I particularly loved the historic feel of the property – the lodge itself dates back to 1922 – which adds to its unique character.

The on-site restaurant offers delicious meals with locally sourced ingredients – think elk tenderloin to start, followed by braised Alberta short rib or pan seared West Coast halibut fillet.

Its location between Banff and Lake Louise makes it a convenient base for exploring the region. I particularly appreciated kicking back on the patio and taking the Storm Mountain view, especially at sunset.
