Sicamous is known as the houseboat capital of Canada. It is home to spectacularly beautiful lake life surrounded by mountains. It is an incredibly popular destination in the summer, especially for Calgary residents looking to get away from the city. As a result of its summer popularity, the council has elected to strictly regulate short term rentals in the town. Unfortunately for those looking to invest in the area in a short term rental business, many of these regulations make it difficult to operate profitably, if at all.
