Nestled in the mountains of Blue River. Nice property with walking trail to Eleanor Lake. The cabins are beautiful and staff are friendly and helpful. Going in the fall had a disengaging, the restaurant closed the week before and not all rooms have the outdoor hot tub. This is primarily catering to heli skiers so there are a number of heli pads on the property. It gets very dark at night here so the stars were bright abs beautiful. Wood burning fireplace was a bonus. Highly recommend this place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They fail to tell you that their “basic” room is not on the main property but actually in a crappy motel across the highway. They also do not tell you / advertise that in summer, the lodge facilities are effectively closed, no dining room or lounge, no hot tub or workout centre access. Totally misleading.

Liked: Staff & service
The room seemed clean, but there was an overwhelming cigarette scent. The room was small but had everything you needed. Maybe we got unlucky and got a room where there were a lot of smokers, but it just made the whole room feel a little dingy and unclean from the smell. The Saddle restaurant was really good, good sized portions and very tasty! Not sure I’d stay here again but I would stop into the restaurant for sure.
