Due to its privileged location, personalized service and spacious rooms, El Mirador de Guadal is the ideal lodge for you to discover the southern part of the Carretera Austral. Situated on the southern border of Lake General Carrera. All our rooms have a unique view of the turquoise waters of the lake and the glaciers of the Northern Ice Field. Famous natural resources like The Marble Caves, The Exploradores Valley and The Patagonia National Park in the Chacabuco Valley are all about an hour drive away. Being a small lodge we take pride in offering personalized attention, making your stay with us unforgettable.
What a location! There are numerous stunning locations on Lago General Carrera but this takes some beating. Super friendly welcome from Stefan and Caroline, the owners and a spcious, cute and relaxing cabin with endless views. The food is excellent and the staff as welcoming as the owners.

From the minute we made the reservation, the owner of the hotel contacted us to ask us about food restrictions and thus be able to receive us perfectly. The spectacular food, the very well done dishes and the very varied and filling breakfast (especially for daily outdoor activities). The rooms are super spacious with an excellent unobstructed view of Lake General Carrera, each with a forest that the facilities team is responsible for loading with dry firewood on a daily basis. The beds are hotel line, large and very comfortable (if you are looking to rest after a day of activities they are perfect). Cleaning is daily with replacement of towels and amenities. There are several activities that the hotel can coordinate and they are extremely quick to manage absolutely everything that the lake has to offer (from tours of the marble chapels, to jetboats upstream to see the snowdrifts). Spectacular for all types of trips given the versatility of the hotel. From trips for one person, couples, groups of friends or large family trips. 100% recommended Desde el minuto en que hicimos la reserva la dueña del hotel nos contacto para preguntarnos restricciones alimentarias y así poder recibirnos perfectamente. La comida espectacular, los platos muy bien logrados y el desayuno muy variado y contundente (especial para las actividades outdoor diarias). Las habitaciones son súper amplias con una excelente vista despejada al Lago General Carrera, cada una con una bosca que diariamente el equipo de facilities se encarga de cargar con leña seca. Las camas son de linea hotelera, grandes y muy comodas (si buscas descansar después de un día de actividades están perfectas). La limpieza es diaria con reposición de toallas y amenities. Hay varias actividades que el hotel puede coordinar y son sumamente rápidos para gestionar absolutamente todo lo que el lago ofrece (desde tours por las capillas de marmol, hasta jetboats rio arriba para ver los ventisqueros). Espectacular para todo tipo de viajes dada la versatilidad del hotel. Desde viajes para una persona, parejas , grupos de amigos o grandes viajes familiares. 100% recomendado…

Together with 3 other friends we enjoyed the fantastic hospitality of Carolina and Stephan. From the moment we arrived until the last minute we spent there, we felt welcomed and looked after. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, the beds are excellent and the views breathtaking... but what truly stands out are all the personal touches provided by the owners and how much they cared about our experience. Last but definitely not least, the food in the lodge's restaurant is great. Stephan is a fantastic chef and we enjoyed every single dinner we had there (especially the BBQs!) Thank you so much, and we hope to come back soon.

It was a joy to wake up in this spot each morning. Each "room" was a spacious bungalow with a view of the lake and snow capped mountains. We could lay in bed and watch the sun start to shine on the mountains each morning. Just beautiful. And the family that owns and operates the place were so helpful with suggestions for activities. Meals were delicious. Just not crazy about the walk up the hill to the dining area. Not handicap accessible.

If your idea of paradise is being surrounded by beauty in a lovely cabana with gracious and caring hosts, and good food to boot, El Mirador de Guadal is the answer to your dreams. We were lucky to get a reservation at the last minute and Stephan and Carolina were incredibly helpful, even before we arrived, in making plans, including excursions, for our stay. The food was very good and they were flexible in accommodating dietary restrictions. Often in Chile the landscape is spectacular. Even the accommodations are excellent. At the Mirador, it all came together to create an experience that felt both spectacularly beautiful and warmly human.

We had dinner here one night and were impressed by the professionalism of the place. The Dutch owners made sure to greet us with a tasty, homemade Pisco sour and a smile. All staff were kind and helpful, relaxed and with time for a chat. The food was of equally high quality, starters, main courses as well as desserts - even though they had difficulties coming up with a decent cheese platter as this was not on the menu. We later during our trip along the Carretera Austral met others who had stayed in one of the cabins and praised the luxury and view over the Lago General Carrera to the glaciers of the Northern Ice field.

If you look out of the front window which stretches the length of your room and fail to be impressed you are either dead from the neck up or one spoilt bastard. Lake, mountains, snowy peaks and well tended grounds make for a perfect visual experience to drink in from your sofa on the porch of your room. The food is beautifully cooked and they'll change it if you don't like any of the options on offer. The drinks are very cheap considering the quality of the establishment. They are very cheap compared to drinking out in Chile generally in places that have nothing like the views this place has to offer. Two bottles of beer - £5. Bottle of absolutely lovely cava - £12. The owners and staff are so friendly and totally focused on making sure you enjoy your stay. They have an extensive knowledge of the local area and what it has to offer. So far this is easily the best place we've stayed in over the last three weeks in Chile. Beds are massive, soft and lovely. The wood burning stove adds a touch of cosiness in the evenings and, of course, it is all cleaned up and set up for you the next day if you are staying more than one night.…

Response from Stefan V, Propietario at El Mirador de Guadal
Responded Dec 18, 2019
Dear Marc, thank you very much for this kind and detailed feedback on your stay at our lodge. From the moment we bought the lot where we built our lodge, we felt it was too beautiful to keep it just to ourselves. Then, the challenge was to get all the services, such as the rooms, restaurant, activities and personal attention, in as much harmony as possible with the beauty of the surroundings. Reading you feedback gives us the feeling we are indeed on the right track and keeps all of us tremendously motivated. Best regards, Stefan

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Great enormous luxurious cabins with the most beautiful views over the lago carrera general. The owners stefan and Carolina were do lovely and helpful as were all of the people working there. The food was great and they even put up with my fussy food likes and dislikes. They do guided walks and do absolutely everything to make sure guests are happy. Our favourite place by far along the carretera. We were sad to leave.
