S Canada

Loved the location tucked away in the woods next to the Johnston Canyon trail. My husband and I stayed in one of the Red Cabins and we thought it was great. The staff at the front desk was very nice and welcoming. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely stay here again. We loved Johnston Canyon Bungalows!

Location, location, location. Stunning setting fir a great weekend retreat. Restaurant food was great, more inline with what you would expect for mainstream restaurant in the city. Have to taste the coffee.

Felix Canada

Well proximity to a beautiful hike. The view. The chalet /cottage atmosphere.

Roxanne Canada

I booked a cabin for our anniversary and it couldn’t of been more perfect . Charming , rustic and cozy. The perfect little mountain getaway. Our cabin had a gas fireplace that kept the room nice and toasty. Our bed was comfortable. I wouldn’t of changed a thing. We loved our experience!

Danielle Canada

I would say that I liked that you got your own little cabin at the Johnston canyon. It was very cute,clean,and quaint. We loved that you can hike and not have to drive. The Johnston canyon is in backyard of the bungalows. My husband and I liked the reateraunt on the grounds the food was quite tasty we had the garlic shrimp and ceaser salad.

Taylor Canada

We were in cabin 16 which has a queen bed, couch, chair, table with two chairs, mini fridge, ice bucket, mini coffee maker, TV cupboard, bathroom with a shower. It was clean, comfortable and very quaint. We used the tv cupboard to hold our snacks, kettle, French press and teas. If you are planning to use light housekeeping, or staying more than a few days, I would recommend a different category of cabin. The bed is comfortable with three good pillows. The room heating is a gas stove which worked well, except that the heat struggled to reach the bathroom. There was a good supply of hot water. We wanted to use the barbecue two nights to cook dinner so housekeeping kindly dropped off plates and flatware for our use.
