Detailed Reviews
My husband and I stayed at the Heartwood Inn for one night and it was the perfect place to lay out heads after exploring the area in and around Drumheller. We stayed in the Cottage and the accommodations were excellent. The antique furniture mixed with a large Jacuzzi tub made for a relaxing stay. Zeke have us suggestions as to where to visit in the area. The room was clean and we felt safe staying there during Covid. Thank you for making our visit so wonderful!

Thank you Alison for your positive review. We are putting all our efforts this year into the interiors, clean clean clean is all we can promise. We are also looking to add UV-C disinfecting light to add that extra layer of safety for our guests. Patrice Wolf mgr

We absolutely loved our stay at the Heartwood Inn! We stayed in the Honeymoon cabin and could not have asked for a better spot. It was very quiet, comfortable and clean. The Heartwood was also easy to walk to the spots we were interested in (would absolutely recommend Valley Brewing!), as well as easy to get to places a bit outside of town like the Hoodoos and Horseshoe Canyon. Patrice and Zeke were very kind, and the grounds made for a lovely area to have dinner as there is lots of comfortable seating, Thank you for having us!

Thanks Sarah, what a great review. And yes, the Valley Brewing is a huge plus for Drumheller, they have an outdoor patio that is family and pet friendly. Gotta love that! We appreciate you choosing the Heartwood, our motto this year (and every year) is squeaky clean. Cheers, Patrice Wolf mgr

We came to Drumheller because of a family emergency and found this Inn late on a Friday night when several other hotels were full due to an event. The owner assured us there was room & gave us directions to get there. He showed us into the suite & informed us to use the outer door as the lobby was closed to keep viral transmission down during the pandemic. The suite was very comfortable & just felt like home. Outside the door was a nice sitting place with a small table & chairs. The best part of the experience though were the owners/managers. They were empathetic to our plight & went out of their way to ensure we had a good experience. We will definitely stay there again if we're back in town. Highly recommended!

We booked at the Heartland as I was looking for the option to cook and have a bit more space. While Zek was very friendly and accommodating, the pictures online do not accurately represent the quality of the lodgings. The first thing I noticed was the disrepair of the main building. The paint is chipping off and the windows on the chancel need to be replaced.
Inside, the space was dated and requires a fresh coat of paint as well. The blinds were difficult to use and only 2 had the spiny things to shut them at night. Some of the furniture pieces have great character but mostly the overall feel is that the place is run down and needs a really good thorough cleaning and all inside amenities to be upgraded. For example, if you are charging over $300/night, silverware that isn't tarnished would be a good start. Overall, it was a disappointment and had there been other accommodations available, we would have packed up and moved.
I get what they are going for (quaint and cozy) but it missed its mark.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at the Heartwood. An 80 year old guesthouse (sleeps 6) isn't everyone's cup of tea. The fact that it is upgraded with oversized jetted tub/shower, double sided fireplace, Broil King bbq, whole house a/c, dishwasher etc... usually gets rave reviews. The silverware has all been updated thanks to your review, hard water stained flatware is now in my kitchen - seems to work just fine.

Highly recommended! We reserved the Upper Turret Room which features a king sized bed, fireplace, and a 4-piece bathroom with a double sized whirlpool tub. It was a hot weekend and the air conditioning kept us perfectly cool, the bed was super comfortable and it was quiet. There’s a bar fridge and the room comes with all the necessary toiletries. The new owners of the inn are great. Everything is neat and clean and they welcomed us with a plate of cookies and some water and juice. In the mornings there are multiple kinds of coffee, some granola bars, homemade muffins or oatmeal if you prefer. It’s a good location, on a quiet street, walking a distance to restaurants & pubs, only a few minute drive away from the Badlands Amphitheatre (oh my gosh, was a stunning venue, if you haven’t been here you must come) and 12 minutes from a VERY challenging golf course. This was our second stay at the Heartwood and we will definitely be back.

Best place to stay in Drumheller. The owners are THE sweetest people who know how to make you feel welcome. Bed is the best towels the whitest, fireplace, private entry and the breakfast is worth purchasing it was so delicious 5 different fruits, juice, Saskatoon berry stuffed French toast. Rooms are spacious and have everything! Coffee and snacks always available. Loved this B&B

The place has a lot of potential but unfortunately it was a miss for me. The sheets and bedding were nice quality, the bathroom was nicely updated and had some nice touches such as complimentary razors. The shower was heavenly!!!!
The downside was the furniture is straight from a thrift store, the window AC was scabbed in, the room has old carpet which is not acceptable. There is no coffee machine in the room, the bar fridge sat on plywood. We got a text from the front desk asking us not to smoke cigarettes in the room as people were complaining. We don’t smoke! It was unnecessary to single us out and I feel like they could have done more due diligence in finding the source of cigarette smoke.

We spent two nights here in the upper turret room. I requested the romance package as a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday. He was blown away at the thoughtful touches. As someone who has worked in the hotel industry for a few decades he says it was the most unique experience within a few hours of Calgary. Covid has halted our travels but we were very comfortable here knowing Heartwood had taken all precautions possible to ensure a safe visit for us.
We were well taken care of.

Ah Katrina, you made me cry.... What a lovely review. Here's what we do (and always have done). All bedding is removed and laundered between guests. There are no throws, quilts, comforters, or decorative pillows left in the room - everything is freshly laundered. After our world class housekeeping staff has finished cleaning the room we have added a UV-light designed and manufactured by Lind Equipment out of Markham Ontario. that kills covid and other nasty things as well as dust mites (which is why we will continue to use the UV-Lights long after Covid is gone). We also have contactless check in /out. We provide sani wipes and sprays so guests can re- sanitize remotes etc during their stay. We have had to discontinue our famous french toast breakfast as our dining room is too small for social distancing but as you can attest, we do provide complimentary coffee service. Thank you again and I hope you'll come back for another getaway soon. Patrice Wolf owner

We had the pleasure to stay in the honeymoon cottage and loved it. Nice and quiet and away from everyone. Wonderful alternative to a basic hotel. Too hot to enjoy the soaker tub but the rain shower was great!
Definitely worth a visit!

This was our second stay at Heartwood. As before the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the cottage and it was very comfortable and private. A perfect place to explore Drumheller and the surrounding parks, museum, and town. We missed the breakfast this time as it was not an option, but the recommendations for local restaurants were very good.

Hi Wyatt, thanks for your question. Our rooms all vary in size, the Hiker is the smallest aprox 130 square feet. But each room is unique and some are 2 bedrooms. Please call us anytime and we'lll find the right room for you.
Thank you for your inquiry, I have our Vacation Bungalow - a lovely old miners house available for $265 plus taxes for that one night booking. Have a look on the web, the kids would love the yard, the old clawfoot tub, and there's a kitchen with BBQ so you don't have to eat out. Please call 888-823-6495 to reserve.
Regards, Patrice Wolf Mgr.
