Planning a mountain getaway and looking for better value on accommodation? Before booking in Banff or Canmore, compare our four Ghost Lake vacation rentals near Cochrane. A stay in the foothills could leave more room in your budget for dining, sightseeing and exploring the Canadian Rockies.

A Different Way to Plan Your Mountain Getaway
If accommodation prices in Banff and Canmore are stretching your holiday budget, consider staying farther east in the Ghost Lake area.
For guests travelling by car, our rentals offer a foothills base for outings to Canmore, Banff and Kananaskis, with Cochrane nearby for shopping and dining. Spend a day exploring, then return to your accommodation for dinner and an evening at your own pace.
Our properties are outside the mountain towns, so factor driving time and fuel into your plans. Compare the complete Airbnb booking price for your dates and guest count with your other accommodation options.
For families and friends, sharing a vacation rental may offer better value than booking several hotel rooms. Kitchen facilities can also help stretch the budget by giving you the option to prepare meals.
