This luxury chalet is extraordinarily comfortable, convenient, and well stocked with many special touches. This home base was in a perfect location for all our activities in Banff, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, and the Icefields Parkway. Sonja was very friendly and helpful; check-in and check-out were remarkably easy. We hope to be able to stay here again in the future.

The Black Bear Chalet had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our visit to Banff! The house was super clean, spacious and comfy….the mountain views from the balcony were awesome; hints of the sunrise and sunset! Being so close to town allowed us to walk to dinner, get groceries and sightsee!

Perfect Location, Perfect House

What you see is what you get … the VRBO photos probably understate how lovely the decor, layout and cleanliness of the home! They have thought of every “need” detail. The living room and dining table had plenty of room for everyone. Everything was wonderful and very comfortable and the location was only one short block from the downtown area and grocery store. Loved our time at Black Bear! Wonderful!

The perfect retreat!! Close to Banff and Bow Walkway

First off, the home is better than the pictures! Loved our stayed! The home is so well appointed with lots of love. Beds are wonderful. Excellent showers. 10 stars!! The location can not be beat!!! Views from every room. 1 block from Banff and 2 blocks from the Bow River! It's also very quiet there. I could go on and on! Spend the $$$ and stay where you'll be comfortable, and close to everything. We never used our car unless we were leaving the area.

Perfect location for experiencing Banff

The second you arrive at the property you immediately know that this home is loved & cared for. Little touches (extra towels, tea, coffee, a book full of local information to help visitors) ensure that you have everything you need for a fabulous stay. Beds were comfortable and living areas were generously sized but still felt cozy. Only a brief 5 minute walk to the Banff Ave where all the shops and restaurants are located and streets were well lit and felt safe. Correspondence with the hosts were seamless. My friends and I enjoyed our stay and have already recommended this home to friends and family considering a trip to the area.

My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary with children and their spouses! It’s a rare event where we are all together these days. House was convenient to everything, beautifully outfitted, and a great place to start a new adventure ever morning! Would definitely recommend it for adult families.

Perfect Banff getaway

Our family loved Black Bear Chalet! The owners were extremely helpful, the apartment was spotless and very well equipped. The common room is filled with light and Mountain views. The location couldn’t have been better: on a quiet street one block off Banff ave and a block from the grocery. This was the ideal Banff lodging for us.

Great location. Very comfortable accommodation.

We loved having the village so close and within easy driving to gondola and hikes. Well furnished with all we needed for coffee and quick breakfast and wine to relax after long day. Fireplace was great since the temps were a little cool. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows, excellent towels and plenty of hot water. We lacked for nothing!

Location à Banff

Bonjour, nous avons apprécié notre séjour, c'est une belle maison, elle est de bon goût. Bien situé. Le seul B mol, que j'apporterais, pour des gens comme nous qui sommes en ski toute la journée, nous aimons faire le repas à la maison le soir. Il n'a pas de four, il a seulement deux petits ronds, ce n'est pas très pratique pour faire la cuisine pour 6 personnes. De plus, lorsque nous sommes la pour une semaine entière et faisons du sport, ce serait pratique d'avoir au moins accès sur place à une laveuse et sécheuse. Merci

Perfect place to stay

The cabin is amazing. You have Banff’s downtown on a walking distance, and you can enjoy a nice view to the mountains from the cabin’s deck. The cabin is really clean and cozy and the beds are really comfortable. The only thing you should be aware of, is that it doesn’t have a laundry, so either take enough underwear, or be prepared to go and wash it at walking distance laundry.
