More about this place
Baker Creek Banff offers a cabin-style alternative along the Bow Valley Parkway near Lake Louise. The quieter setting is the attraction; plan meals and driving around the actual property rather than treating it as a Lake Louise village hotel.
Creekside fire pits, a gym, steam room and sauna make this a place to leave time between outings. The café offers grab-and-go food, while cabins and lodge suites have different layouts and capacities. Seasonal outdoor equipment and the ice rink depend on conditions; arrange meals and transport around the outlying Bow Valley Parkway location.
