We had such a lovely stay. The room was beautiful, probably the best I've ever stayed in, and so cosy with the fireplace. Everything was so clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The views from the lodge are stunning, and we made sure to take a dip in the hot tub. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a luxury stay.

This was our favourite hotel we stayed at while on our honeymoon travelling from Ontario. Room was very cozy and clean, bathroom was HUGE with a walk in shower and big tub. The price was impressive considering surrounding other properties. Staff was very friendly and helpful . We had breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was equally impressive. 100% would stay here again and recommend!

I loved the room! It was so cute and cozy and was so much better than a regular hotel room. I didn't like that the hot tub was down all day one of the days and it was our coldest day so we really wanted to go in the hot tub. It did finally open at 7:30pm, but we really wanted to go in after a long day of hiking before our dinner plans. Parking was also hard to find some nights when we came back from dinner. We always found a spot but usually had to walk pretty far back to our place.
