Airbnb Management in Harvie Heights, AB
Alberta's highest-occupancy STR market. Five minutes from Canmore.
Harvie Heights is a hamlet at the gates of Banff National Park, five minutes west of Canmore on the Trans-Canada Highway. It's a small community of roughly 178 active short-term rental properties (AirDNA, 2025) and it produces some of the strongest per-listing economics in Canada. The average Harvie Heights listing generates approximately $57,300 in median annual revenue at a $255 nightly rate and 63.1% occupancy — the highest sustained occupancy of any market in Alberta. Mountain proximity, park access, and quieter pricing dynamics than Canmore proper combine to make it a uniquely strong investment market. ThreeBNB manages Harvie Heights properties through our Canmore operations team — same crews, same software, same response times.
“I was getting $1,900 a month renting long-term. ThreeBNB showed me a projection of $3,400. The first deposit hit and I haven’t looked back.”

Harvie Heights
at a glance.
Harvie Heights is a hamlet in the MD of Bighorn No. 8, Alberta, sitting on the Trans-Canada Highway five minutes west of Canmore and directly at the eastern gate of Banff National Park. Population is small — roughly 200 year-round residents — but the community's vacation-rental footprint is disproportionate to its size, with approximately 178 active short-term rental listings according to AirDNA's 2025 market data.
The market's defining feature is occupancy. At 63.1% on a trailing-twelve-month basis, Harvie Heights produces the highest sustained occupancy of any short-term rental market in Alberta — higher than Canmore proper, higher than Banff townsite (which has a hard cap on STRs), and higher than every other resort and recreation market in the province. The combination of national-park gateway positioning, a smaller listing base than Canmore, and a deliberately lower nightly rate ($255 vs Canmore's $295) keeps inventory moving year-round.
Median annual revenue is approximately $57,299 per listing per AirDNA, with top-quartile properties earning $5,771+ per month and top-decile properties earning $8,338+ per month. Year-over-year revenue growth was 26.3% in 2025, driven by both inventory tightening (Banff townsite is fully booked) and rate growth.
The regulatory environment in the MD of Bighorn is materially lighter than in the Town of Canmore. Most properties qualify for STR operation under existing residential or commercial designations without permit caps, which is the opposite of the situation in Canmore where the council has tightened STR rules over multiple years. ThreeBNB reviews the specific land use designation for each property as part of onboarding.
ThreeBNB manages Harvie Heights properties through our Canmore operations team. Cleanings, maintenance, check-ins, and emergency response are all dispatched out of Canmore — five minutes away on the highway.

Management fee is 15% of gross monthly revenue, all-in, with no setup fees or markups.

management FAQ.
Why is Harvie Heights so strong as an Airbnb market?
Three things converge: it sits directly at the Banff National Park gate, it's quieter and more residential than Canmore so guests choosing it are choosing it deliberately, and it has a smaller listing base than Canmore so individual properties don't get drowned in the search results. The result is the highest sustained occupancy rate of any Alberta market — 63.1% on the year — at a premium nightly rate of $255.
