Character, warmth, & mountain culture all under one roof. The lodge maintains an intimate yet elegant feel. Unlike some other B & Bs that you feel like you are invading someone's home, the proprietor takes care to exceed your expectations and highly respect your privacy.

I am so glad we chose the Paintbox Lodge for the last night of our trip to the Banff area. It ended our vacation on a very high note. Canmore is a lovely up-and-coming town and we were very happy we chose to spend some time there. The Paintbox Lodge was the perfect place to stay. It's located just one... more

We were slightly concerned when we arrived at the paintbox when we met Michael in the lobby area (which isn't that special) and he told us that there wasn't actually very much to do around Canmore and that for activities we'd be better off heading into Banff.
