Cozy Mountain Cabins

Hillside Bungalows offers two self-catering cabins, each with a fully equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and mountain views. The cabins include a living area, private bathroom with a hair dryer, and cable TV with a DVD player. Each unit has a seating and dining area, as well as a private deck with a BBQ. Two beds are provided per cabin.

Near Banff Attractions

The property is a 15-minute walk from Banff town center and 1 km from the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. Nearby landmarks include Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum (1.5 km), Banff Park Museum (1.1 km), and Bow Falls (2 km). Ski shuttles and local bus service are available within a short walk. Sunshine Village Ski Resort is a 30-minute drive away.

Self-Catering Convenience

Each cabin includes an electric kettle, cookware, and kitchen utensils for preparing meals. Ironing facilities, heating, and tea/coffee amenities are provided. The private deck with garden furniture allows for outdoor dining.

Family-Friendly Stay

Up to two children under 18 can stay free, and one child under 2 stays free. The cabins offer a quiet setting with parquet floors and garden views.

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.”
