Three walls of glass framing Cascade Mountain, and a fourth of hand-laid local stone. Designed by a Calgary architect as a personal retreat and rented only a few weeks a year. Dark-sky certified — the stargazing from the soaking tub is the part guests write home about.
- Outdoor soaking tub under a dark-sky reserve
- Ten minutes from the Banff townsite
- Radiant heated floors throughout

We had a question about the heating on arrival and got a call back in five minutes. Everything else was flawless.

Worth every dollar. The living room ended up being where we spent the whole weekend, which says something.

Immaculate, and the check-in instructions were the clearest I have had anywhere. We were unpacked and in the water inside ten minutes.
