4.94 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsCute Entire Home for 1-2 + pet in Kensington,YYC.
Great place. It was a staycation for me, kind of. Needed to get out of my own place for awhile to get some work done. Great neighbourhood. Close to everything you need, restaurants, shopping, river,... Highly recommended.

The host were amazing! They responded very fast and they accommodate us for an early check-in. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. We slept very good and warm once we figure how to use the thermostat. I will recommended again. ☺️

Home in Calgary
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsNew 4-Bedroom Home in Rockland Park
Our holiday included 9 of us, of which 4 were children under 10. The property itself was plenty big enough and very well stocked of supplies (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, washing up liquid, clothing washing stuff, dishwasher tablets, bin bags etc). The property is NW Calgary so absolutely perfect for exploring The Rockies. We did Canmore and Banff which are both breath takingly beautiful!!!! The property is on a lake community which is still under construction, but this did not affect our stay. The play area for the children is within 3mins walk of Bella's property, which we used almost daily! There are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, retail parks within a short drive away! I had a lot of questions for Bella prior to our arrival and she always replied very promptly and was beyond helpful! A 5* Air bnb host!!!!

Home in Northeast Calgary
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviews3 mins to downtown, Full house with central AC
My family loved staying in this Airbnb for my cousin’s wedding. There was plenty of space for 8 adults, and we loved having 2 living rooms and 3 separate full bathrooms, which made getting ready for the weekend’s events so much easier. My family kept remarking about how clean the place was; it was one of the cleanest Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in which helped us settle in right away. Great location that’s close to downtown and makes it fast to get to other spots. Hosts were friendly and considerate, they even warned us before we arrived that the weather was going to be colder than expected for one night so told us where to get warmer comforters. All the rooms were cozy and decently sized. King bed was very squishy so firm-mattress lovers be warned but I thought it was fine for 3 nights.

Home in Southeast Calgary
5 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviewsInviting McKenzie Lake Retreat
We had a wonderful stay! We were a large group, in town for a family wedding, and this house was the perfect solution for us. The space was large, open, clean, and in a stunning neighbourhood with lots of walking paths and play structures - which was KEY since we were travelling with 4 kids. The house was stocked with cleaning supplies, paper towel, coffee and tea, that made our stay comfortable and easy to navigate. Beds were comfortable, lots of space for parking vehicles, instructions were clear and simple, and the hot tub was a bonus! We would definitely recommend staying here if you have a large group, or even if you just all want your own space. A great price, and so much more comfortable and flexible than a hotel. We were able to check in a bit early, which was not expected, was SO generous, and MUCH appreciated since we landed earlier in the day and were travelling with children. Thank you!

Your guide to Calgary
All About Calgary
The former frontier city of Calgary is set on the western edge of the prairie regions at the base of the great Canadian Rocky Mountains. This once-booming cattle ranching hub was founded as a frontier fort before going through many changes of identity. It now serves as a major metropolitan area, cultural center, and economic hub for Alberta. Despite its relatively young age, Calgary has a rich history — ranching, cowboys, and Indigenous cultures are integral parts of day-to-day life here, along with events throughout the year, from the Calgary Folk Music Festival to Aboriginal history tours and music festivals.
From the sun-drenched summer months to cozy, snow-filled winters, this gateway to Western Canada offers hundreds of miles of urban park trails and ski runs, and even surfing on the Bow River, which runs right through downtown. The buzzing Beltline district is home to bars aplenty, and you can shop for vintage vinyl and linger over coffee in tight-knit Kensington.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Calgary
Calgary’s temperature and weather variations swing drastically with the seasons. Winter is the most popular time to head to a vacation rental in Calgary to make the most of its skiing. The winter months see temperatures drop well below freezing, with lots of accompanying snowfall. The colder months bring pristine skiing and snowboarding conditions to the surrounding mountain communities and ski hills. February brings a free, interactive lights and music event for all ages that spreads throughout the downtown core with art displays, food trucks, and more. During the summer, the area sees moderate temperatures and long, warm nights full of festivals and events. August’s famous fireworks display is a coordinated musical event orchestrated by world-class pyrotechnic artists from across the globe.
Top things to do in Calgary
Prince’s Island Park
Surrounded by the Bow River, Prince’s Island Park offers around 50 acres of peaceful pathways right in the heart of the city. You can enjoy barbecues and lively music festivals in the summer and wrap up warm to join the locals ice skating on the outdoor rink in winter. The 1.7-mile Prince’s Island Loop traces the bank of the river, where you can strap on roller blades, hop on a bike, or take a relaxing stroll and watch mallards bobbing around in the river.
Heritage Park Historical Village
A 15-minute drive outside of downtown Calgary, Heritage Park Historical Village sits on the bank of the Glenmore Reservoir. This immersive, village-sized museum recreates life on the Alberta prairie lands in the 19th century. A First Nations encampment, trading fort, and paddle steamer are featured on-site, and you can ride an antique steam train that winds around the park.
Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park
Around an hour east of the city, Blackfoot Crossing is a National Historic site — this is where Chief Crowfoot and other Indigenous leaders signed the Treaty 7 in 1877, which established the Siksika reservation. The centerpiece is an environmentally-friendly building inspired by First Nations headdresses and tipis. Members of the Siksika/Blackfoot Nation perform traditional dances in its 100-seat theater, and you can sample time-honored fry bread at the onsite restaurant with commanding views across the prairie.
