Relaxing Indoor Pool

The indoor pool at Banff Gate Mountain Resort is beautifully maintained and feels incredibly inviting. I appreciated the comfortable temperature, making it perfect for a swim or a relaxing soak. I loved spending my evenings in the outdoor hot tub, surrounded by stunning mountain views. It truly enhanced my leisure experience.

Spacious Cabins

Staying in a two-bedroom cottage was a fantastic choice. The layout was wonderfully spacious, with a king-sized bed upstairs and a queen bed on the lower level. It included a fully equipped kitchen that let me cook meals easily, and I loved that I had my own large deck to enjoy the beautiful views.

Fun Game Room

One of my favorite spots in the resort was the games room. It was equipped with air hockey, a pool table, and foosball, which really made for a fun evening with friends. Plus, having a huge selection of DVD movies available for borrowing was a nice touch on chill nights after outdoor activities.

The resort is nestled in a beautiful, quiet location, offering stunning mountain views and spacious units. However, the property feels a bit dated, and the cleanliness could use improvement in some areas. It's conveniently close to both Canmore and Banff, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, it's a good choice for a cozy getaway, but it does need some renovations and better maintenance.

The resort is set in a beautiful, secluded area with stunning mountain views. While the spacious cabin provided a pleasant stay, there were several issues that detracted from the experience, such as outdated amenities and service problems. Overall, it felt more like a work-in-progress and could use a good amount of upkeep.

I had an amazing time at this resort, tucked away peacefully in the forest but only a short drive from Canmore. The chalet was spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. The views were stunning, creating a perfect backdrop for a tranquil getaway. However, I did feel a bit overwhelmed by the strict rules and extra charges, which took away from the relaxation factor. Overall, it was excellent value for money, especially compared to other options in the area.
