However, I unfortunately have to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the negative experience I had with the shuttle driver lady. I was sitting in the back next to a staff member and asking her about recommendations, we were having a lovely conversation, and the bus driver called us out in front of the group to tell us to be quiet and stop our side conversation, and scolded us again after the ride was over. This was the only bad experience we had while there, but sadly it was memorable.

We stayed 3 nights in a private cabin at the end of June as part of our honeymoon at Heather…read moreMountain Lodge. It was opening weekend for the summer season for the Lodge and Restaurant. The cabin (cabin 2) has a wood-burning fireplace, hot tub (use with doors and windows open for full effect), and an extremely comfortable medium-firmness california king bed (my wife prefers a soft mattress and I prefer firm, so medium is as happy as we can find). The views of the mountains in the morning and evenings are truly magical, especially after a day spent doing mountain activities in Glacier National Park. We ate 3 meals at the restaurant. 2 dinners and a breakfast. The service was exceptional, and I wish I lived closer to the food! I had the most inspired charcuterie plate that I've ever had, my wife was extremely impressed with the gluten free bread for her sandwiches, and do not pass on the creamy leeks with baked eggs and maple bacon! I wish this place was in Chicago. Oh, and if you are a beer snob like me, you have to try Mt. Begbie's Cream Ale if they have it.... All the staff are extremely accommodating and ready to help you find things to do between the best meals you'll have in Canada.

The lodge is simple, but has tastefully appointed rooms with most amenities. The view is stellar, and it was great sitting on the adirondack chairs, or hanging out in the hot tub when the sun goes down facing the beautiful mountains. The staff were EXTREMELY friendly and knowledgable about all the questions we had about the hikes, and activities in the surrounding area. Breakfast was included, and was all local or used food grown in the hotel's garden. My only gripe is, there are no fridges, and you either have to drive to Golden or Revelstoke to eat, otherwise it has to be the food at the hotel restaurant, which isn't cheap. They serve it buffet. Breakfast is $15, lunch $20 and dinner $23. we brought our own snacks, but ate at the hotel twice outside of bfast and then in Revelstoke for the other meals. This hotel is gorgeous in summer and has so many places nearby to hike, and horseback ride, as well as is a heli-skiing heaven. I'd definitely go back. Apparently they have wedding here all the time, we saw one taking place and it was absolutely stunning.

Location, location, location! The Lodge at Lake O'Hara is at a spot that many artists consider the…read morejewel of the Rockies. With humble, but clean accommodations in vintage log cabins, panabodes or the lodge guest rooms, this is a place to enjoy pristine sub-alpine and alpine beauty. Totally off grid (no internet, room phone, or cell coverage), no fancy trimmings like spas or night life, this is where to come for unpretentious mountain hiking and scenery. But beyond location, location, location, hosts Bruce and Allison, as well as David, Amanda and the rest of the staff provide exceptional hospitality and dining (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner in the lodge) and lunch bags for refuelling on the trails. This is a special place. You need to apply in the fall for a spot on the invitation list for the following summer. If you get an opportunity to go, take it. I'd recommend going in on the morning transport, leaving on the afternoon transport. You park near Hwy 1 between Field, BC and Lake Louise, AB, and take the Lodge shuttle up 11 km to Lake O'Hara. That may mean staying some place else not to far away to 'stage' your visit. The Lodge at Lake O'Hara is very exclusive, not just because the high cost per day, but the number of people who can access this part of Yoho National Park is very limited. Be prepared for variable weather, take good hiking footwear, and lots of capacity on your photo memory card! Also hydrate well, due to the elevation and the elevation changes on some of the trails.

