“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2009

The perfect B & B. The room was cozy, the huge pine bed was very comfortable with huge fluffy pillows. Located in a nice quiet neighbourhood, but still close to Canmore. The hosts were very friendly and always available to answer questions and suggest good places to see, eat ect..... While we were there the hosts actually went away for the last day of our stay but they had someone come in who was just as helpful and gracius as they were. The breakfast was wonderful, lot's of variety, and plenty of fresh fruit, and always served hot and with a smile. It turned out to be the perfect place to stay if you were visiting Banff & Lake Louise, you did not have to worry about having a "Park Pass" while at the B & B, only when actually visiting the Parks, and it was close enough to commute back and forth. It was a great start to our vacation and we would love to visit again.

“Cozy accommodation in Canmore”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2008

My partner & I stayed in Canmore for 2 nights on our way through to Calgary. Located a short drive outside of the main town, it was a comfortable bed, a place to rest and sleep for our short time. Ann was a lovely host who had such a pleasant smile and was very polite. While we were there, there was also another Australian couple staying.

“Away Inn is very nice, I plan to return there”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2008

Beautiful comfortable room & very large ensuite bathroom, gorgeous furniture and decor. The owners are delightful, personable, attentive.
Don't be deterred by the "manufactured home"- the interior is spacious with gorgeous furniture, artwork (contemporary decor). And we heard no sounds from any of the neighbors even though the houses are close together.
Our large very comfortable bed had beautiful linens & comforter, small refrigerator in large closet. There's a large open living room for guests (nice leather furniture, tv, quiet music)
Hot tub is great. My husband and I had done a lot of hiking so sitting in that at night was wonderful. Everything looked very new.
Breakfast was delicious, omelets, fruit, good bread, coffee or tea, juice. (the kitchen is not for guests though cookies & tea are available for snacks. The family uses the kitchen and they are very quiet, we never heard any bothersome noise even though the kitchen was near our bedroom door). This B&B has guest suite upstairs & the owners live downstairs.
It's a short drive to main area of Canmore (2 min). We'd stayed closer to the main downtown in another inn but also drove there b/c of the traffic. The Canmore Nordic Center is just a few minutes drive away with terrific hiking, biking & ski trails.

  • Liked — so nicely decorated, new/clean, great bed
  • Disliked — manufactured home neighborhood (but inside was superior so I'll go back there)
