Minnewanka Loop Vacation Packages

We travelled as family (2senior citizen and 1 4 y.o). The place was perfect for our group and our needs. The only thing that I noticed and where they can improve was the cleanliness. The place was clean and tidy but it was not “really clean” like the trash bin still has a bad smell and stain on the lid. But overall it was a very good stay and location. With amazing view! We will still consider Lodges at Canmore on our future travels.

Although a little away from the main sites, the extra drive was so worth it! To stay in such a quiet place with breathtaking views to wake up/fall asleep to - just wonderful for traveling or as home base. We can’t wait to come back!

Good place

To really get the feel of the property you need to do the Basin experience (which was great) as the hotel has only an indoor pool so no real space to lay out and relax. The hotel deserves 5 stars except for the part that it offers no privacy during the day as the lobby is full of the "lake louise" tourists which takes the element of exclusivity area. The location is phenomenal and the views are literally breathtaking.

Awesome hotel with great staff. Not to mention the views of the mountains from the room is insane. Definitely will be staying here again when revisiting Banff

Beautiful property and very comfortable stay.

It was nice!

He photos are misleading - one feels they are renting a beautiful retreat. It isn’t. The cottage is run down, with a large burn on the dining room table, holes in the sitting room ottoman, and a worn out couch that we all found incredibly uncomfortable. Lack of comfortable seating was the worst part of the stay - either one sits on the worn out couch, or the hard dining room table chairs. The interior was filled with flies - they keep landing on our heads and food. The owner’s acknowledged the flies were an issue, but she said she can’t fix the issue as she doesn’t know where they are coming in from. When we told the owner the toaster didn’t work, she assured me that it did. She said the problem was that the plug was broken, which supplied the electricity to the toaster. (Sorry for criticizing the toaster!) Guest bathroom towels are dishtowels. Getting to the dock is perilous. It’s accessed down a long exterior staircase. The railway ties that once made up the stairs have lifted and twisted over time to be become dozens of hazardous, raised tripping hazards. Getting down to the dock is not for the faint of heart. Once at the dock, access to the dock is gained by climbing over the first dock section that is covered in logs and branches, and has been distorted to a 45 degree angle, making climbing over it treacherous to say the least. There are a series of yurts and a trailer overlooking the property.
