Booking tips

Summer weekends book out early, especially anything within walking distance of Lakeshore Drive, and lakefront pay parking runs $5–$10 an hour or $50 a day from May to October, so a room you can walk from is worth more than it looks (Town of Sylvan Lake — Lakeshore parking map). Winter is the quiet season and the lake still has plenty going on: see winter in Sylvan Lake. All fourteen listings, with addresses and phone numbers, are in hotels and accommodations.
