Great Location in Canmore

The location is very convenient to food and ice cream (check out Lovely Ice Cream). The unit was clean and worked great for our family of 8 including 2 children. The owner was very responsive to my questions. The kitchen is very modern and included a nice coffee maker and coffee beans. The beds were comfortable. It is an easy ride to Banff and Lake Louise. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to others.

Cozy stay for our national parks trip

Nest in the Rockies was the perfect base for our trip through Banff National Park. The location allowed us easy access to the park as well as many restaurants and activities. We loved sitting on the balcony each morning and evening to watch the changing light on the Three Sisters. Robert was an attentive host and we would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!

Well maintained place with great location

The condo worked out great for our family vacation as we spent our days hiking and exploring the nearby national parks and the Kananaskis area. The condo was clean, well maintained, and the beds were comfortable. The convenience of having a park pass, the garage parking, and only being a short walk to the town center was great. The coffee lovers in the group also enjoyed the fancy coffee maker and coffee. We would stay here again! One thought for improvement would be to have a second luggage rack in the bedroom with the king size bed.

Canmore Stay

This property was in a great location. The apartment was as described online with all amenities available for use. With just a short drive you're in Banff exploring all the amazing attractions. A little more emphasis can be placed on sanitizing the floors but other than that we had a great stay! The host also responded in a timely manner to answer any questions. All in all the unit was comfortable, quiet, well equipped and serviced our family's needs quite well. These hosts know how to treat their guests well! I highly recommend Grey Owls Nest!

Absolutely perfect

With our older kids we were looking for something that had beds for each of them and some space. This was perfect. We had more than enough room, the view was great, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, and it was well located. Host was amazing with communication and directions.

Great unit in a great location

We loved this unit for our trip. There was plenty of room for 5 and great parking. There were minor hiccups with the property and access to the pool area and elevators can be very hard to get at checkout time. The unit owner was extremely responsive to our questions and great to deal with.
