The property was perfect for our group of 7 adults and 1 infant. The bunk bed room worked great for our group. The house was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked - we cooked all our meals in. There is a lot of parking outside the unit. The management team were great to deal with - when our code didn’t work they responded very quickly and were super helpful! We had a wonderful stay!

We stayed at 3 different VRBO's on our 11 day trip to the area. This was by the best one! We loved everything about it. Great layout. Very clean. Beautiful view. Comfy beds. Evening walks on the trail out front. One evening we even saw moose or elk! So much food in the area. Very walkable town. Every morning we walked to the coffee shop. Great communication from the property manager. We hope to come back again.

We used this rental as our headquarters for exploring the Canmore/Banff area. The townhouse was well stocked and clean and the views are lovely. This is close to grocery and restaurants and an easy drive the park. There are stairs and beds well-suited for a family.

We loved our stay at this adorable townhome, and it met all of our family's needs. The manager, Jane, was SO kind and easy to work with. Great location with beautiful views, and only an easy 15 minute drive to Banff. A great choice for your stay in the Canadian Rockies!

Fantastic place to stay. Enough beds for all of us.
Loved the balcony..sadly looked like the umbrella went missing..very hot the weekend we were there and would have loved to have some shade while sitting out.
Difficulty with the air con... did not seem to work properly. Just kept all our blinds and windows closed during the day.
Would definitely book again!

Great setup for a group of adults that want to get together. Able to easily fit 8 friends together with enough space to sleep comfortably and not feel too tight. Perfect location for access to Canmore. Jane, the host is very responsive. Will recommend.

The place was nice, in a good location and well stocked. I have a complaint that there wasn't enough spots for sitting in the living room considering the place holds 8. I would return though.

El Refugio was perfect for our family vacation that included 2 older teenagers and my elderly mother. Super clean and well appointed with every detail we could imagine. Great location with short walks to numerous restaurants and grocery store. Downtown Canmore was only about 10 min walk. A great running trail right across the street was perfect. We will definitely be back!

The house was spotlessly clean and communication with the owner was fast and efficient. The only suggestion I would make is to provide more wine glasses.
