Absolutely perfect

With our older kids we were looking for something that had beds for each of them and some space. This was perfect. We had more than enough room, the view was great, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, and it was well located. Host was amazing with communication and directions.

Great unit in a great location

We loved this unit for our trip. There was plenty of room for 5 and great parking. There were minor hiccups with the property and access to the pool area and elevators can be very hard to get at checkout time. The unit owner was extremely responsive to our questions and great to deal with.

Great Location in Canmore

The location is very convenient to food and ice cream (check out Lovely Ice Cream). The unit was clean and worked great for our family of 8 including 2 children. The owner was very responsive to my questions. The kitchen is very modern and included a nice coffee maker and coffee beans. The beds were comfortable. It is an easy ride to Banff and Lake Louise. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to others.

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.

Canmore Stay

This property was in a great location. The apartment was as described online with all amenities available for use. With just a short drive you're in Banff exploring all the amazing attractions. A little more emphasis can be placed on sanitizing the floors but other than that we had a great stay! The host also responded in a timely manner to answer any questions. All in all the unit was comfortable, quiet, well equipped and serviced our family's needs quite well. These hosts know how to treat their guests well! I highly recommend Grey Owls Nest!

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.

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.
