Our stay at the Ugly Bunny was pure perfection! The home is ADORABLE, and the subtle touch of bunny decor throughout was so cute. The kitchen was fully set up for everything we needed, and the fresh bread, homemade granola, and oatmeal made for the best breakfast every morning! Walking downtown was so easy, which is exactly what we wanted since parking is not easy in downtown Banff. We will definitely be coming back to Banff in the future, and will 100% stay at the Ugly Bunny! Thank you, Caylen and Les, for the wonderful stay!

Wonderful Accommodation in Banff

The Ugly Bunny was perfect for our stay in Banff. It was very spacious, peaceful, and comfortable. It was the perfect retreat to a full day of hiking in the national parks. Caylen and Les were very welcoming! We appreciated all the treats they left for us as well. We would highly recommend staying jere.

Ideally located property just 10 mins walk to Banff Ave, everything has been thought of from slippers, plenty of kitchen appliances, cling film etc- just what’s needed for a short or long holiday. We have just stayed for 3 weeks and Caylen has changed bedding and towels so often it’s been wonderful ! Initial basics to get you started which helps and lovely surprises - a real home from home

Great base for exploring Banff

We loved our stay at the Ugly Bunny in Banff. The apartment was so comfortable it was like a home away from home. It is ideally located being just a short and easy walk from all the cafes, shops and restaurants along Banff Avenue. The apartment has been well set up by Caylen and Les and there were thoughtful kitchen inclusions of bread, butter, home made granola, yoghurt and milk plus other items. The apartment was also spotlessly clean. We particularly enjoyed the very generous proportions of the apartment, which was helpful given we had a lot of luggage. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Banff.

Perfect location to stay in Banff

Our group was lucky enough to book one night at Caylen and Les's house due to a last minute cancellation. There is a reason why it is booked solid, its in a perfect location in Banff within walking distance to downtown Banff. From the minute we pulled into the driveway Caylen and Les were there to assist us. They even had some fresh baked bread from the bakery and jam waiting for us which was great. Checkout was a breeze.

The Ugly Bunny...What a Delight!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Ugly Bunny. Caylen and Les were gracious hosts (their dog, Scruffy, was friendly, too) and gave welcome tips to help us navigate around town. Accommodation was very quiet and clean, as well as comfortable, spacious and well appointed - with thoughtful touches throughout. Main street shopping and eating are within easy walking distance. We highly recommend you consider staying here if ever visiting Banff. Make sure to ask Caylen how she settled on the name, "Ugly Bunny".

The reviews were on point!

The property was immaculate and we were welcomed with several well-appreciated amenities. It's comfortable and cozy, and a short walk down the hill to the town center. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating while being completely unobtrusive. You won't have a majestic mountain view out your window, but don't let that keep you from booking rhis gem!

Treated us better than Family.

Caylen thought of everything imaginable. I would totally stay there again. Extremely accommodating and you can tell she takes great pride in her home. It looks like a designer came in and decorated and she has updated appliances and has fresh bread and goodies. Very close to town. We were so fortunate to be close to everything we never used our car . She pours her soul into her garden. It is beautiful!

Banff lives up to the hype!

Ugly bunny guest house was just perfect for my husband and myself during our visit to Banff. Everything detail was considered — from some breakfast options in the kitchen to laundry detergent to get our clothes clean! Great meal recommendations and a very easy walk to everything we wanted to do in town made the stay AMAZING!

About the host

Hosted by Caylen and Les

Host profile image
We are Caylen and Les and we opened the Ugly Bunny Guest House in the fall of 2021. We are long term residents of Banff and have both recently retired from our office jobs. We are hoping to provide comfortable and convenient accommodation amidst the stellar beauty of Banff National Park.

Why they chose this property

The Ugly Bunny is tucked in on the side of Tunnel Mountain. We are steps away from the world renowned Banff Centre - home to an Art Gallery, Fitness Facility, Theatre and fine restaurants. The Tunnel Mountain trails are on our doorstep. This a quiet neighbourhood, with access from the laneway, but still close to the lively hustle and bustle of downtown Banff.

What makes this property unique

“We acknowledge that we are on traditional territories in Alberta of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.”
