Charming cottage with nice view of water streaming down the mountain. Perfect location to hike the Falls during less crowded hours. Cozy beds and warm showers after long hikes. The fireplace was an added bonus.

Disappointing Second Stay

Disappointing second stay at Johnston Canyon. Stayed here in September, and loved everything about the place. This time I booked a smaller cabin, and although it was cute, there were a few annoying things. After check in, I tried to make coffee but the lid on the coffee pot was broken, and fell off, and the coffee went everywhere. The girl from housekeeping turned up quickly (thankfully) with another coffee pot and helped me clear up. The next issue was have to listen to builders working on neighbouring cabins. This went on all through Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. I would have loved to sit outside on the deck to relax but this wasn’t possible due to the workmen. It’s not at all relaxing listening to drills going! Next issue, there is no heating in the bathroom, and as the temperature was below freezing at night and early morning, using the bathroom and shower was not a pleasant experience! And lastly, the food in the shop cooler wasn’t as nice this time. In September they sold lovely yogurt parfaits and freshly made sandwiches. This time there was only curled up old sandwiches and pots of fruit that was past its best.
Shirley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We liked our historic cabin. It was clean and comfortable and the restaurant on site and coffee counter were great as this is in a relatively remote location. Great access to Johnson Canyon hike!
