Castle Mountain Chalets🏰

Creekside chalets at Castle Junction, right between Banff and Lake Louise. It feels like a little basecamp in the forest with Castle Mountain towering above. Easy access to the Parkway sights, and you get the "I could live here” vibe lol... The chalets have kitchens and fireplaces. There is also general store and gas station next door, so you can top up snacks and fuel up before leaving too.
