We stayed in the cabins for 5 nights. They were so cozy. Very clean and comfortable and completely self contained so we did not use any of the other facilities. The staff for what we needed them for was always very friendly and helpful. More

We had stayed a for a few night the previous year and enjoyed it. So we thought we would stay for a longer trip. It was very disappointing. The beds were hard. It was noisy. There were dead bugs in the pool and it was an indoor pool. And the food at Bugler was bad. The meatballs were dry. The... More

This was an absolutely wonderful stay. The room was so cozy and had a very relaxing decor. The room rate was of very good value.Buglers was delicious, as per usual. Had a nice swim in the saltwater pool. The hotel service was purely exceptional and so very hospitable. You don't see that as much in this day and age, the... More

Had another enjoyable stay at this lodge in Cypress Hills. Our room was clean and comfortable. The bed could use an update but was acceptable. Have had a lot less comfortable beds in Cuba and Mexico! The swimming pool is awesome - salt water and very clean. Buglars restaurant is a bit hit and miss on some menu items but... More

Booked the Elkwater Lodge over the phone as a last minute getaway, front desk lady was nice and friendly. She even offered to book us into the restaurant for the evening as we were arriving late after a long drive. We chose the deluxe suite with the fireplace and deck, nice and big room. Dined at the Buglers dining room,... More

We decided to stop at the Elkwater Lake Lodge in early January after spending the day shopping in Havre. What a nice little spot! The rooms were actually quite spacious and extremely clean. The front desk staff were friendly and kind when we checked both in and out. We ate quickly at Buglers and were satisfied with our meals...the crab... More

Don't bother calling as they rarely answer the phone, if you leave a message no one calls you back. We had to check in late, so my uncle tried to pick up our room key for us, they would not give it to a family member for security- fine. However when we arrived our room key was in an envelope...

We should have followed our gut feeling in a review from a previous "trip advisor". Enroute to Elkwater Lake, we called to book one of their "rustic cabins". I did show some concern about the "tired" look of the cabin as shown on their website, but was assured that it had since been upgraded. When we arrived we found the... More
