This place was a fantastic place to stay! It was cozy and clean, with beautiful views. Albert made the experience very easy and was very responsive. Everything was within walking distance.

Brand NEW! Executive Mountain HomeW/Stunning Views
Very nice airbnb, very clean and really close to everything, was a good option for our 8 person crew.

Banff Mountain View/Entire Townhouse/2BD&1.5 BATH
Frank’s place was wonderful! It was in a convenient location and only a few minutes to Banff! Right after booking, a link was sent with all sorts of recommendations and things to do in the area. Although it was a townhouse like house, it was very quiet and private. A park pass was even provided upon arrival and very clear instructions. Frank was very responsive and answered any questions I had within 20 minutes. I would highly highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Banff. Super safe, private, convenient, and reasonably priced!

Mountain View 3 Bedroom Canmore Townhome
Our stay at Scott's mountain property exceeded expectations! Scott was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout, making our experience seamless and stress-free. The tastefully decorated great room was the highlight—perfect for our group with comfortable seating and beautiful flow for socializing. The stunning mountain views from the windows and spacious deck were breathtaking, ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, and we appreciated the abundance of towels and comfortable beds. The thoughtful layout created a spacious yet cozy atmosphere, with everything immaculately clean and appearing brand new. Ample street parking accommodated our vehicles- with one assigned parking space. Only minor drawback: one bathroom is ensuite, leaving just one for remaining guests, but this hardly affected our wonderful stay. This property is a gem we hope to return to. For a spectacular mountain retreat, I highly recommend Scott's place!

Private Hot Tub /Patio / Mountain View / AC/Wi-Fi
Lots of room for our family of 6. Thirty minutes to ski Sunshine. Private hot tub. Responsive host. Easy parking and access into this main floor unit.

Bright & Cozy One Bedroom Suite
We had a wonderful stay in this nicely appointed, cosy apartment. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen, the good quality linens and towels, the large washing machine and tumble dryer and hosts who responded very quickly to any message we sent. There were great restaurants, a well stocked supermarket and many other tourist amenities within easy walking distance. The ski shuttle bus stops and local transit bus stops were a 5 minute walk away which gave easy access to the ski resorts and to other attractions such as Banff Gondola, the Banff Hot Springs, the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel (for spa services and cocktails at The Rundle Bar) and to explore the wider area. We were also delighted that the hosts had provided a selection of board games and a challenging but do-able 500 piece jigsaw which we enjoyed completing across the course of our stay. We can highly recommend this property if you are looking for a cosy home from home whilst visiting Banff at any time of the year.

Canadian Rocky Mountain Retreat
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
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.

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

Spacious Getaway near Banff w/ Heated Pool!
A great place that I will definitely visit again! Tina and Steve were very welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. An ideal, convenient location, where you can walk to tasty restaurants and get onto Hwy 1 easily to hit the slopes. The beds and couches were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The open living room/ dining room/ kitchen layout was nice; allowing everyone to connect while cooking. Lastly, being able to see the mountains through the row of trees from the balcony and every bedroom window was special.

Spacious Top Floor, 2BR/2Bath, perfect location.

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.
