A great lodge with incredible views. The best part though is the owners and the employees. They are awesome. The service is top notch and they are just fun and helpful to be around.

My family and I stayed at Mt. Engadine Lodge in June for 2 nights.
We drove on a well-maintained gravel road south of Canmore for about 25 miles. We actually arrived to the Lodge after they had
just received 18 inches of snow!! June 18!!! The road had already been plowed! (Most of it melted by the end of our stay). The Lodge was incredible; the staff delightful; and the scenery breath-taking!!
Our suite was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully furnished. There was a gas log fireplace. Our daughter adored the window seat and read her books there. The front of the Lodge had a balcony/deck the entire length of the Lodge and some. It over-looked a pretty meadow below. There was a small stream meandering through the meadow. The mountains surrounded the Lodge and meadow. They were so close!! Moose entered the meadow each night. One night there were three! The meals were out of this world! Moroccan Lamb! Apple Cake! There was even a two course breakfast!! The staff were outstanding! So helpful and very knowledgeable about the area.
We will absolutely be back! If I could give Mt. Engadine Lodge a
"10" I would!!

I spent an amazing weekend on March23-25, 2007. The hosts/inkeepers Shari-Lynn & Chris Williams were top notch. The rest of their staff need to be commended as well. The hospitality, food, atmosphere, and accomodations were spectac. The snow was plentiful and lots of snow shoeing was had. The lodge had a very nice comfy at home feeling. Afternoon tea is a nice way to unwind after a hard slog on the trails. The food is plentiful and very very tasty. The staff was always approachable and readily available when you needed them. The rooms are cozy & quaint. I totally recommend the Mount Engadine Lodge for a relaxing week-end. Take the time and see what mother nature has to offer in that part of the Rockies in beautiful Alberta, Canada.

If you like to spend time in the outdoors and follow it up with a little pampering and some seriously spectacular food, then add Mount Engadine Lodge to your list of must-stay places. My teenage daughter and I spent a winter weekend here in February and it was everything we needed to return home refreshed and relaxed.

Our days started at 8 am with a buffet breakfast of fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, cereal, and oatmeal, followed by a main course -- eggs, sausages, and pancakes the weekend we were there. After breakfast we packed our own brown bag lunch from fresh ingredients including homemade bread, cookies and trail mix.

Outdoors there was a vast meadow to explore on snowshoes and three groomed cross-country trails through the forest. The best part is we didn’t have to drive anywhere to enjoy a day’s skiing. Inside, we found the bright, spacious, comfortably furnished common rooms perfect for reading, games, and sharing stories with other guests.

In the late afternoon, we enjoyed tea and snacks beside a crackling fire before a leisurely soak in the hot tub and supper at 7. Supper –such an ordinary word for such incredible food. The cook even made spinach taste fabulous. Friday -- beef tenderloin, ratatouille, rosti potatoes, beans, salad and berry cream pie. Saturday – chicken Dijon, spinach, pasta, salad and – my personal favourite – Amazon chocolate cake – absolutely to die for.

The managers and cook are welcoming and helpful. They were always ready to guide us to the right trail or cheerfully answer endless questions about the area. The lodge has several suites with private bathrooms. We stayed in a double room and shared a bathroom. While the managers say renovations are planned for the fall that will see ensuites in every room, sharing a large, spotlessly clean bathroom was not a problem.

Can’t stand the outdoors? Don’t want to be pampered? Go for the food –it’s worth it.
