Airbnb in Canmore

Canmore is one of the top Airbnb markets across Canada. It hosts a strong four-season rental market although summer is undeniably peak season.

Canmore is the bedroom community of neighbouring Banff but has become a vacation destination in and of it’s own. Unlike Banff, vacation rentals are legal in Canmore which is why it’s such a fantastic market. Banff’s strict zoning regulations have created huge opportunity for rentals in Canmore since they can tap into the high demand for accommodation spilling over from Banff. Banffs hotel industry has the highest average nightly rates of any destination in Canada.

Canmore is a prime vacation rental market. Just a 20-minute drive from Banff, it commands some of Canada’s highest ADR rates, making it an appealing and profitable location for many property owners. Combine this with the stunning natural beauty and recreational opportunities in the area, and it becomes clear that Canmore offers a beautiful and economically sound market for vacation rental operations.
