A country inn mere steps away from charming boutiques and top-notch restaurants sounds almost too good to be true. Village Creek Country Inn, a colorful clapboard hotel set smack dab in The Village at Pigeon Lake ticks all the right boxes when looking for an affordable spot to stay in central Alberta. Here, you can soak up that casual cottage vibe without having to shell out for your own vacation property.

Fall out of bed and choose between hitting the independent shops and services in The Village or take to the walking trails that frame the cozy property. Guest Rooms at Village Creek Country Inn Oozing with charm and country kitsch, many guest rooms at Village Creek Country Inn boast fireplaces. All come equipped with a coffee station, microwave, fridge, and satellite TV.

Thoughtful touches include eye makeup remover and bath salts to make your soak in the oh-so deep tub even more relaxing. There are many room types to choose from whether you’re booking in for a couple’s getaway, family trip or corporate retreat.

With a large, private outdoor deck complete with umbrellas and BBQs, you can see why this hotel is a favorite for group stays. Even the furriest members of your family are welcome inside their pet-friendly rooms (please contact the front desk for availability). Amenities at Village Creek Country Inn Even if you don’t venture out to Pigeon Lake, you’ll still want to pack your swimsuit for a dip in the hot tub situated in the outdoor gazebo.

And don’t forget your walking shoes! You’ll find a myriad of walking trails just behind the inn.
