20 Cheap Cottages To Rent With Your BFFs In Alberta This Spring
What better way to spend your May long weekend?!
After a very long, and VERY brutal winter, the weather is finally starting to warm up, the snow is almost gone, and the sunshine is sticking around until later than 7 p.m. Over the next few weeks, the world around us is going to come back alive again, and that's what makes spring the most beautiful season.

When you live in the prairies, the views in the winter can get pretty dull and hard to look at. When the seasons change though, it's a whole different story. The once boring landscape lights up with all kinds of astounding colours that make you want to spend the whole day outside.
Another great thing about spring is that it usually brings vacation, whether you just get to enjoy a long weekend here and there, or you're ready to celebrate your time off of school for the next few months, one thing you should definitely try and get done is a camping trip with your best friends! Sure, you could pitch a tent and rough it in the wild, but why would you do that when Airbnb exists?
Although no one thinks to mention it, Alberta is actually home to some seriously cool cottages and cabins that are yours to rent! Sometimes the best solution to whatever stress or problems you're facing in life is a quick break from society while camping in the woods with your crew (double props to you if you can survive the entire trip without your cellphone).
