10/10 Exceptional

Very helpful staff. I called the office about our need and we were able to check in after office hour, check out before 8am due to Park Canada shuttle, use microwave in morning, and rent bear spay and return it after check out. All well like a breeze. And the cabin is very cute, quiet, clean and well stocked. Thank you so much!

We were there for my son’s wedding. Loved the cabin. It had really nice up to -date furniture and comfy beds. The cabins are very quiet. Lots of foot traffic for the falls…and we found service at the restaurant slow but the staff super friendly.

We loved our stay at Johnston Canyon! You cannot beat the location. It was so nice being right at the trailhead, and not having to worry about parking. It was nice having the restaurant and gift shop right there. We didn't utilize the DVD's or board games, but it was nice to know it was an option.

We absolutely loved our stay at Johnston Canyon. The staff was very friendly and the cottage was immaculate. The food at bistro was delicious and being right next to Johnton Canyon trail was perfect. We would definitely recommend staying at this resort. You will not be disappointed.

We loved staying in these cozy cabins!! They were clean and comfortable and so easy to hike before and after all the daily tourists. We enjoyed take out from the restaurant and borrowed free DVDs for family movie night. Also rented bear spray. Would highly recommend!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The bungalows are charming, the restaurant is good, but the draw is the entrance to Johnston Canyon Falls and Ink Pots Hike. Because you are on property, you have parking and can hike by 8am or after 5pm and see the sites without massive crowds, then have a hearty breakfast or dinner after at a reasonable priced restaurant. We did have a couple of issues with the Bungalow, and staff a bit defensive that we didn’t communicate it until the end, but I wasn’t asking for discount, just trying to let them know so they could fix before the next guest. Beds were a bit hard, no microwave, but an oven/stove and frig in our 2 bedroom unit. While we had wifi, so so and couldn’t screencast but that’s ok, not here for technology. For us, this was a great stop for one night, so we could hike upon check in and again the next morning. But I didn’t feel it had enough to do to stay longer.
