Overview
The Lady MacDonald Country Inn at 1201 Bow Valley Trail is one of Canmore's most cherished bed and breakfasts, named after Lady Agnes MacDonald who famously rode the cowcatcher of a CPR locomotive through the Rocky Mountains in 1886. This intimate 12-room inn offers individually decorated rooms with period furnishings, fine linens, and thoughtful personal touches. A gourmet multi-course breakfast is served each morning in the elegant dining room. The wraparound porch with mountain views invites afternoon relaxation with a cup of tea. It's a romantic, unhurried retreat that feels worlds away from the bustle of busy Banff.
