We stayed in the Premier King Suite and the room was fantastic. Clean, cozy, with extremely comfortable bed and wood burning fireplace was lovely to come back to every evening. We enjoyed the lodge feel of this resort and being off the main Banff Avenue but still very close to everything.

Such a peaceful stay tucked away in the mountains. First time staying off the main drag and we were worried about accessibility however there’s a bus stop right across from the lodge. Being away from the hustle and bustle was just what we needed. We will be back.