You must be a very experienced skier/snowshoer just to reach the Lake O'Hara Lodge and enjoy it in…read morethe winter! The trip up to the lodge, on a narrow, one lane road, is 11 km (7.2 miles) long, ascending 578 m (1900 ft) up a steady 13 per cent grade to an altitude of 2025 m (6650 ft). At a minimum, skiers need wide, metal-edged backcountry skis (described as "light touring" locally) with skins. The trip from parking lot to lodge took us, experienced xc skiers, over 4 hours. Once at the lodge, the food is terrific and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The terrain from the lodge is too difficult for touring skis, due to the steep trail pitches, and is suitable only for alpine backcountry skis or snowshoes. The rerun trip to the parking lot may be the most challenging aspect of the trip, particularly on touring skis. The trail, c. 2 m (6 ft) between ski tracks is extremely narrow for the steep, continuous 11 km descent and is one approachable by strong, very experienced skiers, particularly with backpacks attached. If you need outsiders to get in touch with you while you are away or vice versa, Lake O'Hara Lodge is NOT for you. There is very limited phone service and no wifi (the front desk has a computer but not for public use). Cell phone coverage is nil. If no one answers the desk lodge phone, it is not possible to leave a phone message to staff or guests because the Lodge does not have a voice message machine or service, nor email address. The telephone hours at the desk are very limited, 9-3 Monday thru Thursday, not including holidays. If one needs to get in touch with any staff member or guest between Thursday at 3 PM until the following Monday morning, it is not possible. There is only a general emergency number for Canadian Parks. Be sure to bear all this in mind before booking a trip. The views are unsurpassed and the lodge experience is very tranquil and friendly. Just be very careful getting to and from there in the winter!

Found the housekeeping did well at first sight and closer look at closet window etc it was Bed is medium soft so we didn't mind. And the pillows case had stitched in ( soft hard ) nice touch Though both rooms we felt it was a bit colder, even though we spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to get the furnace to blow warm air. After at least 10 minutes in both rooms we gave up. First night we went into the hot tub and pool area ( hot tub wasn't extremely hot 40 c more like 30, no way to adjust the temperature and the jets were not that powerful). But still nice enough to soak in. The pool was nice though . The breakfast Continental was extreme there was ( pancake, omelette, sausage, potatoes, cold cereal, oatmeal, toast, bagels, yogurt, juice's coffee teas, cinnamon buns fruit hard boiled cold eggs ) wow !!

Our rooms was nice and clean, we had a great view of the mountains. I loved opening the drapes every morning to get that view. The front desk person was friendly and helpful. We had no issues and the place was completely full. The complimentary breakfast was good. Scrambled eggs, omelettes, turkey sausage patties or pork links, and various fruit. The fruit was always plentiful. They also had cinnamon buns, yogurt, boiled eggs, a pancake machine, oatmeal and the list goes on. The breakfast area although busy was kept clean and stocked. Coffee was always fresh and no line up when I went to get breakfast or coffee. In general this was a clean hotel. The only thing I have a suggestion on, is there's a sign in the room saying if you don't want new towels keep them hung up, if you want them replaced throw them on the floor. Well we always hung ours up and they gave us fresh ones each time. We did discuss it with the front desk to which they only said "ok thanks". That's my only suggestion if I don't want a new towel don't give me one please. I would stay here again. The price was right as well. We paid $800 for the 3 nights.

I called Pestige Inn to request for a cancellation, and they were not willing to help. My reservation says pay at hotel. Since we never checked in, they still charged my credit card for the one night stay that never happened. We called Expedia for help and this hotel refused to offer a refund. If you're traveling from Banff or Jasper to this hotel on hwy 1, make sure to check road conditions. Apparently, hwy 1 to Golden closes at 10pm every night and they do not warn you up ahead. When you call the hotel, they will not inform you either. It had left a lot of people stranded.

Immediately when we walked in we were warmly welcomed by Doris and her husband. They gave us suggestions of what to do and what activities are fun in the area. Our room was just right. We had two bedrooms and a living room with a fold out couch bed. A bathroom and a small kitchen. Outside, there was a small deck with a table and a barbecue with a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. The food here is absolutely outstanding! It was all fresh, home made, and delicious! The breakfast was amazing. We were obsessed with the homemade oatmeal pancakes. We also came here for dinner and got the schnitzel. The schnitzel was by far and away the great schnitzel i've ever had. We definitely had a great stay here and I highly recommend staying here if you plan on coming to Golden. Summer or Winter.
