The Challenges Hosts Face in Windermere—and How We Tackle Them
Owning a place in Windermere is about more than having a getaway—it’s about mornings on the dock, evenings by the fire, and weekends that actually feel like weekends. But keeping a vacation property running smoothly from the city can be a challenge. Between changing rental rules, seasonal demand swings, and the need to keep guests happy year-round, it takes time and attention to do it right.
At Aisling Baile, we handle it all so you don’t have to. From licensing and guest communication to pricing, cleaning, and maintenance, our team takes care of every detail with local know-how and genuine care.
The result? A stress-free investment that fits your lifestyle. You get to enjoy your

Windermere Market Insights
Windermere has long been a favourite escape for Albertans—a place where lake days, mountain views, and small-town charm come together. As more visitors discover its year-round appeal, the demand for well-managed vacation rentals continues to grow.
Owning a property here is about more than great views—it’s about understanding how to navigate seasonal demand, community expectations, and changing short-term rental rules.
With the right local management, your Windermere getaway can be both a place to unwind and a dependable investment—earning steady returns while fitting naturally into the relaxed rhythm of lake life.
Occupancy Rates & Seasonal Trends
Summer Highs
Occupancy peaks in July and remains high through to early September, with nightly rates up to double those of other seasons.
Alberta Escapes
Spring and fall are the ultimate seasons for Calgarians looking to sneak in one last golf trip or hike. Strategic marketing & pricing can maintain a consistent occupancy rate.
Winter Patterns
The colder months bring in those looking for a true mountain getaway—skiing, skating, Christmas markets... It's the true Hallmark experience.
Shoulder Seasons
March, April, October, and November tend to dip, requiring smart pricing and targeted marketing to maintain occupancy.
Event Impact (Bonspiel on the Lake, Mountain Music Bash & More)
Each winter, the Bonspiel on the Lake transforms Lake Windermere into one of Canada’s most unique curling venues, drawing teams and spectators from across the province. In summer, Mountain Home Productions puts on a concert (this year was the Mountain Music Bash), which fills the lakeshore with live music, artisan vendors, and a vibrant festival atmosphere that celebrates the best of mountain-lake living.
For property owners, these peak periods create exceptional opportunities. With the right pricing and booking strategy, your Windermere retreat can achieve higher occupancy and stronger returns—while offering guests an authentic, high-end Columbia Valley experience they’ll want to return to year after year.
Revenue Potential by Property Type
Detached/Single-Family Homes
Popular with families & groups; steady occupancy across the year, premium rates during seasonal demands.
Townhouses
Strong appeal to leisure travellers; lower upkeep to a larger house, but more comfortable than a condo.
Condos/Apartments
With very few in the area, condos are hard to come by but are very desirable for couples and small families.
Luxury Homes
High earning potential when positioned for executive rentals or large group accommodations.
Compliance & Regulatory Factors
Operating in Windermere requires a provincial registration number. Some properties also require a temporary use permit (TUP).
Provincial Registration Required
All STR operators must apply for a BC Provincial Registration number, renewed annually.
Temporary Use Permits (TUPs)
Certain properties in Windermere require a temporary use permit (TUP), which is valid for up to three years.
We can apply and renew your provincial registration for you, acting as your property manager, so you don't have to deal with any step of the process.
Insurance Gaps
Airbnb’s AirCover doesn’t fully replace proper insurance — we help owners review and secure adequate coverage.
Seasonality Pricing Strategy
Our approach blends dynamic pricing software with local market expertise:
Summer Strategy
Adjust nightly rates upward, set minimum stays, and optimize release windows to capture premium bookings.
Alberta Escapes
Highlight relaxing amenities (smaller crowds, changing landscapes, cozy fireplaces, etc.) and optimize for weekday occupancy.
Winter Readiness
Market properties as Rocky Mountain or ski trip bases with access to the Whiteway; bundle weekend packages to maximize bookings.
Shoulder Months
Offer discounts for longer stays, promote pet-friendly listings, and target remote or seasonal workers seeking affordable monthly options.
At Aisling Baile, we understand that Windermere moves with the rhythm of the seasons—each bringing its own kind of magic. From sunny lake days and family barbecues to crisp autumn weekends and quiet winter getaways, we manage your property with year-round care and strategy.
Our goal is simple: to keep your
Windermere retreat
welcoming, well-maintained, and earning a steady income in every season—not just the summer rush.
