Finding the perfect place to stay can make or break a vacation – especially with kids! Over the years we’ve stayed in castles and cabins, campgrounds with pool, and hotels with waterparks so fun the kids didn’t want to leave.
Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly basics, something a little magical, or the best spots to pitch your tent, we’ve gathered all our Alberta Mamas accommodation posts into one easy round up.
These are places we’ve loved, the ones our kids still talk about, and the ones we recommend when friends ask where to stay for their next Alberta adventure.
