Marys property was great! Very private overlooking and in walking distance to Lake Louise! Great outdoor space on front patio and back covered porch! Kitchen was well appointed with everything I needed to prepare meals, with condiments available for use. Beds were very comfortable and living space was cozy and also bright! Mary was a wonderful host who responded quickly when we had a 90 degree day in April and we couldn't get the A/C working. Overall, we would definitely stay here again! It felt like home!
