2-star self-catering cabins with mountain views in Banff
Accommodation
Two self-catering cabins at Hillside Bungalows each include a living area, private bathroom, and cable TV with DVD player. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with pots, pans, and all utensils for extended stays. Guests can use the outdoor furniture, picnic area, and terrace, with views of the surrounding mountains.
Location & Access
The property sits in a quiet residential neighborhood a 15-minute walk from Banff town centre. Ski shuttles and local bus service are within a short walk, and Sunshine Village Ski Resort is a 30-minute drive away. Free street parking and guest parking are available on site.
Amenities
The cottages are non-smoking throughout and include heating and key access. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are provided. Fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are installed, and pets are allowed on the property.
Guest Verified Details
Guests report fantastic shower pressure despite the cabin style. The fireplace serves as the heater and provides a mountain chalet feel, quieter than most hotel heaters. The cottage layout places beds on opposite sides with a curtain separating one bed for privacy.

“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.”
