“The owner was extremely friendly and helpful from the start. She even helped us find restaurants in the area and activities to do. The location was extremely convenient as well, since it is within walking distance to downtown Banff As there were three of us, we stayed in a Family cabin, which was more than perfect for the night. We had a kitchen, shower, and three beds to accommodate us. The cabin also had everything you could need. Shampoo (in case you forgot, like us), cork screw, glasses, mugs, etc. I would definately recommend this B&B to anyone staying in Banff.”

“This B & B is run by an amzing couple who were pleasant and extremely helpful. Breakfast was a highlight with a different menu every morning. We were made to feel very welcome and the owners helped us plan our stay in Banff. The bedrooms were 5 star quality. We had access to a comfortable lounge where drinks were offered. We added Lake Peyto to our trip on their suggestion which in many ways surpassed Lakes Moraine and Louise in its beauty! If we get to the Canadian rockies again we will certainly stay at Buffaloberry again.”
