Mountain View Condo 10min Walk to DT with Hot Tub

ReyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely fantastic stay! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the attention to detail. The kitchen was well-stocked including unlimited coffee pods, the bathroom had plenty of towels and toiletries, and the overall cleanliness and comfort were top-notch. It felt like a home away from home. We were incredibly impressed by the thoughtfulness of the hosts, who clearly anticipated every need. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a truly exceptional stay. One thing that would be nice to have is more closet space BUT this should not deter future guests from renting this place as it is really nice and surpassed our expectations! We just mention this so as not to expect big closet space. Lastly, the heated pool and hot tub is a great amenity to this place! Thanks again Albert and Annie for being a great host!

Mountain View 3 Bedroom Canmore Townhome

CiRating, 5 stars3 days ago
It's a really nice place and the host is really friendly. It's just the address in navigation will bring you to another road where there is a fence, and you cannot pass it to go to the unit, so do the delivery guy. Remember to take the other way.

Canadian Rocky Mountain Retreat

EstherRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Michael’s place was the perfect home away from home. Having family from overseas visiting I wanted to make sure it was comfortable. And it sure was! Everything matched the description. Actually the pictures honestly do not show how nice and spacious the space is. So the space exceeded my expectations. The hosts were very responsive and sweet. Our family vacation was truly a vacation where we did not have to worry about anything except making memories. If I ever come back to the area I will look up your place. Thanks again!

Rundle Vista | Rock Climbing Wall

JohnRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Fantastic stay (second time). Is a great property for larger groups. We have 6 on a work retreat. Everyone was comfortable in their own rooms. Was lots of space to relax and socialize, especially the games room! Views are spectacular and exactly why you come to the mountains.

Banff House Rental by the Bow river - Abegweit

KristinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful family ski trip to Banff! The free shuttles to the Lake Louise and Sunshine ski resorts were only 1/2 block away. Lots of shopping and restaurants within a short walk of the house. The kitchen was well stocked, but for feeding 8 we could have used another large pot or a wok. Despite the very cold weather, the house stayed nice and warm. The squeaks of the floors and stairs was nostalgic for us, as was the 1920's Singer sewing machine upstairs. There was lots of table space for puzzling and board games. Thank you for a great stay!

"La Sierra" - At Summit GR - Penthouse 1539 sqft!

DinaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was such a great stay for our family of 5. As an Airbnb host, I really appreciated the extra touches - coffee, drinking water filter, in-unit laundry with supplies. The unit is spacious, clean, with everything you might need. 2 underground, secure parking spots are provided. Beds and pillows are comfortable, kids loved the slide and pool. Checkout was easy. Location in Canmore was super convenient for our activities, plus we really enjoyed the town for easy dining and avoiding crowds. It’s a quick drive to Banff which was super busy, so glad we found this place. Michael is a great host. Don’t hesitate to book. We plan to come back in the summer!

Vaulted Ceiling 2BR in Prime Location

KimRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved Jun’s place! The beds were comfortable enough, the bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The unit was private and the building itself was quiet. The underground parking was high enough for our truck. The location was perfect! It was exactly where we wanted to be as we planned on just taking the bus to Banff. There were great restaurants in the area, too. We always have a wonderful time in Canmore/Banff but usually stay in hotels. We’re glad we stayed here this time!

Grey Owl’s Nest: Your Rocky Mountain Escape

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a great time at Robert’s place in Canmore. Awesome location, it was quiet, clean, and well stoked with thoughtful amenities to make the stay that much better. We had an issue with the hearing and Robert responded to a text immediately, and came over that evening to sort it out. Would love to stay again!!

Cozy | HotTub | BBQ | Self checkin | Nearby trails

AndrewRating, 5 starstoday
We've stayed in Dead man's Flats, particularly at the Copperstone very many times! And Evelyn's place is the perfect place to stay during your time in Banff or Kananaskis! The location of this suite is one the closest to the hot tub, and you can even look out the window to check to see if there's anyone there in case you wanted some alone time instead!! The accomodation had everything we needed including an LG washer and dryer to wash everything after spending all day in the mountains! It was the perfect size for my wife, dog, and myself. We didn't use the bunk beds or sofa bed, so it can definitely accomodate more people if you're okay with one bathroom! There's some traffic that will go by the window, but not much! If you're staying with your dog, you can easily walk out the patio and head onto the ~5km trail loop that goes along the Bow River as well! Another plus is that it's a super short jaunt from the parking garage to the room.

DerekRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay! Lots of room and comfy beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. Really nice having two bathrooms too. The resort complex was really good too. We had a lot of fun in the indoor/outdoor hot tub, and we had several great meals at the restaurant. There are a number of restaurants in walking distance from the resort.

Your guide to Banff

All About Banff

There are two Banffs — summer Banff and winter Banff — and both are equally spectacular. Built as a resort town in the 1880s in the middle of Banff National Park, this picturesque western village, ringed by mountains, is the ideal base for a Canadian Rockies adventure.

In summer, hikers wander up Tunnel Mountain for a few hours or head deep into the backcountry for days. Canoes skate across the spectacular blue-green Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, whose waters are fed by glacier. Biking, mountain climbing, golfing, and outdoor sports may be the main draw, but they aren’t the only activities to enjoy: The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity hosts concerts and plays, and the Whyte Museum brings together art and local history. When snow covers the mountains and valleys, Banff becomes a ski and snowboard town, with three resorts nearby. A snowshoe stroll around one of the lakes may bring you close to native flora and fauna.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Banff

You’ll want to wear active clothes for an activity-rich destination, but keep each season’s demands in mind. Summer lasts from June through September and peaks in July, when daytime temperatures regularly hit the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit. Remember: You’re high in the Rockies, so keep sweaters and light jackets on you to protect against the evening chill.

From January through March, Banff is covered in snow and ice — temperatures can easily plummet below zero Fahrenheit. The cold is dry, too, so be prepared with plenty of heavy layers and warm boots with good treads. In spring and fall, the temperature varies wildly, so pack for a wide range of conditions and check the local forecasts before you go.


Top things to do in Banff

Banff Gondola

It takes eight minutes for the Banff Gondola aerial lift to sweep up the tree-covered slope of Sulphur Mountain to the upper platform, at an altitude of 7,500 feet, where mountain peaks stretch to the horizon. Cafes and restaurants allow you to linger at the heights, or if you prefer to stay outdoors, take a short hike along the ridge or gather around a fire pit in winter.

Upper Hot Springs

Geothermal hot springs emerging out of a massive fault in Sulphur Mountain brought visitors to Banff for the water cure in the late 19th century, and this outdoor pool, which averages 100 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and summer, continues to instill restorative bliss. (Bring a swimsuit, or rent one.)

Lake Louise

This gorgeous lake is almost as big a draw as Banff — even the spectacular 35-mile drive between the two cities is a must-do. The turquoise lake is cradled by a host of peaks. You can kayak or canoe in its glacial waters, hike up the domed Beehive mountains, or meander around the town of Lake Louise.
