The room was very comfortable and clean. The parking was right outside of the unit and food was within a walkable distance.

This property was in such a beautiful setting! It felt like a bit of a jungle oasis even though it was so walkable to the town; and the little patio was perfect to sit on and listen to the birds while having our morning tea/coffee.
Staff were helpful and friendly, the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean and well laid out. We’d recommend this property!

This is a very nice stand alone unit that is an easy walk to town and some local trails. The unit is well laid out with pleny of plates and utensils for use in the kitchenette.

The cottages are very comfortable and clean, but are tightly packed on the lot, so you are right on top of the next one and my have a very obstructed view. The noise insulation is also not perfect, so you may hear your neighbor. The service is great and they are kept very clean.

Comfortable and quiet in a good location for restaurants snd attractions. The cottages are a bit close together so the sitting area is confined but they are well equipped with excellent bathrooms

Franz Josef is small so everything is close except the glacier.
