What Our Guests Are Saying

"

We were a small group of photographers that came to photograph wildlife and wildflowers in and around Waterton. We couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation so close to Waterton Lakes. It was clean, spacious, jaw droppingly gorgeous, and the attention to details the hosts have thoughtfully provided were above and beyond my expectation. The beds were comfortable and the linens were high quality, the views from every window and large decks were breath taking. The kitchen was large and well stocked with everything we needed. The fireplace was so cozy on the cool windy evenings we happened to have. The property itself is beautiful, with wildlife wandering through. I’ll be back.

Harmony Wolgemuth

A group of 8 of us stayed at the lodge for 5 nights. The setting is fantastic with panoramic views of mountains and peaks. The food was great. The accommodations were clean and quiet. After long days of fishing we would sit on the deck, have a beverage and relax. Emma and Lucy were great hosts and fun to talk to. I would highly recommend staying here.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay in! This was chosen as a relax/detox for my husband after working 2+ months straight (and a major upgrade from his usual choice of stay). Thank you for giving him this, we hope to come back one day with our family. All the best to everyone else who gets to enjoy this amazing home with their loved ones!
