything you want to see in Banff town. The studio was clean, comfortable and filled with everything we needed. Lisa has paid attention to detail with nice touches to the amenities provided including a cozy sitting area, comfy bed, nice linens and some surprise extras. Simply the best stay in Banff!

It was a great place from the moment we arrived to the time we left. We couldn’t have asked for a better host, very easy to talk to and helped us with any questions we had. The place itself was so cozy and close to everything, we walked to dinner every night! Look forward to staying here again when we come back!

Banff Vacation
We had the best time at Lisa’s studio. Check in was a breeze, communication was great, and the studio was immaculate when we arrived. We were super thankful to be able to add on a late check out since our flight got delayed. We were able to walk to town for everything we needed and it took about 10-15 minutes to walk there. Pictures do not do the studio justice, it was even better than we expected. We will definitely stay at Lisa’s again when we take our next vacation to Banff.

The Studio was very clean, with lots of coffee pods, maps, and guides. Lisa’s communication was great with good tips on food and very helpful with other things…like bear spray! We walked into town several times and to the Fairmont a couple of times too! Fantastic location and very comfortable!

Wonderful Stay
Great location for all of our Banff adventures. Lisa gave us all the information we needed plus great food recommendations, but allowed us plenty of space and privacy during our stay. We loved starting our days early for hikes and then coming back, cleaning up and taking a short walk into town for great meals/drinks.
