Banff Mountain View/Entire Townhouse/2BD&1.5 BATH
Perfect place for winter or summer adventures. Has everything you need for your stay

Mountain View 3 Bedroom Canmore Townhome
Beautiful townhouse in Canmore; close to everything. Easy check in; good communication. Lovely mountain views as shown in the pictures on Airbnb. We used the kitchen and found everything we needed. Our family enjoyed our stay.

Mercer Clubhouse (3-Bed Unit)
Our place in Canmore was beautiful. We had a lovely view of the mountains and the place was large enough (with many beds) to sleep our large family. Kasia was very helpful before the trip with recommendations and during the stay if we needed extra items or instructions. This was a great experience.

Private Hot Tub /Patio / Mountain View / AC/Wi-Fi
We loved our stay here, great location for access to the Big3 ski resorts, and very responsive host. Highly recommend!

Bright & Cozy One Bedroom Suite
Katrin and J.P.’s place was beautiful and just as described. It is walking distance to downtown Banff. They were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them. Would 100% stay here again, if we make it back Banff!

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!

Banff House Rental by the Bow river - Abegweit
I really can't say enough goods things about this property. Absolutely perfect as verified by the many other 5 star reviews. Not only a great location on a large property, 2 minute walk from shops and restaurants, plenty of room for 8 and very comfortable, but you are quite literally staying in a museum. The artwork, furnishings and historic nature of the building are difficult to describe, yet the highlight of the stay. ~Erik

BRAND NEW Executive 3 BR Home w/Mountain Views!

Bonus for providing a national park for us while we stayed there. I highly recommend their spot and would gladly re book for future!

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!

Love love this place - so perfect for me and my two boys ski competition. Don't waste you money on a hotel when you can stay in a beautiful place that makes you feel like your at home. Make sure to check out the most beautiful river walk just a few steps away - start at the frozen creek and make your way to the most clear river around. Will definitely be back many times in the future!

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.
