This place is really magical - a true experience of Canadian log cabin life, with a little luxury! The rooms are really well appointed, cosy and clean. The balconies over look the river and garden and are a great place to spend an evening. Whilst not located in the town centre, it's still close enough and you get a real feel for the outdoor life here.

I chose Baker Creek for the location and other reviews that I read on TripAdvisor. It was better than expected. This was my first trip to the Canadian Rockies and I had a great experience. Baker Creek is in a great location off the beaten track yet not too far from Lake Louise skiing or the nightlife and shopping of Banff. The staff of the hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful. They even have a resident cat which I find as a plus being an animal lover. I had several meals at the Chalet's Bistro and was never disappointed. I paid a little more than I initially planned in order to book this place, but I have absolutely no regrets. It was clean, quaint, and a perfect home away from home.

We stayed at Baker Creek over Thanksgiving weekend. Our one bedroom loft cabin (cabin number 2) was really lovely. Very cosy, well equipped and with a nice view out towards the creek, we had a couple of great fires both in the cabin in the wood burning stove and outside in the fire pits where my husband introduced my neice and nephew to toasted marshmallows.

My sister and her husband had been staying at Chateau Lake Louise but moved to Baker Creek for their last night after seeing our chalet and their 5 and 6 year old loved it. Lots of room for kids to run around and explore outside, much better than a hotel room!

We also thought the food in the bistro was absolutely excellent. However their chef has now moved onto a restaurant in Canmore, so I have no idea if they have kept the extremely high standard of food.

Some of the reviews mention the train noise, but i think you'll find it difficult to escape in the Rockies and it is quite atmospheric!

We'll definitely be back!

We arrived at Baker Creek having prebooked a room for 3 nights by email and telephone. On our arrival, Shannon had no record of our booking. She immediately upgraded us to a chalet - but just for 2 nights which suited us as we needed to be nearer to Calgary and had misjudged the distance. Shannon was extremely professional and extremely nice. The chalet was gorgeous - no. 1 facing the Creek. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and we loved the wood burning stove as we have one at home in the UK. All the staff we spoke to were courteous and friendly, and very helpful. We didn't sample the restaurant. We were very sad to leave, and we would highly recommend Baker Creek as a place to chill out, go for wonderful walks, see wildlife (sadly not a Moose) - especially Elk - and it is also extremely romantic. Hope we can return someday.
