Canada is a huge and beautiful country with a lot to offer. There are just so many activities you can do here, no matter which area you choose to go to. There are big cities with nice shopping districts and places to visit and smaller towns with the scenic train rides and wonders of nature. Canada is also known for its cold winters and this definitely is great news for winter sports lovers. If you are looking for an authentic Canadian experience besides the usual maple syrup and poutine, your choice of accommodation is also a key point! We have listed some awesome accommodations in this article. Read on to check out some of the best Airbnbs in Canada.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.
