    Extremely welcoming host and amazing accomodation. We stayed there during mid-December and had an amazing time. Place was clean, had a lot of kitchenware for home cooking as well as the facilities to host my family of nine. Place was one street away from shops and resteraunts which was very convenient everyday. Would easily stay there again. 5 Stars!

    The location was central to everything we wanted to see. As we had our morning coffee, we had the most amazing views of the mountains. The chalet was well layed out and everyone had their private space but gathering as a group was the best part of the experience. The central area, kitchen and dining area flowed well together. We had everything we needed and more. I would definitely recommend the black bear chalet to friends and relatives. It was a great experience and I would give it a 10 rating.

    Spectacular property! The owners have thought of everything - so stylish, comfortable, great coffee and goodies are much appreciated, lots of info about things to do. We had plenty of together time and there cozy nooks to hang out with a book, and a wonderful dining table for meals, games and conversation. Location is perfect - in the center of town. Can't wait to come back!!

    This property was absolutely perfect in every way for our family and for an amazing vacation! It was gorgeous, impeccably clean, outfitted with everything we could possibly need and in the perfect location. It was larger than we expected from the pictures. There were some comments from previous stays about the surrounding area but that was not an issue at all. The other properties aren’t renovated as perfectly as this one but we had no issues and enjoyed being steps away from an awesome downtown and multiple walks and hikes we could do from the property as well as quick access to the bus stop and grocery store. The views from the deck are amazing and the host was super helpful and accommodating.

    The Black Bear Chalet was great for our whole family, the location is as convenient as possible to downtown Banff, easy walking distance to the restaurants and shops. The place was clean and well stocked, we really enjoyed our time there!

    This house has every amenity you could want. Beautiful decorating and great views. Be sure to read the description carefully! A part of the house has a separate entrance which cuts down on the cohesiveness of the space. We hardly used it and for the cost it was a waste.

    Cannot say enough good things about the hosts, the property, and especially the location. The property worked great- we had two sets of in laws (one of whom is less mobile) and two toddlers. Enough space and separation but close enough to all be together. I missed that one bedroom was a separate unit, but it ended up working great for us - an easy walk around the front of the house. Hosts were SO patient with our slightly needy group, always immediately responsive, and SO kind. In short, they were so generous and so hospitable and definitely gave us reason to return. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Pretty sure all of our activities in town were under a mile walk, town was so easy to get around for everyone in our group. Easy drives to major Banff must-sees.

    Very pretty, nice amenities, decorated beautifully and in the perfect location to everything. Homes around the property are really rough, but it was worth it to be so close to town. Literally 1 block from everything.
