My wife and I are fairly well traveled and rarely spend time in a hotel. We almost exclusively use small owner operated rentals. Luc and his lovely place are a standout.
First Luc. What a great guy. He left a nice note on the front door for where we were staying and how to get in. He apologized for not being able to be there when we arrived. When we started moving stuff in he actually appeared from out back as he was just leaving. Even though he had things to do, he stopped, talked to us about the place, the area, how to get ahold of him, and he even got us some ice. Throughout our stay we bumped into him a couple times and he always had a smile on his face and things to do ready to suggest.
The room itself was the cleanest and best maintained place we have stayed. We have been in 6 month old rentals that looked horrible compared to this. Everything was spotless and well put together. There is an electric fireplace as well as an electric heater in the bathroom so you can warm the area up more before a shower. The kitchen had a kettle, coffee maker, microwave, hot plate, and large mini fridge with a freezer section big enough for a bag of ice. The water was great (just as Luc had bragged about) and there were plenty of pans, utensils, flatware, etc. The bed was an amazing foam mattress that somehow both myself and wife like even though we are on opposite sides of the squishness scale.
Field is a great location. Close to Banff NP and many of the great Yoho park hikes and locations. The town is very small but we were amazed by the quality of The Truffle Pig. A great restaurant run by friendly people. If you are looking for a tourist filled area with shopping and restaurants galore this will not work for you. But if you are looking for a nice small area with extremely friendly people to unwind in after a day of hiking you cannot go wrong here.
Cost wise this was comparable to other places I looked into. The difference is I left here happy I gave my money to Luc. He earned every penny.
