Perfect for our family - comfy beds, quality appliances, great kitchen. Having two queen beds in the second bedroom was ‘clutch’ (according to the teen kids). Pet friendly was another draw.

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!

a pleasant stay

We had a great time staying in Canmore, overall. There was just a false advertisement from Vrbo as we were expecting to live in a detached house or a chalet, not inside a condo/lodge. We were 8 in total, so it would've been better to stay in a detached house.
