Squamish studio suite with incredible views
Super bright and airy space! It was clean and well stocked with items in the kitchenette. The views are beautiful and the hosts were gracious enough to let us extend our trip for 3 more days. Would recommend this space to anyone visiting Squamish!

Bright, beautiful guesthouse in sunny Brackendale
Michelle and Christian were great hosts, responding quickly and were supportive and helpful with any requests or queries we had, and we had an amazing stay at their beautiful place! We will miss the mountain views from every window, and our morning runs by the river! The location was perfect for us, a quiet cul de sac and close to the amenities in Beautiful Brackendale. We will definitely be back!

Garden Suite in Squamish
Niki’s place was perfect for a family getaway! There were some books and toys for our little guy to keep busy. The location was perfect for what we wanted - quiet, but still close to cute cafes! Niki and her husband were also very communicative and flexible with our little guy’s nap needs and gave excellent Squamish recommendations! Thanks for having us guys!

Summit Retreat & Spa [Hot Tub, Sauna, Cold Plunge]
I couldn’t recommend this home more! Every detail is beautiful inside and outside the home, and the entire space is immaculately clean. We loved the access to the outdoor amenities and utilized them all after long days of hiking in the surrounding areas.

Paradise Valley Acres
We just spent 4 fabulous nights at Jessica and Jonathan's beautiful cabin. It was exactly as described and then some - very peaceful. The cabin was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated the space and the sauna was exceptional, perched by the river. And only a short, 15 minutes drive from Squamish. Jessica and Jonathan were great hosts - very responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay there again and hopefully will.

Entry Level Suite with a View
Loved this spot so much and will try to stay again. It was nicer than the photos and in a great location and had storage for crash pads and or bikes if you need it.

Sophie's Mountain Retreat - Minutes from trails!
We had the most wonderful stay! The place was perfect, the location was great and made our trip. Morgan was generous and accommodating for everything we needed!

Squamish Retreat With The Best View!
Jonathon’s place is spectacular! The view is breathtaking and we loved hanging out in the house soaking in the mountain and forest scenery. The kitchen was well appointed and made cooking a pleasure. Everything else in the house was very very nice, as well. Hated to leave. Certainly would love to go back!

Your guide to Squamish
All About Squamish
Located in British Columbia between Vancouver and Whistler, the coastal town of Squamish sits at the northern point of Howe Sound on the legendary Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99 North). Named after the original inhabitants indigenous to the area, Squamish is surrounded by mountains, and the magnificent scenery regularly attracts TV and film crews. It also draws cyclists and hikers to its many trails, including the Squamish Estuary’s flat stretches, easily accessible from downtown. Take one of the trails high above the pristine waters of nearby Alice Lake, and you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views — and an up close look at the Stawamus Chief granite dome towering over the region, an area with spiritual importance to the Squamish people even today. For gorgeous panoramas without all the legwork, ride one of the local gondolas or visit the Spit at the mouth of the Squamish River to watch kiteboarders and windsurfers gliding across the water.
Within the town of Squamish, you’ll find a vibrant artist community of painters, potters, photographers, and musicians. The lively downtown is a collection of shops, cafes and restaurants, local breweries, and numerous galleries and street murals, including more than 20 pieces of street art that you can take in on the self-guided Mural Walk.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Squamish
Squamish has a humid climate and, as such, it experiences long periods of rainfall and a short, but dry, summer. The city is full of climbers, bikers, and other outdoor lovers from March through October. June to August are the warmest, driest months, allowing you the clearest skies to take in the awe-inspiring views. Consider booking Squamish cabins in late May or early September if you’d like the nice weather with fewer visitors. During wintertime, the area’s slopes and backcountry trails attract many skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers.
Top things to do in Squamish
Stawamus Chief
Stawamus Chief, an enormous cliff-faced granite rock, is very popular with rock climbers, as there are more than 300 climbing routes on the mountain available for those with the experience and correct safety gear. The hiking trails are steep here, but the views of Howe Sound and the Coast Mountains are spectacular.
Shannon Falls
Part of a provincial park just a mile from Squamish, Shannon Falls is the third highest waterfall in British Columbia at a little under 1,100 feet in height. The scenic falls have been captured by numerous film and television production companies and can be reached by ferry from Squamish via Darrell Bay or Woodfibre or by using the Sea to Sky Gondola. You can view the cascades from below or hike up the Sea to Summit Trail to the top.
Alice Lake Provincial Park
Alice Lake Provincial Park is a popular recreation area home to four freshwater lakes — Alice, Edith, Fawn, and Stump. You’ll also find DeBeck’s Hill, which provides stunning views of the Tantalus Range and Mount Garibaldi. The waterway is a convenient spot for swimmers from its two beaches. Multiple hiking trails crisscross the park for walkers and bikers, and the lakes provide ample opportunities for fishing and canoeing. Home to many mammal and bird species — the Brackendale bald eagle colony is adjacent to Alice Lake — there is also an abundance of marine life, including the black and orange box turtles and the iridescent rainbow trout.
