Banff Log Cabin B&B

Banff Town


If having your own cozy cabin only steps from the rush of Bow River Falls sounds appealing, you'll love this B&B. Wedding planner/photographer owners Sharon and Malcolm ply guests with a comfy bed, prosecco and handmade local chocolates, tea kettles, an outdoor fire pit for roasting marshmallows and loaner bikes for the short ride across the pedestrian bridge into town.

A delicious breakfast is served each morning on your sunny front deck, where you can watch for deer and fawns on the adjacent lawn. Free parking (a rare luxury in Banff) is provided right out front. There's a minimum two-night stay, so you actually have time to settle in and appreciate the place.

Oh, and in case you're wondering why the B&B is so close to the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, this was once the site of the hotel's private dairy farm!
