This hotel is really situated in a gorgeous location. There are lots of nice paths and trails to walk around and enjoy the scenery during your stay. While you are indoors, the hotel is a great place to be. We stayed in a one bedroom suite, which was very spacious. The extra living area is very homey and cozy and... More

Had a drink in the Glacier bar within this hotel. Didn't have a lake view with that, but we could walk around part of the lake which was lovely. Ideal for wedings / parties / celebrations or any excuse to visit really!! More

From the grand entrance, convenient shops, great restaurants, and very comfortable room, it was a great experience. Snowed all day: Skiing, Skating on the lake, show shoeing, sleigh rides. The mountains are so close - a veritable Winter Wonderland! Love it! More
