Northland Lodge

Top choice in Southern Alberta


On the edge of town within earshot of gushing Cameron Falls is this cozy house that Louis Hill (the genius behind the Prince of Wales Hotel) built for himself. A B&B with a wide range of quaint rooms (some with shared bath) and a creaking staircase, it's steeped in character. The welcoming host's freshly baked breakfast is fabulous.

The Danish Blue Boy and Dutch Treehouse double rooms are especially nice.
