    Everything was wonderful - clean, well-equipped, comfortable beds, amazing shower water pressure, extremely convenient to everything, and thoughtful extras (coffee, chocolates, cookies).

    This luxury chalet is extraordinarily comfortable, convenient, and well stocked with many special touches. This home base was in a perfect location for all our activities in Banff, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, and the Icefields Parkway. Sonja was very friendly and helpful; check-in and check-out were remarkably easy. We hope to be able to stay here again in the future.

Three different options for making coffe in the morning, as well as tea. Fully equipped kitchen with all dishes, utensils and pots and pans.All three bedrooms are well appointed with very comfortable beds. All three bathrooms were sparkling clean with amazing showers.Outdoor patio with plenty of seating and great views of the sunset over the mountains.All of this PLUS super access to downtown Banff. Easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, groceries, and wine shop.We traveled as two couples and everyone in the party was well pleased. We can not wait for a return visit. This beautiful property has it all, as well as location, location, location!Can not recommend more highly!

    This property was exactly what we were looking for!! Such a beautiful spot, close to everything but quiet and relaxing at the same time. Very well stocked with everything you'll need, along with some very comfy slippers for everyone! A HUGE 'Thanks Again' for having us, Peter and Sonja :) Cheers.

    What you see is what you get … the VRBO photos probably understate how lovely the decor, layout and cleanliness of the home! They have thought of every “need” detail. The living room and dining table had plenty of room for everyone. Everything was wonderful and very comfortable and the location was only one short block from the downtown area and grocery store. Loved our time at Black Bear! Wonderful!
