Castle Mountain Chalets

Good place

Castle Mountain Chalets is a great location, very easy to access trailheads, waterfalls and lakes. 20 minute ride to town of Banff. Views from the cabin are stunning, staff is friendly and helpful, cabins are clean and fire pits and grills are a great addition. My only wish is that carpets and furnishings were updated. I barely heard the train at night, it was a non issue.

Located so beautifully!

The cabin itself was basic and clean. We are hikers, so it worked well for us. What we didn’t realize is that the train tracks run right next to the property (Castle Junction) and the trains come through 3-4 times during the night, blowing their whistles. I am a light sleeper and felt that I slept very little for the 5 nights we were there.😩 Awful.

I stayed with family for 4 nights. Very basic amenities. It’s way overpriced for the condition of and facilities on the property. It’s not worth more than one night of stay during transit. I was also charged a higher amount than the total I was given by Expedia.

Castle Mountain Pine Chalet is a dream come true for out of town travellers. Our family of four stayed in this chalet for two nights and felt comfortable in the King bed and large pull out couch. The pine interior/exterior and the incredible setting felt like something out of a movie. We enjoyed the entire premises, including the general store (kids loved the unique treats), Osprey Lodge (with ping pong, foosball and laundry facilities that we used) and the gorgeous view of Castle Mountain. As cottagers, we were okay with no air conditioning and the rustic feel. The bathroom, beds and kitchen were incredibly clean and felt well rested as we explored Banff and Lake Louise. We hope to come back!

The floors and beds are squeezky. My dad is a light sleeper. He wakes up all the time because of the squeeky floors. Staff are nicer and so the area. In between Banff and lake Louies area (30 minutes each way) Not much options about the dining. Bring your own food and cook at the Chalets. Nice view of Mountain Castle.

This is such a lovely little gem of a property. We love to stay in the one bedroom chalets to stretch out, enjoy the jacuzzi tub and fireplace, and watch the wildlife that are always nearby. The cabins are spacious and bright, with well-appointed kitchens. The only downsides were 1) someone had obviously been either smoking or vaping in our unit before we were there, and we had to open all the windows to try to get rid of the smell (I'm surprised housekeeping didn't do this before our arrival, and 2) this year we were placed in a cabin further down the path that faces away from the center area, which meant the train noise was much louder at night when it would go by. The train blows its whistle as it comes to our junction because it is also where there is a major road crossing the tracks. 3) One other downside to staying here is that the prices have skyrocketed, which makes it a very difficult place to afford. We still love this place for its charm and its convenient location to both Banff and Lake Louise, being midway between the two of these areas, and being at the base of Castle Mountain allows for some gorgeous views.

The wood cabin is very noisy because it’s by the highway and railroad. You have to sleep with earplugs. The quality of equipment is poor and there are some steps in the cabin that is easy to fall. Frankly the owner is efficient on request and offers good service. It’s the highlight of our trip. We especially chose the most expensive hotel for two nights on the information offered by the platform.It’s very disappointed.

Wonderful little cabins, away from the crowds in town!
