    Great resort and time with the family
    It is impressive to look at! The building, its location, the history ... glad we went. The staff were friendly, especially the evening host who spoke to all guests about its history. The rooms are a bit basic .. a few extra touches would have elevated the room experience.

    Exceeded my expectations
    This place is incredible. I saw it online years ago and always wanted to stay, stunning location. The view across the lake when you walk in is beautiful and sitting having a drink in the lobby or lounge with that view can’t be bettered! Rooms are very quaint and I’m so pleased…

    Family's favorite hotel
    Of the five lodges we visited in Glacier/Waterton during a weeklong visit, this was my family's favorite. We booked a room as soon as reservations opened and were able to reserve the hotel's only lakefront 2-bedroom unit. It was slightly cheaper than the standard rooms,…

    Makes sure you go July-September. We went the second week in June, and many roads were closed because there was still snow on them, or they were affected by last year's fires.
    Yes, fire related. Still looking and waiting for the big dump of snow. :)
