Excellent Hospitality and Beautiful quiet, clean with Great Breakfast!!
When booking do confirm if your downstairs or upstairs if you prefer mountain views, go upstairs!!! Fab Place 100% recommended for a couple rendezvous!!
This is a lovely hotel, with a mountain lodge feel. We had a lovely stay, played some games, and had a great sleep. 20 years ago we were married Here. It is still spectacular!
What a gem this place is! The breakfast was sooo good and our room was very comfortable. Enjoyed chatting with the owner to get those tips about visiting Banff. We would definitely stay here again!
The room was good. Only problem was that it was switched at the last min. We were told we would be on the main level with access to the outside from our room. Other than that it was absolutely amazing. The breakfast all three days were amazing and delicious. And the staff were super friendly.
Fantastic day for the last night of our honeymoon. The property was beautiful. The room gorgeous. Yet cozy. And breakfast was delicious. A delightful treat to end our trip.

This property was wonderful. We had a real the hot tub, and breakfast was served to us in our room, and it was outstanding. The best of the stays that we had throughout our trip highly recommend this.
In a quiet location with view of the mountains. Love the quaint lodge decor and that each room has a patio or balcony. They also served an amazing home cooked breakfast delivered right to our room.
Will be back next time we visit Canmore !
Everything was amazing. The setting, the people, the food, the staff.
Its a very rustic setting but peaceful, quite and serene.
Great jacuzzi, fireplace. Staff was very friendly and kind
The perfect middle ground between larger format hotels, and very expensive air-b&b options
Check in staff were excellent. Accommodated a late check in, and were friendly and helpful. The building and the grounds are beautifully up-kept. The design of the room is a little awkward with the shower in the middle of the living space, but that’s the only thing. Hot tub area is private, and super clean too.
I like how quiet and off the main road it was. Super beautiful building very privet area had a really nice room a lovley patio. Every time we wanted to use the hot tub it was empty that was a bonus for us...
The breakfasts were very delicious we really enjoyed out visit
