Hosts' Personal Touch

Owners Chrissy and Jiri, avid travelers themselves, opened Hillside Bungalows nearly 30 years ago to share their love of Banff. Check-in is between 16:00 and 22:00. Summer rates start at $325 per night, winter at $175 (based on double occupancy). The property is located at 452 Muskrat Street.

“These Banff cottages feel like a steal, considering how close they are to the town center's bustle. Kitchenettes and cozy fireplaces mean savings and comfort, which can be rare in Banff. I think this is a solid choice for families or couples wanting a laid-back, self-catered mountain experience.”
